After watching a documentary “RIP! A Remix Manifesto”, I thought it was quite interesting that it was all about giving people the chance who want to remake the video or add and share their thoughts on certain stuff. Thirty minutes in, one of the voices in the video claims “these are communities, they’re being created by the opportunity this technology makes available, and this community is engaged by a kind of conversation, each one taking what the other had done and adding to it. Mixing it and changing it and engaging.” Balancing people's ideas and creative thoughts into a video is a great way to express freedom of speech, but there is a length of where it should become balanced with the concept of establishing certain properties and copyrights. There is an instance where a rap artist named J. Cole went out of his way to write a song about another artist and was kind of bashing on him [Lil Pump] after hearing that Lil Pump supposedly tweeted something about him. The song he writes is “1985” in his new album “KOD”. The song is him expressing his take on where artists have ended up and where their intentions lie now that they are making money. He claims that he [Lil Pump] doesn’t know how to make real music that speaks to their fans in a beneficial way. I honestly thought that the song and lyrics expressed accurately where a lot of people think new and upcoming rap artists are now. The song was a bit much, but then I soon watched an interview with Lil Pump and J. Cole, and J. Cole apologizes expressing he didn’t know Lil Pump and vice versa. Now that he’s gotten to know him, they both talked about the incident and they are in a good place now.
