Ever Feel Like Music is Possessed or Demonic

[BigE's Taper Fade]

first of all No Mr.Somebody, but i know some of yall be feeling this b


I stopped listening to ASAP and the Weeknd, because it seems like their music has no positive points in it..There's no happiness in regardless of how the beats make you feel euphoric (As music should do), but its just endless hedonism and the attempt to give you the feeling as if mankind is a black hole within a black hole...


very disturbing

If all art is happiness and peaceful then it would not be an accurate representation of the world we live in.

Well Asap Rocky and The Weekend ARE demonic forces, brotheren. Its not crazy to feel such a way when listening to their melodies... which are hypnotizing.

That's understandable, But there's a difference between a painting, hell even a statue...vs. music.


Music is a promotional art and an emotionally provocative art.What it releases is consumed wholesale by the human psyche and the human soul. Traditionally most music comes with some kind of lessons, coming up from the hard times, struggle, happiness ,love ect...but what accurate representation is shallow singing about suicide, drugs, rape, ect. supposed to provoke in the human mind...when it comes with no lesson whatsoever, but that "I do these things, or claim to do these things, I sing about it, and I get famous"...meanwhile people do those things to their own demise based off their ignorance and what that music is telling them to "do"

How bout movies vs. music?

Quentin Tarantino doesn't get as much flack for his films than Eminem does for his lyrics. Is this justifiable?

I mean I think you could find the same parallell in movies..but I'm not a movie buff so I couldn't tell you..

But I think that music is much easier to ingest in terms of its message and its influence, because what your ears are listening to is what your eyes begin to see...You can lie to someone's ears and their brain will produce one image, if you get what I mean...Speech, and by extention music (and its accompanying melodies and rhythm, seem to be the most powerful medium that we have for influencing the human mind and emotional state..


I'll give you a little excerpt from A D'angelo article that had me thinking about this

Shame, guilt, repentance—D'Angelo knows them well. To say that he was raised religious doesn't begin to capture it. He's the son and the grandson of Pentecostal preachers. To D'Angelo, good and evil are not abstract concepts but tangible forces he reckons with every day. In his life and in his music, he has always felt the tension between the sacred and the profane, the darkness and the light.

"You know what they say about Lucifer, right, before he was cast out?" D'Angelo asks me now. "Every angel has their specialty, and his was praise. They say that he could play every instrument with one finger and that the music was just awesome. And he was exceptionally beautiful, Lucifer—as an angel, he was."

But after he descended into hell, Lucifer was fearsome, he tells me. "There's forces that are going on that I don't think a lot of motherfukkers that make music today are aware of," he says. "It's deep. I've felt it. I've felt other forces pulling at me." He stubs out his cigarette and leans toward me, taking my hand. "This is a very powerful medium that we are involved in," he says gravely. "I learned at an early age that what we were doing in the choir was just as important as the preacher. It was a ministry in itself. We could stir the pot, you know? The stage is our pulpit, and you can use all of that energy and that music and the lights and the colors and the sound. But you know, you've got to be careful."

@BigE's Taper Fade

The music isn't the problem, it's what we choose to promote with it.

@AktionJackson

True, I love that ppl are able to express their pain, but, that doesn't change the fact that music is promoted in a way that influences the way people act; positive or negative.

 

[Mr Uncle Leroy]

when you really listen to rap/trap music its very gritty laden tales.

 

[kevm3]

Some music artists actually used to cast spells over their songs before releasing it. Music is a very powerful medium for influencing people.

 

[MikelArteta]

Don't forget Lucifer was the minister of music.

A lot of music is pure filth and can have a negative impact on you if you continue to listen
