Everybody trying to be a Rapper/Producer these days…honestly, its quite pathetic.

I don’t know what motivates them; the get rich quick scheme, famous rappers and producers, lack of an education, myspace who knows. I do know that I’ve listened to my fair share of said rappers and producers and I will have to say that most of them were in fact garbage. Those who breathe, eat, sleep myspace track plays are the ones I’m talking about. Day in and day out there is someone asking me to listen to their music and when I do, I’m always let down. They give me this impression that its something that I “never heard before” when that’s not the case.

What it all dwindles down to is their lyrics and instrumentals sound a like. The lyrics in ones songs is about drugs, money, females, and violence. If I need that in my life, I would download every last piece of shit of music Gucci Mane, Lil’ Wayne and Plies has ever made. I look at these producers when they’re trying to make a buck for their music and its obvious they’re not getting far because its so many of them. If anything they’re not getting rich quick, they’re getting poor quicker. Getting rich by finding the easy way to make money doesn’t work for everyone. When I say everyone, I mean half if not more of Myspace.

I’ve conversed with a lot of these rappers and producers and they sound like they never picked up a book or even stepped inside of a school. They have this “thug” mentality and its astounding how stupid they are. Most sound paranoid as if someone is always out to get them or steal their music. I ask them do they have it patented and they say they don’t know what that mean.  I try talking to them on an adult level and they can’t even keep a conversation going without begging me to listen to their latest beat/track. I try giving them constructive criticism and they act like I just shot them in the ass or slap the crap out of their mother.

How can you be a rapper or a producer if you’re dumb as a brick wall and have the mentality of someone below a 1st grader? How can you be a “lyrical genius” if you’re stupid as hell? What example are you setting for children of the future with lyrics about “bitches and ho’s”? That’s why I find most of you music producers and rappers pathetic. You’re trying to follow in your role-model‘s footsteps and get rich like them but you haven’t gotten far and you probably won’t. That “if Gucci Mane can do it, I can too” shit shouldn’t apply to you. Its other ways to shine and being a statistic shouldn’t be one of them.

I would list the ones that people should spare their ear-drums and sanity from but I’ll be here all night. I might come back and list them anyway if I don’t have anything else to do later on.

    No,no, there’s still good CONTEMPORARY hip hop. Like I said it’s merely cowering under a rock. The hunt for good hip hop won’t require a time machine, just a shovel and a wee bit of patience. :)
