Oh the good ole days of Hip Hop (No this isn't a ran or bashing) Everyone has those nestalgic moments. Where they quote Rakim, Big or some other classic by which we guage what music should sound like. The question is what makes our ears the personal real hip hop level. We just go with what sounds good with a mixture of peer pressure. If a few view an artist as garbage our mindsets automatically change to have a distaste for that artist. We all have been a part of this situation.
Yet we then turn around and criticizes the whole "hip hop game." We get mad at the total lack of new artist being around and improving the overall "quality" of music. We as bloggers and listeners wont listen. We only put out whats going to either become commercial or underground success. What about those who need growth and guidance? What do we say about those...nothing, they get the silence. There are so many untapped listeners and artists that we are constantly shutting out of all facets of music. We say we want better, we want substance. Shunning stuff others deem bad.
So to listen or not to listen...that is the question...
