if you are looking at the mainstream for your source for good music, and you are looking in the wrong direction. music has transformed into a business. a&r's and higher execs don't care about talent. they care about making a hit, and appealing to the 12-17 demoraphic. there was a time where you needed to have talent to get a major deal. once you got signed, they groomed you into an artists, gave you a buzz, then released your album. after that, the indie game blew up, so then the majors signed people who were pushin units and had a strong indie fan base. now? they just signing teenagers who can make catchy songs. it baffles me, with an arists like tech n9ne, who has a strong following, drops 100k albums, tours for most of the year, still ain't on a major yet, but we hear the same garbage on the radio. but don't listen to the radio or tv, as your main source.
i dont listen to the radio as a main source at all heres a example of what i mean * ball and mjg they were one of my top 10 fav groups up to riden high that album wasnt them they were "space age pimpin" right but now they sound like every other artist coming out now they were trend setters but now it seems as if they are following the trend!
I stopped watching Rap City back in 1999. Real talk. I haven't listened 2 the radio since 1996. I remember being in the record store once or twice a week looking for new shit. I go like once a month now(if I'm lucky). Even when an artist I like drops an album..... I'm not as excited 2 hear their new shit like I use to. I'm a collector of CD's so I'm always looking but the qaulity of music been down. I'm buying & replacing old 90's music rather then buying new shit cuz the new shit aont no good. And these wack ass DVD's that the artist be putting out are just as worse as the music. I got a bigger complaint about the hip hop DVD's & hip hop influenced movies then I do the hip hop music.
