90s music

All right,I know I lied and said I will be updating every week.I've been busy living my life and finding new ways to piss of my classmates.Anyway I wanted to talk about the state of the music industry.We have the most untalented singers out right now.I mean people like T-pain are selling millions of records while real singers Like Res,can't even get a record deal.We have no type of originality in the music game.Every time I turn on the radio it's the same song playing but with a new beat & rapper.And it's not just the rap game,I mean R&B is now about singing about your wip,coochie & money.I mean don't even get me started with the Rock,punk,alternative,folk,Trip-Hop scenes.Is this what the 90s made waved for? A new millennium of suck ass songs & loss of freedom of speech? What happened to music that made you think,music you cruise in your wip too,and most of all what happened to Hip-Hop!? The 90s was the shit plain & simple.As a generation Y baby maybe I'm a little bias,but you have to agree music & creativity flowed back then.The Grunge scene was taking off,the new jack swing era was killing the charts & Hip-hop wasn't on life support.The 90s is to generation Y what the hippie era was to your folks.I mean we had evry type of music & artist coming out.Mind you we still had songs about hoes and shooting baby mama's,but it was just the shit!I can't put into words how much I loved music back then.I mean now if somebody hear you listing to Fall Out Boy they call you emo.I'm not gonna sit here and say that we don't have SOME hot artist still holding down the music game.But them doing by them selves aren't enough.Us as music listener's need to support REAL MUSIC & ARTIST.If you like T-pain good for you,I for one can't stand the boi.What is he a remix slut? Every remix I hear he's "singing" on.I mean do say "Man, that loving in the tub song was hot.Lets throw T-pain on the remix & make it even hotter" I know I'm sounding like a cry baby but is it to hard to ask for singers to actually sing when they perform live? They sing two lines,dance & speak the rest of the song.I want the days of Nirvana,Camp Lo,Total,Monifah,Garbage,Splendora to come back.Talib,Common,Mos def & a few others are trying to keep Hip-Hop alive but "rappers" like Webbie & Cam'Ron are trying to take it off of life support.Speaking of Cam'ron aka Pinky,what's up with his raps? He be rapping on peoples songs talking about some other shit.They be talking about getting money & fucking,he be saying shit like I got four pairs of pink Manolos bout to watch Sex and the City." What the fuck does that have to do with the crack game and growing up in the hood? Long story short most of the songs coming out are fucking corny.I can't think of one hot song from 2000 till now that I can cruise through North Philly listening too with the windows down & system banging on a Saturday night. The hottest and most under rated song to come out of the 90s & good to cruise to (if I wasn't a pussy to get my drivers licence)is Camp Lo's Coolie High.These boi's had the slick rhymes,ill ass jazz beats & a swagger to make people shit bricks.The ultimate cruise song ever.I've changed my page song from Me'Shell Ndegéocello's Afterglow and put own Camp Lo's Coolie High Instrumental (ya'll not ready for the real song yet)enjoy bitches!
