[quote name='Kayden'][quote name='Chris in Cali']Totally agree, rap now is what I call "club rap" a bunch of idiots just talking about how rich they are, how much bling they got, and all the pussy they get. People buy right into it making them richer, and richer. Rap back in the day though had a message, and it was passionate. Guys like Dre, Cube, old Snoop (he's a huge sell-out now IMO), the Beastie Boys, ect. all made music that they really cared about. It was just dumbed down radio friendly rap for "reble" teens. If was music made by people that were tired of the way things were, and they wanted to make an impact throguh thei music.[/quote]
Am I the only one that read this post? This is what I'm talking about. I'm really getting sick of seeing suburban white kids in Escalades with spinners talking about how "phat deyz beez" They couldn't even drive through the ghetto, let alone grow up in one.[/quote]
While this is true, you can easily stereotype most of the music that's around today. How many gothic middleschool girls do I need to see listening to Simple Plan in a single day? What about the blowhards that go around saying "TOOL IS THE BEST BAND EVER. I'LL SHOVE YOU WITH MY FAT MEATHOOK ARMS IF YOU DON'T THINK SO!" Don't even get me started on DMB.
Music today sucks. It's all crap that's derived from crap that's derived from crap. The RIAA wonders why their sales are in the toilet, and it's not because of illegal downloads.
I don't even listen to the radio anymore, because there just isn't anything good worth listening to, at all.
For the record, Tool is overrated. For real.
