Hey Guys,
Finally...finally done with this semester (notice I was writing over two weeks ). I broke my phone, so no Instagram for a little bit. Happy New Years! Comment below if you have a New Years Resolution! Anyways, been listening to a lot of west coast R&B or some call it Alternative R&B, and yes, this is actually a genre thanks to Frank Ocean. Also, I have been listening to Hip Hop (Rapper have no talent?...You mean today's Mainstream Rappers right) and K-pop (everyone leaving their labels), yet everyone seriously "hate it" or "it's overrated" by using fallacious rhetoric to make a point. Most rap lyrics have hidden meaning or metaphors but Hip Hop culture is like onion, it has layers. Hip hop culture hasn't really evolved simply because Diddy, bringing in that "Bling Bling" era in late 90s. I was listening to a song from a notable rapper collab about "Shaking your ass" and then I went to another song of the same artist and went to read the comments for example something like this," Rappers today only talk about "this and that this" (stereotypical) he/she raps doesn't do that, she/his real." Aah, that's the internet for you. And yeah there are Hip Hop songs (like nursery rhythm) that are lyrically not appealing but the beat just makes you want to get up and dance without a care in the world these days and it's funny when that songs ends up being number one on a chart, I guess that's why so many people are up in arms.
