dam rite atomic kitten n all the rest i cant believe ppl actually listen to that crap
but any artist/s who write their own songs play their own instruments i have respect for...even if i dun personally like them
bands that push the limits of music and use new ideas to enhance their music i also admire. they prove music can do amazing things, instead of insult it and abuse it like all those pop artists, especially boy bands.boy bands should be all hanged

Simply put, popularity is not an indication of quality. With few exceptions, most popular music isn't good music. This is largely due to factors such as 'sex appeal' and 'look' etc:..Besides mass advertising campaigns.

By your logic, P Daddy/Diddy/Doodily(Or *Insert other rap star here*) is a true, brilliantly talented artist on the virtue of being popular. (Not saying all rap music is horrible though.. Just most of it. Outkast are pretty good, for instance.)

This stands for rock music as well. Most of the best music can still be found in the underground, in any genre.

Well since you're such a proud hiphop fan, please tell us the artists you listen to.

5-10 years ago boy bands were in the same place as rap and hip hop are now, top of the charts, the most popular music etc... people woke up and realised it was shit.. people will most probably do that with rap and hip hop. rap and hip hop are fads, and like all fads, will become tedious, and soon wear itself out
whereas rock has lived since the late 60's early 70's, and it is still going

People will finally realize that all they've been hearing the last few years is repetition and they will end up getting sick of it and wanting something original.

"Simply put, popularity is not an indication of quality"

i like this...an analogy,

the nazi party was popular in germany in the 1930's...this does not mean that the nazi party was good.

Depends on how you look at it, really. Sure, if you were a Jew the Nazi party being around would have sucked bigtime. But for ordinary Germans, i'm not so sure. Cheap cars, cheap radios, low unemployment...all for price of giving up democratic freedom but who gives a shit about political rights if you're starving?

This is the second time i've seen you use the Germany analogy in the two threads i've seen you reply to...are you Jew or something?

 

[chelloveck]

the general concensus in germany was that they were happy with the nazi party, of course the jews weren't but they were a minority. this simply says "popularity is not an indication of quality", it doesn't matter how you look at it, the nazi party WAS popular and they still did really bad things.

did i use this analogy before? in which thread? i think i might have used an analogy involving hitler, but not the nazi party and it's popularity...

i totally agree, and hip hop has already started wearing out on me now. but some of the early rnb was good, i still like it, just now it seems there is too much of it.

rock is there.. u just have to know where to look

 

[Aaron1911]

What I find annoying is when they mix rnb chorus with rap verses. It hurts both genres imo.

 

[iambored]

there's more of it going on now. more hip hop stuff

 

[cro_angel]

i hate the whole manufactured popstar thing
