I was at a friends house playing some tracks on shuffle on his iTunes and came across this song: "Cause The Beat Hot" (download the instrumental here)
Now is this a musical genius or just plain coonery? Sure the beat is simple and the most work, I think, was put into this was chopping up the "meow" mix. Today it seem like you can make music, if you want to call it that, from just about anything! the art and creativity of making something has been lost with the thought of making a quick buck.
Then later in that day I saw THIS by Lil' B (if you don't know who he is he's from Souljaboy's camp):
Today, I don't think anyone truly knows what music was meant for? It had a message, a meaning, a purpose! I ask you, artists and producers, what does our music mean today? what is our music saying right now about our time? And most importantly when did music, let alone hip-hop, stop saying something MEANINGFUL?
