Sometimes people bug me. Have you ever had a conversation about music with someone who simply has no idea what they're talking about? So fucking annoying. Im not saying that just because someone has different musical taste than me, they annoy me... that would be ridiculous. What I'm talking about is when someone who has never given any real attention to certain genres of music tries to act like they know what they're talking about, often discounting the genre as "not real music". For me, this conversation seems to always be about Hip Hop, debatably my favorite genre of music. Im not talking about mainstream, popular, excuse my french, but, bullshit version of hip hop. The genre has a real history, and goes much deeper than the sad representation that plays on the radio. When people who don't listen to, or for that matter, study the genre beyond that which they hear on the radio or see on mtv (in my opinion the most ridiculous television station around), try to act like they know what hip hop is all about, and that it's the same, "idiots talking about money, babes, and guns, with no skill", thats what ticks me off. I urge all of you "haters" out there to look a little deeper before opening your mouth and making yourself seem like a musical ignoramus, stereotyping artwork based on the needle-point tip of a monstrous iceberg. A musical Bigot. Open your ears a little. you don't have to change your opinions, thats not fair to ask, but please, i repeat, P L E A S E back up your opinion based off real musical research, otherwise your opinion is, to tell the truth, a quite-offensive "non-opinion".
Here's some food for thought:
