A win for flabby set: Old music represent 70% of U.S music market

I was just listening to "Sweet Sticky Thing" by the Ohio Players.

Music that comes out today literally phased out. Honestly that what hip hop became starting in 2006 or so. None of the music they came out that year or after are music I actually remember too well.

Anything before always gets replays

We live in the fast food era of music

PASSION: Musicians used to put a lot of effort in their music. They would take their time to create the theme, the melody, lyrical content. To make something stand out, musicians wouldn't rush or hesitate to drop material. This changed once Social media and Mobile technology become assessable.

MOTIVATION: Musicians would base key events from either lives and put in on wax. Example:


The Flash gave us a glimpse of the raw realities of 1980's South Bronx and 80's NYC in general. Before Giuliani cleaned it up.

PRODUCTION: This can be debatable. Sampling brought the soulful elements of a record. Sampling is the musical collage that producers chop up to turn into a audio masterpiece. A lot of Early Hip Hop is owned to the sampling of Funk, R&B, Rock & Roll, International sounds. Sampling introduced listeners to sounds they've never would discovered

Algorithms have killed creativity plus with todays technology and production talent isn’t as requisite to make it big in music. Back then an artist had to know how to sing, play instruments, be a showman and know how to perform.

For those last two points I’ll say it again the drill music coming out NY is some of the most hip hop shyt out for the fact that for better or worse it’s motivated by real life events shyt that could sociologically be studied and is raw and authentic and lastly they sample. It’s none of these computer generated minimalist trap beats but actually sampling of all types of music R&B, Jersey club, dancehall, Afrobeats, and past rap records that too sampled funk, rock and roll, jazz. Then lastly there’s a huge dance/b-boy element to it.

This is also why 1980s Jpop (Citypop) is popular. That music slaps:

Most of the new music doesn’t have replay value like older music.
