Well technically the prison owns it, and I'm not sure if an institution of the state can be gay...no I think you have to be biological for that.:dozey:

Yes - of the lamest comment award!!:rolleyes:

I think it's more like that most Americans have zero ability to appreciate music. I can't think of any other reason why all the really popular music here is just completely, unarguably awful. Rap is one of the most popular styles, but rappers don't even try to make good music; they just bang repetitively on drums and chant incredibly profane lyrics usually in a computer-modified electronic voice that makes it sound even worse. It's not that the musicians are terrible...it's more like that most of them aren't musicians at all, and the few that are just follow what's popular, and keep making painful noise while calling it music.

 

But it's never all bad...there are always exceptions. :D

Excellent comment. Most rap is undoubtedly crap.;)

I second that. Many of us in the United States cannot appreciate good music. For example, Coldplay's music is just pure genius, as many other artists such as Radiohead and Mogwai, but when we say we like this music we get labeled "fags" or "gay", but it's just the opposite, when someone says that Coldplay's music is trash they are only insulting their own intelligence. And yes, most rap is crap these days, its just ringtone rap that has no meaning or effort, its just noise. On the other hand, there is one rap group that is pretty good, check out the group Flobots, I particularly like the song Stand Up. At least the Americans on this forum like real music, and that gives me hope.

They don't "try" to make good music? You know something about rappers that I don't? You've seen their recording sessions?

 

The quality of music and lyrics has nothing to do with the level of talent possessed by most rappers or the amount of effort (or lack of..according to you) they put in their music...they simply do what sells..and I don't blame them (the artists). Jay-Z made a comment years ago saying that he could make his lyrics more intelligent or political (don't remember exact quotes), but its easier to simply make music that sells.

 

What was that song that was popular last year..."this is why i'm hot" or something like that...hell in the lyrics the artists goes out and says that "i can sell a million by singing one line" (or something like that). Do i like the song? Hell no..its stupid. Do I have anything against the artist for understanding what sells and using it to his advantage? No.

 

If you're looking for good rap look towards talib kweli, mos def, immortal technique and similar artists...there are good rappers out there but you won't find them on a top 10 chart.

 

Other thing you have to keep in mind that everyone's taste in music is different and also dependent on things like their mood...age...things going on in their life etc etc etc. I doubt that anyone above the age of 18 would pay for a miley whatever-her-name-is song's. Prolly pre-teen girls who use their parent's credit cards on itunes to purchase the tracks =0)...thats the only logical explanation I can come up with =0).

 

Personally I don't care what the charts look like...I listen to what I like, discover new artists/songs through friends, and I don't listen to the radio.

 

Let the world have its katy perrys (or whatever her name is)..as long as they don't bug me, I won't go around creating threads about how much their music sucks.

Which is why it's called "selling out". Same goes for all that obsession with "bling" and scantily-clad women.

All wrong.;)

Yes that one rap group is good..every other rap artist in the world sucks. From now on you shall be the sole determiner of good music.

 

Why do you care if you're labeled a fag or a gay for liking coldplay? You're doing the same by questioning their intelligence. Hold yourself to a higher standard.

 

Accept that what is music to you may be trash to someone else, and what is trash to you is music to someone else. The world would be a boring place if everyone listened to coldplay and radiohead and there was no variety out there.

You don't like scantily-clad women? There's a lot of warm blooded males out there (including myself) that don't mind eye candy in music videos. Do I want them to trickle over into coldplay videos? Nope. Does it enhance music? No. Would I wanna trash a hotel room with them? Hell yeah!!

 

Don't like bling?...but its shiny!

 

Selling out? The music industry is a business.
