Veteran artiste Big Joe Frazier has sparked controversy by claiming that many modern artistes are more hype than substance.
In a recent interview on Xzone with Afia Owusu on TV XYZ monitored by News & Vibes, the celebrated rapper asserted that social media has created a platform for untalented artistes to gain popularity without putting in the effort to develop their craft.
While acknowledging the positive impact of social media on the music industry, Frazier emphasized that many modern artistes lack the dedication and passion required to produce quality music.
He contrasted this with his own era, where artistes underwent rigorous processes to ensure their songs met high standards before release.
Frazier’s comments have ignited a heated debate about the role of social media in the music industry and the value placed on talent versus hype. Do you agree with Big Joe Frazier’s assessment?
