negative feelings
I love Hip-hop/Rap/R&B! However there are some instances where the music just seems ridiculous. While there are still many great artists who produce high quality music, it seems like more and more people are willing to believe that anything that the industry produces is just the "best shit ever" when clearly it's not. The quality of the majority of trendy music is horrible. The problem i find with myself it that as much as i realize this music is garbage, at times i still can't help but find myself bobbing my head to it when i hear it or maybe even singing along. I can only imagine that it's the infectious beats that bring me to "feel" the music. I'm usually pretty good about changing the radio station or doing whatever it takes to not continue to listen to those songs when I hear them. Comedian Chris Rock said it best in my opinion when he said "I love Hip-Hop, but it's getting harder and harder to defend. How do you defend 'to the windoooooow to the wall. 'til the sweat drip down my balls. Aww skeet skeet skeet skeet skeet.'" Now that song in particular, I don't have much of a problem with because it's just a feel good happy club dance song. Songs now-adays just get ridiculous. There's solja boy (and those like him) and the "crank that" anything phase the nation went through about 2 years ago...and now, we're dealing with Gucci Mane who between every line of verse sounds like a retard trying to bite his own ear as he swallows hiw tongue and moans the word "yea." The problem ultimately lies with the people though. How on earth do we keep allowing artists like this to feed us this crap and let the industry tell us it's good so we just believe it and eat it up. A hot dog is a hot dog no matter who tells you it's filet mignon!

Agreed! The music that we bop our head to can be "ridiculous". I guess as we said in class that they have dummied down to the audience just to make the quick buck. Is it really good quality rap and hip- hop? I dont know man gucci mane makes me question that. I enjoy chris rocks qoute by the way.
ReplyDeleteyeah i definitely agree some songs are just turning into.. poop. i hate all of the crank that songs they're just utterly ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteI think that the reason the songs are catchy is because they are made to be catchy and make you bop along. A lot of the new songs are silly.
