JDiggz: Support Canadian Talent!

Whatz good everybody! So here we are again with the third installment of my muchmusic.com blog (Check out installments ONE and TWO)… And this time around, I got some shit to get off my chest!!! At this point in my Career, I am getting tired of promoters, radio programmers, media, etc! Besides the wonderful supportive MuchMusic family, there are not really any other outlets supporting urban music (i.e. R&B, Rap/Hip-hop) in this country!!!

I know that 60% of the urban music out there is cliche, but there are a few of us out here who actually try to do something different!!! For example, when I write a record, the first thing that comes to my mind is “how can I make this record as commercially appealing and different as possible.” I don’t do threatening music, I don’t do gangster rap. I make songs for women! I make party music, and every now and then I will throw in a record that actually means a lot to me! Either way, I am over people not booking us and not supporting us until we break over to the American side of things!!!

This is where musical genre becomes transparent though! This applies to everything, entertainment wise! This is why actors, comedians, and singers make it in the states and STAY in the states, because when they were trying to get some love in Canada, the country brushes them off! We are the ONLY country in the world that has a problem with supporting our own talent. Maybe it’s because we are so damn close to America, or maybe because we suck American dick so much that the semen in our eyes is blinding us to our own talent! So, let’s start supporting our talent, before America takes our next Russell Peters or our next Jim Carrey!

In Conclusion, as a unit, can we start fully supporting our talent? So when the greats make it worldwide, they PROUDLY represent this otherwise GREAT country!!! We need show promoters!!!! We need Media Magazines, and we NEED SPINS radio stations!!!!!!!! Do yourselves a favor and take a page out the book of MuchMusic! Thank God for Moses Znaimer!!

Thanks for reading!
