This subject hits home for me because I am an 80's baby. I grew up listening to all kinds of music ranging from R&B, Rock, Hip Hop, and  Da Blues. I've witnessed music revolutionized over time, as it should. But there has been a paradigm shift in music that has created a sense of abandonment. The true hip hop fans are not being fed the rhythm, the lyrics, and beats that move there soul and create a thought process.  I feel as if I have nowhere to go. Hip hop (and R&B) are now...dumb.



I caught the BET Hip Hop awards last night. The energy and the creativity was absent on stage. The theme of almost every song was "look at my things". I only appreciated the seasoned hip hop artist who came on stage such as Goodie MOB and Ludacris. I at first, attributed my dislikes to the fact that I just turned 30 and this was the side effect.



But, I couldn't just dismiss it to that...I knew better. I did some research and found this video of a former BET producer stating that BET hand picks what music to expose and brainwash the masses. I know I sound like a conspiracist but oddly enough it aligns with what I witness on a daily basis listening to the radio. This is a big problem....protect your children from this activity if you can.
