What Happened To Music? (Player Hater Goes On A Rant Abt How Hip Hop Messed black music up)

[I Self Lord & Master]

aint bothering listening to that shit..these "internet ranters" are the type of mofos folks wont hear out in person, so why the fuck would i hear u out on the internet? shut yo talkin ass up

no in regards to the question, its simple: music appreciation.

black folks loved music to the core, the aspects of it, not just the songs. They would sit back and discuss the bassist or the drummer and his technique and the tones and all that techinical stuff. And on top of that it was nothing to have all kinds of folks on the block w/ all kinds of instruments, and using them shits too. Proficiently, whether or not they could read music.this was the case from like the 10's through the 70s in the "hood"

its started to fade away during the 80s..but those of the 80s were raised by mofos who were or around musicians...they had them on the block. thats why that 80s and 90s production was so colorful. they appreciated and knew music

now, ud be lucky to find a dude on ur block w/ a damn toy flute that comes w/ candy, let alone a real horn.

He said some real shit but unfortunately in this day and age anyone with a contrasting opinion from the majority is labeled a "hater".

The problem is that black music used to mean more than just making catchy songs to make money to stunt on people. Like you said, we actually appreciated it and craft it to the point of perfection, or closest to it. Even old school rap sampled classic R & B records studied it and looped it in order to preserve it.

The 2 things that killed it was the sampling laws and the rise of the snare based catchy songs with no real depth. On top of the budget cuts that made kids of this generation illiterate to read music or to play an actual instrument. It's almost a lost art in itself. Hip Hop had its hand in it, but these record companies want that fast food type music that generate instant profits.

Niggas who criticize hip hop rarely listen to hip hop... Real talk

 

[Louis Cipher]

at work cant see the video...

2 things tho

1. if you think todays music is trash...dont listen to it...im very selective about what i listen to.

2. if you think todays music is trash. listen to the old stuff...a lot of it is still relevant today...

okay one more thing: aint nobody forcing you to listen to 2chainz or lil wayne nigga!!!

 

[Ounceman]

honestly as a casual music listener, black music aint the only music thats messed up. most of the music (regardless of the genre) thats out today is on a mainstream level.

 

[Mister B.]

To a great degree...he was DEAD on. Hip-Hop is my native tongue, but I can also play four instruments. I might be the only person from my neighborhood that can tell you the difference between a 2/4 and a 3/4 time signature or the tempo of a song that 80 BPM to a song that's 120 BPM, and that's some sad shit.

The only thing I disagree with is that it's not all Hip-Hop's fault. Like he said, music is simply not being taught in schools anymore.

 

[WhoisDonG???]

I mostly miss the variety we use to have in music it seems everyone sounding like everybody now.

 

[VulcanRaven]

Rap is trash now ...fact
