as far as TiTi's comment on rap...well many many rap fans think todays rap is terrible....and too "poppy"...
Why is this?....hhhhhmmm because everyone sees that if you throw together a few half ass rhymes and loop a 4 second beat for 5 minutes then you too can become a rap star....
Compare todays rappers to before it was SOOOO mainstream...
Rakim, Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane, D-Nice, Tribe Called Quest, Guru etc etc etc did for the art of the music....Eminem and the rest of these new found corporate boardroom artists do it because they see the profit, they see they can drive the benz or what have you....and todays rappers compared to yesterdays rappers are a joke
Rakim is by far the best rapper ever to walk this planet...and you can ask any hardcore rap fan and they will tell you the same...but he wasnt all over the radio, the way Eminem or 75 Cent are ....
There is no argueing the fact that the minute the CEO in the board-room sees the potential profits in Trance, they will embrace, smother it, and in the end leave it to rot in the alley after the fad has died out....this is a fact!!!
Like i said the more mainstream it gets, the more producers you will see because people will see that they can make fast cash if they produce tracks in volume very fast to be pushed onto the radio...and when that happens you will have very crappy tracks....this has already started in late 2002...2003's Trance is horrible...and will contnue to get worse as American radio fowls it up...how else can you explain tracks like Benni Benassi - Satisfaction or Oakenfolds - Starrey Eyed Crap, or Tiesto's Traffic....""all mainstream melodic pump it on your radio while cruising around after the mall with your double expresso, hair jell, Armani shirts, while drinking your whey protein shake Trance".....ugh disgusts me |
I like Traffic... lol... I think it gets worse, KTU crap like Dj Sammy who call themselves Trance Producers... I hate to break it to ya, but besides a couple of shows here and there Party 93.1 in Miami is esssentially the same bullshit...
