Honestly in this day and age, with technology being so advanced and young people so quick to learn how to access YouTube and Twitter. I can’t helped but be stunned by the number of self made “celebrities” Yes I said SELF MADE, or maybe SELF-PROFESSED celebrities that are carving out a path of stardom for themselves when they have little or no reason to have such a following ….AND have certainly not EARNED the right to be referred to as a celebrity.
Now no offense but there is a difference between being FAMOUS and being a CELEBRITY…. anyone can be famous…. all you have to do is be well known for some reason or the other…and I have no problem with all of the randoms making their claim to fame….What does offend me is that there are a number of people in the spotlight right now, who do NOT deserve to be there. We have REAL ARTISTS struggling for interviews and recognition because everyone wants to know what Kanye’s latest show piece is going to wear (or is not going to wear) on the red carpet……
Honestly I do like Amber Rose but the girl has become FAMOUS for DATING a rapper, to a LEVEL which NO OTHER non-talented arm-piece ever has before…. now is that an accomplishment for her or a sad reflection of the state of society?? (I’m not sure but…)Not only is she FAMOUS but people actually refer to her as a celebrity….my whole issue boils down to this question: Shouldn’t a celebrity be famous for his/her talents?I mean shouldn’t the people we call celebrities, the people young people look up to be doing a little something, shouldn’t a celebrity have EARNED his or her right to be referred to as such.
In addition to having more and more randoms come out of the works I feel like the entertainment industry is become more and more over run by people who are nothing more than a walking fashion statement…YES I understand image is important….. but I feel like now-a-days people are putting TOO much emphasis on IMAGE and forgetting that what the fuck you say and do, also carry some weight!
Honestly YOUTUBE is just like a piece of chocolate cake luring in all the fat bastards that are starved for attention and just want to get there known! I’m not sure why a random dance by ______ is a topic of conversation, when they are not dancing to any of their own music, it’s not for a music video and ….it just serves no greater purpose other than to say “look at how much free time I have”….. again nothing against them but HONESTLY….what the hell is are they famous for?……you see that is my problem, I find myself bombarded with so much information, so many videos from these self entitled, so called “celebrities” that my mind is spinning wondering where the talent went and what happened to all the people out there that actually have something decent to say…. I’m just sick and tired of hearing the same old shit…..what happened to consciousness and conveying a message that will transform and uplift the young people of today……
What happened to Black Celebrities that use their fame to enhance the lives of others in their community, instead of hogging the limelight to talk shit and embarrass our race by disrespecting people at award shows for no damn reason? (no names… *cough* KANYE!) ….. I think the word CELEBRITY has become synonymous with the phrase “Global Attention Whore” and all those with some fame need to get their shit together and start talking about something that requires a spec of intellect and carries a meaningful message because honestly…I’m just tired of seeing and hearing the same old bullshit!!! Someone…anyone…..PLEASE take it to the next level….How about we try to display a little more of the content of our minds rather that exposing our flesh and chatting shit!? Is it just me or did all the celebrities that deserved that title die out a few years ago???? I can’t remember the last time I heard any of our most talked about artists, say or do ANYTHING that gave rise to a movement that could elevate this generation that is dying, both literally and mentally!! (you’d be surprised how dumb some of the young people today are, and by dumb I mean in terms of what they classify as important in their lives)
Ok I’m nearly done but let me just give you some more examples:
Solange - only really seen as a celebrity because her sister is Beyonce….if B was NOT her sister….no one would know her name and she would NOT have been on Oprah yesterday
The Khardashian Sisters- Seriously, to this day I still see them on covers of magazines and on T.V. and wonder WHAT exactly they are famous for and why anyone gives a rat’s ass about them (meant in the most undisrespectful way lol, is that even possible…..anyhu…. I just don’t understand their “celebrity”)
Co Co (Ice T’s wife) - This trashy thing actually gets interviewed…. by real magazines….again I’m yet to understand why…and who gives 2 shits what she thinks…but oh well…..
Aubrey O Day - Career is over, just hanging on to her celebrity for dear life
Frankie and Neffe- Keyisha Cole’s dysfunctional family members (though I do think Neffe’s story and some of the things she says can help other women) but still….ONLY famous via Keyisha and most of the time….chat SHIT!….
ANYONE famous from a reality TV show!!
The list is ENDLESSS…… someone anyone break the cycle……I’m even beginning to think that free speech is not that useful to further a cause….if you can never hear the words of the wise, as they are constantly over-shadowed, by the loud screams of fools!….ok im done….. comments please!
Is it just me or does this get under anyone else’s skin?? Can anyone tell me in this day and age WHAT does it take to be a CELEBRITY?? I feel like anyone who just hypes themselves up can acquire that status ….. in fact I’m starting to wonder whether the word celebrity had in fact LOST it’s value with the conditions of modernity?!
