| Re: Rap Sales Plummet
My point is probably not too valid, since I'm not a real fan of hip hop/rap/garage anything of that ilk.
I would concur with Erin that I do like quite a bit of Eminem's stuff, not so much because of the relative lack of just telling us how he has a gun and he's going to shoot some pimp or whatever, but more because of his diction and execution. I can just hear what he is saying, which makes a huge difference to any sort of music for me.
Maybe a lot of the other rappers have valid points to make about their lives, or life in general, but unless they can put them clearly and in a way in which the "average" person can actually comprehend what the hell they are talking about then how do they expect to get their message over?
Maybe it's just a thing where they are just talking about what Erin said, how would I know, I can't understand anything except the last word of every sentence!!
I appreciate though, that I'm not exactly their target audience!! |
