This article satirizes a fictionalized problem in the recording studio. While in a recording session, Lil Wayne gets confused because of all the other recording artists recording along with him. He knows a few of them, but after they finish the track he asks them all to clearly state their name and intentions into the microphone.
This obviously never happened, but it's not too far off of what I feel. My iPod is a mess of literally hundreds of artists featuring artists. For instance, just to name a few of the spinoffs of one artist as they appear on my iPod:
Nelly,
Nelly & Ali &Big Gipp & Paul Wall,
Nelly & Ali & Gube Thug,
Nelly & Cedric the Entertainer,
Nelly & Christina Aguilera,
Nelly & Citu Spud,
These are six of the twenty-five that I have, and I don't even have all of them! It clutters up my iPod, and instead of listening to the one main recording artist, you have to individually go through all the different artists and select each desired song. In my opinion, the official artist name should only refer to the main artist. Each featured artist ought to appear on the name of the song, not as a completely different artist couple. The featured artists probably see this as a way of getting their lesser known name out there, but nobody seriously looks at the never ending list that accompanies each and every hip hop artist's name. From one fed up music connoisseur to the music world- Come on, quit being ridiculous.
