The thing about any genre of music is that there is a ton of shit to wade through before you find the good stuff. Record execs aren't stupid. They have a formula that works and they know how to make their money. Just because a band is making money doesn't mean they are good. The formula is a cookie cutter sheet that the masses of sheep will devour because it's not good, but it creates some sort of entitlement to a look, culture or way of life that they want to be a part of.
Manic: Rap is a genre that forgot it's roots. They left the Dj's, diggers, graffiti artists and breakers out in the cold. Was it their fault? Not really. It is more the fault of the record execs who didn't want to pay dj's or dancers. They could sample a few beats on the beat box and could save a few bucks. That being said, hip-hop is starting to do the same by forgetting the MC's as a payback and it's gradually making the Hip-Hop world barren. My advice for you Xerxys, is to look into genre's a bit deeper before making a broad general depiction of it. There is tons of rap that I hate, but there is tons of rock that I hate also. If you remember our chat a while ago, there was a huge world of music that you had either not heard of, or you never gave it a chance. Music is one of those things that you cannot find the bottom of, so why not dig as much as you can and you might be surprised by what you like. |
