Featuring with Jay-Z, Dr.Dre, and another three guys, Eminem has just released his new rap song, ‘Syllables.’
I wouldn’t be gotta describe the lyrics. But put them here:
What do you think about these rap musics and on which way are they going through?
Do you agree with these rappers?
Lets Discuss[/SIZE]
Shit rolls downhill…
because bad music didnt exist in the 70s, and good music doesnt exist now.
Lil wayne did not exist in the 70’s.
LIL WAYNE = ALL MUSIC TODAY THAT EXISTS
soooo
THE BEE GEES = ALL MUSIC THAT EXISTED IN THE 70S
Lil Wayne didn’t exist, so the 1970s are automatically better.
and the bee gees arent popular now, now is automatically better.
So you prefer Lil wayne over the bee gees. Wtf…
barry manilow. i prefer slow and painful death over the bee gees, and 90% of the music from the 70s for that matter.
Progressive rock from 70’s = <3
How about Queen?
How about the Village People? How about The Mars Volta?
why would you hate on the village people when the 70s had b a r r y m a n i l o w
because comparing the lyrics of two entirely different music genres aimed at two different segments of the population = a good comparison
anyway…
to put it in a nutshell: i agree, it isn´t about lyrics anymore, not about quality
people don´t give a shit anymore about music. everything you hear on radio is obviously and stupidly commercial. I could vomit everytime I turn the radio on. Today in music everything is predictable, no one bothers anymore to do something that hasn´t been done before or that wasn´t written in some book about music-theory.
Okay I take that back, instead: No one who bothers doing something new gets acknowledged because people with money are ruling music industry and their working hard to make their job easier in the future. Back before the 90´s the guys with the money might have ruled the music business too but producers had a mind of delivering quality instead of the brainfrying shit they´re making today
The problem is that there are too many folks who don´t actually know what music is and thus think every 3 chords melody mixed with some choking sounds is music. they don´t know what music is capable of. music industry and capitalism have done a great job achieving this
then dont listen to the radio herp derp
Mars Volta, yeeesssss.
But honestly, it’s not like all music from the 70’s was good. I mean, disco was fucking terrible.
generalizations: the thread
also mars volta in a discussion about lyrical quality???
Give it 30 years. The only reason it seems like all music from 30-40 years ago is good is because all the shit has been filtered off over the years. It was also a lot easier to filter off the shit then than now, on account of the lack of networking, digital music formats, and whatnot that facilitates even a middling song going viral overnight today.
There’s more music in more styles coming out more rapidly and passed around much more quickly on account of our connectivity than at any time before. Give it a couple decades. Whatever survives beyond simply being a flavor of the moment will be the music that defines the new millenium, and I bet when that time comes and the scum and the ear acid has been skimmed off the pond, will we fondly remember these decades for…whatever happens to survive, while simultaneously bemoaning the death of music on account of whatever’s hit-making at that time.
Everyone seems to harp and bitch and moan and complain and worry about the state of music these days while simultaneously torrenting the shit out of it all, and like most things, money talks. Whatever’s on the radio is on the radio because it apparently makes the big bucks. If you really are uncomfortable with that, well, toughnuggets. Take your dollars and spend them on the music you want to hear, and don’t pirate the shit out of the struggling artist whose pain and passion or whatever crafted his beautiful music.
Now, we can cherry-pick the greatest offenders today and put them up against the greatest legends from the past and then sit back and go “see, look at that! it’s a sign!” (Thinking of that ridiculous image posted a few posts above this one,) All we want, but we’re lying to ourselves. Judging by the very “What are you listening to” thread that’s been a part of this community since I can remember, there’s clearly plenty of tunes out there that you all are partaking in and enjoying, and there’s an incredible growth in musical exploration and diversity than there has ever been.
Now, I’ve ranted for days about this now, so I’ll boil down the tl;dr points-- music has always had crappy artists. It takes time for the cream and the crap to separate, so judging music of today against the hits of the past is like comparing a bottle of grape juice to a 1920 vintage. There’s more diversity in sound and music than there has ever been before, and the internet allows anyone with a keyboard and even a hint of motivation to put his crap out there. So, yes, bad music is everywhere, it always has been, it just travels farther faster than it should ever have a right to these days.
