oh, Music Now-a-Days...Drives me Crazy

Whatever happened to music. I used to be a huge hip-hop fan. All day, everyday. Now, geez, Soulja Boy? or why is every rap song telling me how to dance!!!!! I dont remember rap being about that! And do not get me started on T-Pain.

And what is sad, is that, IM ONLY 20! Haha. I grew up around music. Between my mom and her love for En Vouge and Madonna, and my Dad with his Dr Dre, LL Cool J and Public Enemy, and thats not counting my uncles', who played everything from Earth Wind and Fire to Bel Biv Devoe. I have an appreciation for music. I was even exposed to the Motown Era and 50's Rock from my grandparents. I loved it all.

Now when I turn on the radio, I hear crap like Pitt Bull and anyone with access to a sythesizer. It's very much irritating. I was having a conversation with my Dad not that long ago of which artist do we think will last. Yea, we were able to just a few off the top of our head. Now, most artist (not all, cause there are some that are true to their music ;) ), they just try and put out the next big hit, instead of music that means something, and that is actually good, and that can last.

Lets be honest, there is a reason why Michael Jackson was such a big artist. He had, and still has a huge follwoing. With his death, his music was exposed to the younger generations. His will never die.

And I love me some Rock and Alternative too. Dont get me wrong. In recent years, i've actually taken the time to listen, (I BECAME OPEN MINDED TO MY MUSIC ;) IT WAS A PROUD MOMENT FOR ME!) and the first song that made me stop and listen, My Hero, Foo Fighters. And me, being the wierdo that I am, I started to look up the band, which of course led me to Nirvana. One word. Amazing. Which brought me to Pearl Jam, and so on and so forth. But for the record, I was already a huge No Doubt fan, and will always be.

Ugh. My point being, Good music is so hard to find now-a-days, and I wish I could just turn on the Radio, and be satisfied.

ohh. and if anyone knows any songs that i might wanna hear, or that you think are great! let me know! i love good music!
