Rap.
Any of you who know me personally should know how much I dislike rap.
Most of the time it sounds like a beat. Nothing but a beat and some dumbo rambling and mumbling on so you can't understand what they are saying. How is that music at all?
Then, there's the music videos that correspond with these songs. Oh my gosh! Will the girls P-L-E-A-S-E put some clothes on! The songs tend to lean towards sex. And by lean, I mean that are so close they might as well fall off a cliff. Yes, I know, sex sells. It makes the songs more popular and makes the "artist" more money. DOES EVERYTHING have to involve sex and money. Either it's just me or that, for a good deal, is what music has reverted to.
Rap, as I feel, is supposed to be the raw emotions. Show the feelings and all included in how that person feels. It should be, understandable, easy to relate to and created in a way that doesn't take away from the meaning of the song. It should have a simple beat or instrumental part. That way it really conveys the message of the artist. Music videos should not have all these women that flaunt what they have (or what they don't have.) There should be meaning and emphasis put into those types of videos.
There's only one artist I've ever really know to follow what is written above. He's a local artist too. The meaning is wonderful! And you can really feel how he was feeling when all these events took placed that influenced him. The instrumental used is exquisite! I fell in love with the first song I heard. Me, one who hates just about all rap with a fiery passion. His music is unlike something I've ever heard and it's something any person my age, or any other age, can easily relate to.
Why can't more music artists be like that?
