"Calm down it's just music" as Cam'ron said. This is such a true statement especially as of late. With the popularity of blogging and tabloids and magazines, everyone has something overly negative to say about the rich and famous.
The problem with this is that there are so many people who seemingly have nothing better to do than "analyze" things that were not meant to be analyzed for anything deep. Case and point, the obsession of "famous" couples and their relationship. When a couple doesn't talk about their relationship, then they have something to hide. They must be keeping a lot of skeletons in their closet being as they are unwilling to show their hand. Then if they are a little more public about their relationship, then it's time to get the body-language experts on the pictures. Now the pictures are telling a story that may possibly be an untrue depiction of what is happening; because I know from personal experience, pictures do lie. If that's not enough, as a musician you can't just tell a fictional story for entertainment purposes anymore.
With the information age, a song can't be about entertainment anymore. If someone says anything in a song then it must be true. These artists are not allowed to show their artistry according to the tabloids and gossip blogs. If the song is about having an affair then that person must be having an affair. If the song is about killing someone then they must be a murderer. Lord forbid the person talk about an encounter with a man or a woman that does not appear to be the significant other, they must be having an affair. These people are so ridiculous.
One thing I know for sure is that in general smart people do not try to hide out in the open. If I was a multi-platinum, million record selling artist, I am not about to sing or rap a song that puts my personal business on blast. If I did just make a huge drug deal, I am not singing a song that tells how and what I did and was not caught for. A fool may do this sort of thing but a wise person would not.
It's just entertainment people!
