I think there are enough people who can play instruments today. But who are the Quincy Jones,the chefs who can bring the instrument players together and make a masterpiece
?Would the youth even think in that context anymore? Being that you are expected to make entire beats on your own,and not in collaboration?

People had to learn music theory back in the day. Now they don't necessarily have to do that. Making music when you know music theory is so much easier than without it.
Melody makes a difference in music. It's mostly all beats at this point and some samples.
But music being put out by Africans these days is what it used to be like for African Americans... You can tell the difference in quality.

This, and weirdly, segregation. A bunch of elite talented black folks were packed by law into a few neighborhood blocks in cities and towns, and there is a multiplier effect when talent connects with other talent.

Anderson Paak is underrated. I've seen him live twice and he was a phenomenal showman. I got every dollars worth. His talent RAW AF

That's really important; I'm an atheist but I was raised in the church and will make my future kids attend at least once a month, and attending indirectly taught me music appreciation, how to play by ear on guitar, etc. If you're a christian, you might have a good ear for rhythm

I broke out the guitar recently and l have some stuff brewing.
Nothing like having that melodic voicing behind songs. It moves people. You tap into heaven for a little bit.

You have to get him around somebody really good at it to inspire him. Everybody needs inspiration.
Yea thats the problem. He goes to a bunk school and his peers don't have what he has. I might have to take him to the source soon. I know a couple drummers thats a good idea.

It took me six years after buying a used guitar to even bother playing it. it's just cowboy chords rn but I still love playing
I hear you. I don't wanna be THAT parent either. Just a shame. Especially considering his crew is mostly talentless MFers who would rather play wack sports n Fortnite all day
