I am in total agreement, nejih94. It also seems as though a lot of rappers resort to stealing the songs of other, true artists and completely ruining them. That's another thing, I can't stand it when a rapper tries to act all high, mighty and prideful when referring to each other as artists and musicians:
1) They aren't singing, they are speaking rhymes with a normal voice.
2) Behold, what most rap consists of: hoes, bitches, Cadillacs, homies, dogs, gangsters, law breaking, sex, money, booty smacking, need I go on? It's mindless. I'm not racist but I am genre-ist and I'm damn proud of it. Rap is NOT music as far as I am concerned.
The music industry is filled with sell-outs and it's no longer about the music for most, in my opinion, just about how many albums sell. It's a bunch of blind people perverting the idea of good music and everyone else is buying into it because it's a fad amongst today's youth. It seems as though children are having more of an influence over their parents then reversed.
Most of what I have just stated is also true for Hip Hop. God, I just can't stand how bad America's taste in music is, I honestly just get so riled up sometimes. It's ridiculous. I love music with a passion and when somebody claiming creativity and genius, but in reality containing no real talent, is showered with praise, favor and awards, I just begin to loathe society even more than I already do.
Just my two cents.
