Listen To The Lyrics Not The Beat
The Hip Hop Nation has been through some drastic changes in the past ten years. Hip Hop artist have been convinced that the general population wants to hear fancy jingles. Companies aren’t signing a rapper with lyrical wordplay anymore, Labels are looking for the next dance crave. It seems like the record labels want there artist to be like everyone else, just as long as it sells . Let’s be true(p), artist rap to make some form of revenue, but this uninterrupted flow of pop and dance songs are getting old . It has gotten to the point where I don’t even play my tuner anymore. It’s time to get back to the real Hip Hop music . The music where you get excited when you hear a dope verse line, not a dope beat. Hot beat+whack lyrics= A Hit, but cool beat+tight lyrics=no recognition.What has happened to the music I use to love?
Where is the poetry in rap ? Why does all Hip Hop music sounds the same now? Will rap music ever be the same ? All these questions will continue unanswered until artist find the love for their craft. Everybody can rap, lyrics are anything that rhymes.Everybody can’t be an M.C. , you have to separate the two . You have your rappers and those who are an emcee . there is a difference . Ex. Artist that repeats himself on every track he does, would be considered a rapper. An artist that recreates himself on every track will be considered an Emcee. Emcee are able to position words together in a way a rapper can’t. Reciting lyrics is an emcee’s craft, but it’s a rappers job. I feel that in the near future Hip Hop will rule again. It’s either that or record sales will continue to fall and eventually cease to exist. The only rappers that will be devising the big money is the ones with established names already.Their are a couple artist out there that still bring true Hip Hop tone to the industry. Ex.Kurty Durty is what I call an Emcee. Check him out at the links below.
