Are they Gonna bring it back?
As everybody knows I love music, lately however I am not intrigued or turned on or excited about most of the music that is being produced. I though about why and i think i came to the crux of the matter, the reason why i think most music is crap is becuase most music is beta ( Beta Male: An unremarkable, careful man who avoids risk and confrontation. Beta males lack the physical presence, charisma and confidence of the Alpha male- Urban Dictionary) ...beta in the sense that there is no aggression, no form of rebellion, everybody is just trying to be as nice as possible and as safe as possible...nobody is pushing the boundaries and making dangerous music. Dangerous music is like Peter Tosh, like Bob Marley-i feel like bombing a church-Sizzla in the early days-Capleton when him did a bun di fyah hard...nahmean? Its like nobody is doing that, the music that stirs your blood, the shit that you feel in your heart...I mean there are a lot of persons making beautiful and pretty sounds but i am not interested in that, i need soulful shit..some passionate shit...some let's start a riot shit...i cant deal with the one bag a, "oh girl i love you, if you leave i'm gonna die", or the oh "i have money, let me floss" shit...dem sey its a recession a lot of people can't identify with that sentiment...we need music for the people, that reflects what is going on...
Dancehall and rap a just disappoint me right about now...
What would Malcolm X listen to if he was alive today?
PS. I'm not saying that someone should promote violence, don't let me be misunderstood, I'm advocating for more authentic music, respect your audience, give us something real...
