What is good music? I went last year to a concert to the roots picnic and there was this rapper and his dj. I didn't understand anything he said, but that was the interesting part. I could not hear anything , he sounded a someone on a bunch drugs. I further looked into him and found him very intriguing. His music was not the same as traditional rappers I have heard. The music to me was consider good music. It became pleasing to my ear when rhymed. What gives people the right to preach what is good music and what is down right horrible? I understand that the times are different. People must allow themselves to be open minded and understand social changes. I am very open minded to music, culture, religion anything. I enjoy listening to "oldies" too. Hearing Sinatra makes me want to be in that time period. Bob Dylan's "The Times Are Changing" is one pleasing soulful song.
Here is that link for the Busdriver rapper I was talking about if anyone is interested in it.

Joselito, thats whats is so great about music. People have their own views on topics and put it into their music. A person might not understand what an artist is saying until you listen a couple times on what their saying and read the lyrics and then you might apperciate their music. In our society today people say whatever they want in their music. I like it because you then know where artist are coming from.
ReplyDeleteI will have to agree with you Joselito about being opened minded when listening to music. There was some songs my friends would listen to and i would have no idea what they are about or the meaning to them.But after listening to them you get a better understanding of what they mean and the meaning behind the song. with the world we live in, music is the only way to express yourself and no one can hold you back.
ReplyDeleteGood music is whatever anyone wants it to be. Everyone who is a musician is an artist in their own way. I can listen to just about anything but Rap. I can not understand what the rapper is saying. The only words I can make out are "Gangsta", and "Machine Guns." In my opinion, I think that bands that originated out of England are the best like The Beatles and Led Zeppelin.
ReplyDeleteI love all different genres of music. I really appreciate the oldies. The mood I am in and the activity I am participating in affect my choice of music to play. This is one reason I love Ipods; I can make playlists for different emotions and events. The Roots are awesome and their Picnic really offers a diverse group of artists to the listeners.
ReplyDeleteEverybody has their own opinion about music and that’s what is great about it. I’ll listen to almost anything that I can dance to. I like music that is upbeat and puts me in a good mood. Another thing I like about music is that some songs can be attached to a good memory of when I was younger. Whenever I hear a song from Billy Joel’s “Innocent Man” I feel like I’m eight years old listening to the record in my best friend’s living room.
