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

[Canada Goose]

Old ass Coli nikkas























I was just listening to this shyt

I Love this Jadakiss song


I first discovered this song on Youtube in the late 2000s during my High School years even though it was "old" song by that time.


So many quotables

because music sucks these days. the 2010s and 2020s are arguably the worse era in music. just microwave music

if you say that and you'll get accused of being nostalgic.

it's usually said that people stop looking or listening to new music when they hit their late 20s. but when I was young, alot of my older cousins who were in there late 20s and early 30s were still buying music that were new in the early 2000s and late 90s

Unless you're a total hip-hop fiend, there's plenty of old music that hasn't been listened. Enough to keep us occupied for a while.

Just like the movie industry. I don't care if it came out 20 years ago. It's new to me if I haven't watched it.

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









Some damn good night driving music.

Copped Al Green, Teddy Pendergrass and Marvin Gaye's greatest hits albums last week shyt is pure

I'm trying to find an unsealed original All Eyez On Me and Illmatic album

a lot of new music even from artists I like has less replay value to me than it did 10 years ago+

Found this interesting

"In fact, nothing is less interesting to music executives than a completely radical new kind of music. Who can blame them for feeling this way? The radio stations will play only songs that fit the dominant formulas, which haven’t changed much in decades. The algorithms curating so much of our new music are even worse. Music algorithms are designed to be feedback loops, ensuring that the promoted new songs are virtually identical to your favorite old songs. Anything that genuinely breaks the mold is excluded from consideration almost as a rule. That’s actually how the current system has been designed to work.

Even the music genres famous for shaking up the world—rock or jazz or hip-hop—face this same deadening industry mindset. I love jazz, but many of the radio stations focused on that genre play songs that sound almost the same as what they featured 10 or 20 years ago. In many instances, they actually are the same songs'.

The problem isn’t a lack of good new music. It’s an institutional failure to discover and nurture it."

Sounds like it's not just about new music being bad. It has to sound like some old shyt to have a shot. Not good. That's why Anderson Paak and the Karaoke singer put out that bullshyt

I think this is the answer honestly. Listen to the radio, and any of the music that gets major burn sounds like some bullshyt straight out of the early 2000's. I started thinking the same a few months ago once I noticed that Wockesha remix was getting more play than the original version, even though the og is superior (Ashanti sounds terrible and it doesn't feel cohesive, just like a shytty old remix that got by on star power rather than quality).

Radio is ran by old heads who refuse to look past 2006 and give new shyt a shot.

standing the test of time doesn’t sound to me

 

[Ghost Utmost]

I'm glad.

I have been saying this "music" is garbage for nigh on 20 years now.

New music that is.

Good to see the numbers that prove it

yeah there usually one or two albums a year that are like that for me, but there used to be like 10+ a year that I would play the shyt out of for more than a month.

So many quotables

I'm like the Dow Jones of rap, My stocks is high

And it never was all Love, so stop the lies

Muthafukkas will blow your brains out and watch you bleed

The same nikka that you trust, let him watch your seed

That Silk Sonic is genius.

Nobody has yet to truly master the old sound being current and turn it into pop music, before this. That is real singing, real chords being played, real bass, harmonies, no necessary auto tune
