A God Among Kings
unless you can prove it physically your opinion hardly holds any weight in here
computers got rid of funk and soul
that hank williams Jr song isnt even close to what traditional country sounds like ... not even 25% close
most people cant write a good song to save their selves...and most people that can write an average song have no rhythm and dont realize their song is trash
combine that with the fact that nobody can plan an instrument or knows basic theory/ has a soul to begin with ... and you just have fragmented people making bullshyt ass music. Even in the genres where they actually play music decently, they are ignorant to other types of music now. So they become very one dimensional and stagnant... Instead of learning and having an open mind they just reject everything around them and stay in a small box able to play instruments for nobody. Most of the time when you speak to a DJ or beatmaker, they will try to pretend like they know music and theory ... but all they know is the records they've bought and the stories they've read on said artists. It's complete clown shyt to be honest, Most of the singers out are a living breathing experience of not being shyt. They dont know music, and don't have the edge because they lie to themselves. They are backup singers with an internet connection. They don't want to make good music, they want to make music right now regardless of circumstance and get applause for average shyt. Janelle Monae's first CD is an example of this.... you can tell she took her time and it was masterfully crafted. She stayed true to herself and her lane. The 2nd CD wasnt tight at all and had no direction.... just people playing shyt and her wailing over it. It wasnt tight because she let it be that way. ALICIA KEYS is a prime example of this whole post, a classically trained ... platinum, light skin broad who smashed shyt on her first album... so why are you dating a weak ass producer that sampled wutang for your first album...now she's dating the peak of trash fisher price beats in swizz beats. SHE IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE CLASSICALLY TRAINED ONE HERE. Both of her men are complete trash and run her life from a production standpoint. She has no idea how to put a CD together despite being trained professionally in music. A complete waste of talent and a joke, like most people are this generation. She has just been a mess for years now, someone that is classically trained to kill shyt. That's where we are at .... no imagination, no soul, no experience to write, no care in the world. Just deflections and finger pointing ... That's why Bruno Mars is a culture vulture... not because he does black music and tries to give it credit... but for the fact that he's a karaoke artist. He always has been, he might try to learn trashy guitar and a few piano chords now... but he's way too late for that. His entire catalog will be someone elses writing and structure... he has absolutely no soul within music.
