MUSICAL RAGE!

I SOMETIMES WONDER IF ITS JUST ME THAT GETS FRUSTRATED WITH THE CONSTANT NONSENSE ROTATING ON THESE RADIO STATIONS, CLUBS, ETC. ITS OKAY TO PARTY I GUESS, BUT IT HAS GOTTON TO WHERE THERE IS NO MORE ROOM FOR TALENT IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY ANYMORE. THE SONGS REQUIRE NO.. I MEAN NO! EFFORT, JUST A CATCHY SAYING AND A HOT BEAT AND THERE IT IS....IT'S PLATINUM. WHEN REAL ARTIST ARE TOLD THEY ARE OVER-SINGING AND ARE DUMBED DOWN TO INDUSTRY STANDARDS. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS ALWAYS IRRITATED ME. FOR EXAMPLE, IMAGINE IF WHITNEY HOUSTON, AL GREEN, ARETHA FRANKLIN AND LUTHER VANDROSS WERE BORN TODAY.... WHAT WOULD THEY SING? HOWEVER, ON THE FLIP SIDE IMAGINE IF JOHN LEGEND, JENNIFER JUDSON, JASMINE SULLIIVAN AND FANTASIA WERE BORN BACK IN THE DAY. THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN WAYYYY MORE SUCCESSFUL. AND LOOK AT HOW THEY ARE STRUGGLING TO STAY ON TOP, IF THAT. THEIR RECORD SALES DONT COMPARE TO BEYONCE AND CIARA @ ALL.


NONETHELESS... ANYONE THAT KNOWS ME, KNOWS I HAVE AN OLD SOUL..LOL (THATS Y I HAVE THE OL'SKOOL SHOW ON 90.5 CANT GET JIGGY WITH THIS BUBBLEGUM POP ISH...LOL )IVE GATHERED A FEW CLIPS OF MY FAVORITE ARTIST I WANT YOU TO CHECK OUT AND PLEASE TELL ME THIS ISNT TALENT.... RIGHT, CUZ ITD BE A LIE

P.S FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS I HAVE ABSOLUTELY HATED THE HOMECOMING CONCERT WITH ALL MY HEART... WELL THE MY FIRST 2 YEARS, I DIDNT GO THIS YEAR CUZ I KNEW IT WOULD BE THE SAME THING. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A CONCERT THAT CATERED TO A BROADER AUDIENCE AND NOT JUST THE T.I FANS, GUCCI, LIL WAYNE AND WHOEVER ELSE... THERE IS TALENT THAT COST JUST AS MUCH OR ONLY A FRACTION OF WHAT THEY COST LIKE JASMINE SULLIVAN, JOHN LEGEND, DRAKE, LUDACRIS, ANDRE 3000, ETC. I KNOW THE WORRY, IS APPEALING TO THE YOUNGER CROWD BUT I PROMISE YOU THERE IS JUST AS MANY STUDENTS THAT DONT CARE FOR THE SAME OL HIP ARTIST AS THOSE THAT DO LIKE THEM.. OR.. EVEN HAVE 1 OR 2 BUT PLEASEEEEE!! ADD SOME DIVERSITY.


THE ROTATIONS ON THE RADIO STATIONS DIRECTLY CORRELATE WITH WHAT IS CONSIDERED "POPULAR OR IN"

  1. I will have to agree with your choices in music, but I truly do believe Gucci Mane La Flare is an awesome example of classical music prowess. His talent and extensive musical training shows in every brick, trap, and party he speaks of. I do believe you should chack him out, Mr. McCaskill.
