Weezey is today's version of Madonna - a lot of hit songs but no great songs.
Madonna was more derivative than seminal.
Madonna took the music and culture she learned at New York clubs Limelight, Danceteria or Area and offered her interpretation as a new product for the masses.
Madonna stole Vogue culture from the gays from that era. (Even though Malcolm McLaren did it better with Deep in Vogue.)
Madonna was more known for her image than for her talent.
Sure, I still enjoy hearing Holiday, Lucky Star or Burning Up - but I don't think that these are among the greatest songs of all time.
Don't think they're comparable at all, Bra. What's Weezy stolen and made his own such that he's got a similar kind of global dominance like Madonna? You mentioned Madonna, but didn't say nuffin abt Weezey.
ReplyDeleteOkay KayDub,
ReplyDeleteWeezey and Madge both started their own record labels.
Both are everywhere.
Both came from humble beginings.
Both influence popular culture...
