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

[315]

and any of the music that gets major burn sounds like some bullshyt straight out of the early 2000's

The irony is that at one point that music considered was new and radical

 

[315]

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

Black Americans used to reinvent ourselves musically every decade. I personally don't want to hear new 50 year old music

That's because old head listening habits are actually accounted for in the streaming era. Back in the day all those repeat spins of old cassettes and CDs from old heads didn't count as plays and now they do.

Because today's music is trash. I hear as much music from the 90s as I did in 1997.

Cause most older music relates and points to pivotal times in history. The music now doesn’t connect so much.

A lot of R&B artist are doing their thing tho. (Lucky Daye, Alex Isley, Vanjess, Nao, Gallant, Snoh Shantel Mays, etc)

 

[Easy-E]

What's funny, I was talking to my 13 year old cousin and son straight up told me he likes old music more than new shyt

This thread did not go the way I expected it to. I remember a point on The Coli that “young” nikkas would neg and everything else if you said the new music was trash. I guess it’s simply undeniable at this point

 

[Wild self]

Cause new music is rushed like mixtapes, with no repeatability. I blame Lil Wayne and Gucci Mane for that paradigm.

Now a 5 Mic album is unheard of.

Even these producers are extra lazy nowadays.

That’s how I’ve been for 10 years

This is the answer. Music should reflect the times.

Which is exactly what todays music reflects… Ignorance

"They" should have never killed off my nikka Mike Jack. We would have had classics and collabs to last us another 50 years.

But it's not.

Musically it is old, but the lyrics are modern and witty.

That's the difference between just trying replicate old music.
