Regarding rap, I have to believe that someday people with ears will wake up and realize that the emperor has no clothes.
RE: someday people with ears will wake up and realize that the emperor has no clothes.
Yes, but as long as we get government involved in supporting or opposing something, nothing good ever comes out of it. Let our culture determine for themselves whether or not the emperor has clothes.
I miss REAL music, like this rendition of Impossible Dream by Jim Neighbors...

It’s not just rap
It’s all this compressed voice oversexed warbling
It’s awful
You should watch kids as they discover good rock or rock and roll or interesting country and western or even fusion jazz with strong guitar like Spectrum
They are like damn dad this is really good
My kids are jelly of the music I grew up with from early Brit invasion onwards
Show me a teen boy who doesn’t like AC DC or Black Sabbath
Or southern rock
Or early to mid Alice Cooper
Very little good stuff now and it’s so obscure
Highly Suspect
Greta Van Fleet
Every now and then I hear something and go that’s not bad
If TV still introduced rock videos with albums like 80s and 90s it would help the creative juices and push artistry
How much Ariana Grande and Demi Lovato or Robin Thicke and Bruno Mars or Timberlake or Drake can kids take
It’s commercial pap
All contemporary music is blacked up because of who produces it and distributes it
Like homosexual mafia influences TV and film
Contemporary music is Africanized
And it sucks
This ain’t Smokey Robinson or Percy Sledge or Otis Redding
How much worse will it get?
