Rapper Mun*G has opened up about the growing trend of musicians opting for vulgar lyrics instead of creating meaningful music.
According to him, the pressure to produce hit songs is forcing even talented artists to follow trends they wouldn’t normally consider.
Mun*G explains that when an artist goes for a long time without a successful track, frustration begins to set in.
Meanwhile, those making controversial or explicit music are dominating the airwaves and receiving all the attention. As a result, some musicians start to believe that the only way to stay relevant is to do the same.
He describes this as “selling your soul”—abandoning one’s values and artistic identity to fit into what the industry demands.
Instead of staying true to their craft and patiently waiting for their moment, many artists take shortcuts by mimicking whatever is trending, even when they know it goes against their principles.
The rapper believes that impatience is one of the biggest problems in the industry today. Many musicians are unwilling to trust their unique style and put in the necessary time to build a lasting legacy. Instead, they chase short-term success by imitating what seems to be working for others.
He urges artists to resist the temptation of following fleeting trends and instead focus on creating authentic music that reflects who they truly are.
