You've got some valid points, music is meant to stimulate the young and move them, I also find that music I was passionate about when I was young has lost alot of its glitter, but I still like rock and the like. I also like Jazz, and Sinatra, when I was young I didnt as much. I know you must know that although 50 cent might write his own songs (Wow we'll be hearing them being taught to our kids in school in the future in their music classes!!) they are not in the same league regardless. Not even close. The Romones might play a few chords and it didn't requre much talent...but not everybody in rock did the same thing and sounded alike. (I did not care for them much anyway). There was variety in the genre of rock, If there wasn't it would be disgusting. Rap to me sounds pretty much the same (I know there are some differences ect). I mean look at the patented posing and hand jestures.....what is that...EVERYBODY does the same thing!!! Come on now!!! Thats what I'm talking about. Live rap is terrible. Alot of people I talk to (young people) agree on this, when a rapper performs live you will see the real natural talent they posses, the same goes for rock. rap can only go so far in the state its in...it will have to reinvent itself. Once that happens some other genre will move in. I'm supprised it's lasted so long. Music is music, if its good it will last forever. Good songs that are good now will be apprciated long after the genre is past its glory. I just dont think the catalog list of good rap songs will be that long.
