Hip Hop...looks over lyrics.

  Seems like everybody's a musician these days. Sales for music production equipment is thru the roof! Facebook and other social sites are full of borderline decent artists that flood the system with mediocre music. Producers are taking the rap game over because people nowadays are more interested in how the beat sounds over what the artist is actually saying. They say quite often in these emails sent out to indie artists... only willing to work with "serious" individuals. This basically means..."I'm charging for my service and depending on the type of service, i may only have to render false numbers to comply with my end of the agreement". Then there's the video aspect of it all. Videos are a necessity, I get it. But I feel as though we are in a time where nobody gives a rat's ass about the lyrics, punchlines, content, and wordplay used in a song. They want the beat to bang in their car, sound good in the club, and videos for them to sit in front of a computer and watch...instead of coming to shows and showing the support that will further carreers of such artists. Its pretty sad when a wack ass song with a video goes viral over music that reaches out to the masses on many different levels.Lyricism was the main weapon used to catapult hip hop as a genre into an industry that catered to everything but. Now what we have left is a diluted version. People don't care what you say anymore in hip hop. Well maybe I should say...not enough people care. Emcees are the minority to trap music, and wack rappers with cash flow. Sad but true. Lemme know how you feel about this...leave a comment!
