I can't remember the last time I put up to date music on it, other than recent albums that I bought. Everything in the music industry is turning into pop, especially hip hop and R&B. Look at Rihanna and Beyonce, these are basically the two female R&B singers at this time. Even though they're considered R&B artists, their music is very pop-ish. True R&B artists like Monica and Keyshia Cole don't get noticed as much. Artists are focusing more on the quantity of their sales rather than the quality of their music. Thanks for your opinion!

Especially the fact that there IS good music out there, it just doesn't get any air time, radio play, etc. Also the lack of videos on BET, MTV, and VH1 is also affecting the music world. If you turn to either if these so-called "music" channels, majority of the air play goes to reality shows. Back then, videos were played throughout the day, which gave different artists more shine. I think that REAL music fails to break through because so many people prefer the "money, sex, drugs" songs over the songs with meaning.. Why? because that's what's popular and believe it or not, so people don't know how to go against the grain. *sends up prayer for the music industry* lolLaBellaBosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07681833044964414103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527892193931204855.post-3708600702227368662011-01-31T07:43:42.395-05:002011-01-31T07:43:42.395-05:00hmmm you have an amazing point to this i think hon...hmmm you have an amazing point to this i think honestly the reason "hip hop" is the way it is because now a days rappers are not looking to challenge themselves as far as lyrics goes like they are afraid to voice their true feelings i know money could make life a little better but there is always problems Wale gets all this hype when he really is just bringin a new style to be honest rap will never be the same again hip hop died in 05Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527892193931204855.post-16879023520547106522011-01-30T16:02:41.144-05:002011-01-30T16:02:41.144-05:00One contributing factor to the fall of "real&...One contributing factor to the fall of "real" or "thoughful" music is the fact that sex, money and drugs sell. That's why artists like Gucci, Waka and Rick Ross tend to get more spins and radio play than more introspective artists like Lupe, J Cole or Wale. Think about it, Erykah Badu had to get naked and do a song with Ricky Rose for promotion of her new album. People didn't even know who wale was before "No hands". We live in a society where most young black men respect Boosie more than Barack. That being said, there is plenty of good music out there, it just doesn't make it off the shelf, and that is discouraging for up and coming conscious rappers. As for the cover it would be Kanye, Wale, Drake, BoB, J Cole, TI, Kudi and Weezy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527892193931204855.post-87847144770911044482011-01-28T14:52:50.928-05:002011-01-28T14:52:50.928-05:00I actually do lil all of B.o.B's songs that he...I actually do lil all of B.o.B's songs that he's come out with! I will have to try out his mixtape, thanks for the heads up! I like your list of who you would put on the cover. I would probably add J Cole, I think he's a GREAT lyricist. I think there are some underground female rappers, but they don't get attention because of Nicki.

As for nowadays though B.o.B never disappoints me, you should listen to a few of his mixtapes, especially "no genre"!! :)<br />As for the cover I'd put B.o.B, Eminem, Lupe Fiasco, Jay-Z, Kid Cudi and T.I(btw you're so right, no women at all!! I probably should throw Nicki on there just for the sake of having a female presence :p)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
