Its 6:30am on a Saturday morning and as per my usual Saturday morning ritual i have Rage flashing the usual barrage of pop tunes across my 42" plasma tv. Now, normally i dont really care whats on it because its just on for a bit of background noise. Its also better than anything else that's on at this hour. This morning i decided to watch it for half an hour or so and i'm left wondering....what has happened to the state of music these days?!
In one track i have some overweight 'rapper' (and i use the term loosely) pulling funny faces as he sings (yet again, used loosely) to some dodgy, vampire inspired filmclip. For those of you playing at home, you'll know that i'm talking about Timbaland's new joint. It is utter crap!
After this is a UK RnB artist by the name of Jay Sean. Now, i'll be the first to admit i dont mind a bit of RnB, but his inclusion of some Lil Wayne 'rapper' (loosely used again) got me really thinking about music these days. Now, Jay Sean can sing, but this Lil Wayne makes me want to lash out and stab someone. Putting on a baby's voice doesn't appeal to me at all. Yo, open your mouth when you rap....its really not that hard!! Just a side note, wearing a red shirt that says 'Communist' on it, doesn't make you cool either
Ah shit.....Lil Wayne's in the next film clip. Thank you Shakira for employing this useless piece of the music industry to be in your filmclip
