Sometimes I get really annoyed when I see other people complaining about today's music and then make exactly whats popular right now or even worse old sounding outdated music. I still believe that most music was better in the past for unbiased reasons, but that doesn't mean that the solution is to rehash every 90s style beats or make an 80s sounding instrumental. What hip hop/rnb need now is innovation and diversity, maybe even separation. There are so many leeches in this over-saturated marked we need artists with purpose. You don't have to be all political/eccentric if that's not your style, but give us a reason we should buy your music; what sets you apart from every other artist musically? And please Only do it if you truly LOVE doing it and plan of making music that makes you feel something.
I don't care if you make your mediocre beats in 5 minutes or if you are a totally cool guy to hang out with or about your "awesome" and "swag" image or if you are on a tv-show.
If you dream of becoming the next Quincy Jones, Dr. Dre, Lex Luger or Kanye West Throw your Laptop with Fl installed on it out your window we don't need more imitators. You should dream of becoming the "next you".
I'm trying to reach out to the people who may love the good old days but aren't creatively crippled by nostalgia and want progress. If you truly have an unique and interesting style you will be successful.
It might sound naive but i really believe good new music can save the mainstream music industry, but seem like people are too close minded the indie music sounds like slightly cheaper version of mainstream music.
But plenty of people have said the same thing that I am saying now over and over. Makes me wonder if people even want good music anymore. I'm tired of dumb novelty music (not all music today is bad but if you don't like one style you're mostly screwed cuz of no diversity) but others love it. Does it even matter if I complain and what is the solution to getting innovation and diversity back music?
Feel free to reply, add your thoughts about this or scrutinize and disagree if you want. Just needed to vent. Thanks for reading.
