But this is how modern music was created, in a sense. Have you ever looked at early blues lyrics?
Perfunctory arguments against hip hop are very typical, i guess that's why the community isn't in aw of your "enlightened" opinions.
I enjoy my music to have real life connotations; while lyrics about drug use or struggles living within confines of society (as cliche as it sounds), when portrayed right, delivers an emotional resonance that I don't
feel from other genres, as distinctly.
Why do you harbor such a grudge against hip hop? I don't like mainstream airwaves either, but you will never see me dismiss rock, country, etc based on on their mainstream counterparts.
