''You are a total sell out!''
You must be wondering, Why? How come i'm a Sell-out all of a sudden? What about my originality? what about my compassion towards my fans/followers/lunatics? I was trying to reach out to them. I just wanted to express myself in a way, in which it brings people together. This is beyond entertainment, a gift from god to the society. I'm just the medium. Every time i work on something new,i get possessed by a divine spirit, my senses shut down. Its like i'm going through all the bizarre things that an extraterrestrial abductee has experienced, in that brief history of time. After spending a few moments like this on the 7th dimension, i return home, Only to find out that I've lost half the ink of my pen, The writing pad which was clean minutes ago was dirtied with a piece of sacred literature which, apparently, has an encrypted message hidden inside.
On weed or not that's how a revolutionary, spiritual or a politically conscious artist would like us to think of him. Maybe he's right. I don't have any questions regarding the authenticity of the story of '' The origins of my Shit''. He could be a Philosopher, a Revolutionist, a Pretender/21st century politician, a Musician or just a worthless blogger. The claim of him being in direct contact with God is his U.S.P ( Unique Selling Proposition). That's how he differentiate himself from the rest, his way of standing above competition like a fully bloomed lotus in a pond, his way of communicating to the world that he's the embroidered patch, while all the others are just a mere stroke of paint on the fabric. What do i have to say about it? "All the best with your campaign, and hope you achieve all of your marketing objectives as planned!''
But haven't you noticed a certain pattern in the works of many of these artists? The first few works of art attracts the initial crowd due to it's rawness, and Vinci's (Hypothetical artist) attitude says something like '' I don't give a shit whether you admire this or not, this is my way of expressing myself! Don't like it? then GTHO( Get the hell out) !!'' The demon dominates, when the artist becomes aware of his own popularity. Then what does Vinci do? he starts doing things to satisfy his new fans. And when Vinci starts to grow in popularity, and when it's like a ''Trend'' to become one of his fans, his fame hits the climax. With hundreds of awards, his own reality TV show, Vinci clothing line, and his birthday, June 12th, declared as ''Vinci day'', a public holiday, Vinci has officially become DA SHIT!
Every one his happy, except for a few( here we go again... the annoying minority). Remember the folks who were the first to admire his works? The folks who were attracted by the rawness of his initial works of art? They are so disappointed, Some of them even got together and started their own website ' www.ScrewVinci.com'. In Vinci's point of view however, his decision was reasonable. He can't pretend to be the same Ol' and attract more followers can he? He had to make that swift change in order to become more successful in a larger scale. Had he not switched, there'd be no awards, worldwide recognition, his TV show and most importantly a ''Vinci day''. Sure he had to make some sacrifices on the road to success, and amongst the heart broken were his true fans, the people who loved him for his talent not for his fame. Worth the sacrifice? You decide...
