Beginners in any creative field often cannot create something new on their own, they draw ideas from more successful colleagues. Byter is a person who is inspired by the creativity of stars, copying their style. Such people are called plagiarists.
Good or bad to be a byte
Each country has copyright laws that do not allow the reproduction of works without the consent of the composer or poet. But no one bothers to modify the composition so that it only resembles, rather than verbatim, copy the original. This method allows you to circumvent the law, but the opinion of the majority still tends to the fact that a byte is a person who is deprived of talent and not worthy of attention.
Critics do not respect people who copy other people's ideas. They are unflattering about them in the reviews. At the same time, there are bytes in all spheres of art and culture. Many domestic television companies buy licenses of Western series, only slightly adapting them to Russian realities. People familiar with the original versions most often do not perceive the substitution.
Bytes in rap
The expression "this is byte" came to us from hip-hop culture. Rappers often take an example from each other. Take at least a well-known case - the first Infinite album by a little-known artist was released in 1996. He was hardly noticed by listeners and critics. The thing was that the whole album was copied in style from the works of Nas and AZ. In 1999, the same artist released his second album, The Slim Shady LP, and the whole world recognized the rapper Eminem. The secret of his success is that he found his style, manner of reading.
Most of the domestic artists clearly illustrate who is a byte in rap. Take at least the mega-popular Oxymiron, he was repeatedly reproached for copying the manner of reading from Eminem. Indeed, there are similarities, the legend about the disorder of the psyche of the performer coincides. But the manner of execution was copied quite qualitatively, so Miron has a crowd of fans.
How to get rid of copying
So, a byter is not the most respected creative person, since he cannot create something of his own. Although some argue that it is impossible to create, which previously was not in culture. In the USA, bytes have always been ridiculed, but in Russia this is not a big sin.
Really talented rappers can express themselves with the help of tracks. To do this, you just need to spend time searching for your sound, experiment a lot and reconsider your attitude to music.
