Joanna Newsom, Beirut, Grizzly Bear,Common

I went from just listening to Marvin Gaye, Patti Labelle, Stevie Wonder, Earth Wiind Biggie, Aaliyah, Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill, Common, Bilal to Coldplay, Fiona Apple, Radiohead, Beirut, Joanna Newsom, David Bowie, The Police, Smog, The Octopus Project, The Bees,Grizzly Bear, The National...broaden your horizons there more out there....Nas said Hip-Hop is dead but Common just put out a good album Talibs is on the way and it a Masterpiece of an album. K-os three album were all great efferts...see what's out there.

I was bred on Soul/Real R&B music and couldn't grasp the whole concept of Rock when I first heard the genre of music thinking that it didn't deal with any thing I as a black women could relate to but I heard Coldplay's troube and yellow and fully took in the soul of the music (it was a simple concepts of love, regret and apologizing to someone you love) . I even started to call any thing that could move me spirtually soul music. Now I understand that there is another definition of soul music which James Brown, Issac H.,Aretha Franklin, Patti Labelle and newer artist such as Erykah Badu, Bilal, Lauryn, Musiq fall into but I'm talking about music that moves you deeply. There are Hip-Hop artist out there that don't talk about hoes, money, and fast cars matter a fact those who do fall in the category of rap not Hop-Hop. Real Hip-hop is something that the people can feel. Common is a artist (part of my user name) is artist who yes he gears his music to a certain audience because he feels this audience (black people) are in need of music that up lifts their culture not tear it down by as someone said here earlier talking only about hoes and money but about social injustice, gaining understand of self, gaing understanding understanding about love, and gaining understanding about God. Please don't taint my peoples form of expression with lies. I ask you people who say you dispuise Hip-Hop to reconsider what you are saying and broaden your horizons on the whole concept of Hop-Hop. Try K-os if your a little weary on what appears to be the same. You be surprise how much Rock and Hip-Hop are so much alike and K-os is an artist who bridges those gaps. Quotes Common from the song Geto Heaven: The blunted eyes of the youth search for a guide A thug is a lost man in disguise The rise and fall, of a nation, even when the buildings tumble I still stand tall, I walk through the valley, wit a life preserver Feelin at times, that I might just murder Yo but that aint what I was sent for I want folks to say his life it meant more Than ?any ca, any ba ca? any broad He found Geto Heaven in himself and God more from that song: Strong woman, why should you depend on a man I understand you want a man that's resourceful If he pay your bills, he feel like he bought you Talkin to a friend, about what love is Her man didn't love her, cuz he didn't love his Hugged her from afar, said what I felt You never find a man, till you find yourself Time helps mistakes, you can learn from Cuz one man fucked up men you shouldn't turn from You want a certain type of guy, gotta reach a certain point too At the destination, a king will annoint you Goin through the storm, many bodies stay warm That relationship died, for you to be born, you worth more Than anything you could cop in a store For you to grow he had to go so what you stoppin him for Not even I could ignore bein alone it's hard Find heaven in yourself and God My message here is to up lift people don't tear them down because they have been torn down enough. Peace

I used to say that Chris singing reminded me of Thom's then I became a serious Coldplay fan and thought what the hell was I thinking but I was listening to The Bends and thought wow um.......yeah I see why I've thought that about him but it's not neccessarily his voice anymore it's just the way Radiohead use to play. I wonder who has done the most changing in the past years. Do I have to wonder?......
