So Apparently HipHop Artists in Malawi are brain storming on having this one idea
of not letting their creativity, artistly robbed by the consumers. By this i mean by giving out
free music. I Have been following recent posts in the social media for sometime now,
so this is what they are advocating why music cant be given for free;
1. Money spent (Studio Fees) for the overall production
2. Time spent by the artists to come up with the output product, obviously not for free
3. Artistry though God given Talent, for one to get hold of their favorite artists, they need to invest
visa vee thus they need to buy(pay Money) records there-by promoting their favourite artists aswel as growing the Malawian HipHop Industry. (Don't confuse with the Album Music, this is Strickly HipHop Music)
4. Artists need to survive. Consumers need to understand that this genre if well managed can be a multimillion industry here in Malawi. As such buy the music so that artists can make and earn a living out of it.
5. If you Love it, invest by buying it; Similary if we want Soda/Juice, We pay for it, why not do the same with Rap Music.
6. Do not complain as consumers that as a Genre/Culture Hip-Hop is not going anywhere. We are where we are because YOU the consumers want to rip artists off their creativity for free. I cant stress this enough but please buy the music.
7. We Understand that Malawi is a third World country thereby we do not have these credit/Debit/VISA cards where one can be enabled to buy digital music, Mechanisms are put in place to resolve this issue. However we still have western Union where money can be sent back & forth if we really are serious in promoting our local Artists.
8. When One sows, one expects to reap out of it. Similarly this applies to this genre, As artists are investing by sowing consumers have to also invest by buying the products. Either way, there has to be
leverage and benefits.
9. If we seriously want to grow our ever weakening economy of ours lets start with the grassroots( the Youth) thus buying their music. Rap Music as genre alone is a Multi- Billion Dollar industry. Same way we can by & by do the same here. yes we can. We come along way to be saying no ways it wont happen.
There you have it. If you want your favorite artists to flourish, support & invest in them by buying their music.I would have loved to see the same critiques come forth buying records same way they do their critics. Love me or loath me, bottom line is you need to invest & Support the industry.
