Where Is The Music Industry Heading

It's obvious that within the past few decades the music industry has changed tremendously. Mostly in my opinion for the bad. This goes specifically for the Hip Hop community or should i say Hip Pop. It seems as though there is a lack of creativity and enthusiasm that are put into the hit songs that we hear on the radio. Fans and listeners will easily go out and buy an album or song and support it just because of the Artist who sings it. The artist themselves know this and seem to just release junk and know that it will sell. This is the case with most of Nicki Minaj's work and some of Rihanna. It hurts to watch hip hop take a turn for the worst as it has. I think if 2pac were still around most of these clowns would not be in the spotlight that they are in. Pac would have called them out and shut them down. He would not be caught working with Justin Beiber because he was true to the game and wouldn't sell out for the money. There isn't much room these days for new talent to emerge when every song out has either Drake, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj or Rihanna on it. Its becoming a monopoly in a way.

I listen to the songs today and think "will these ever be considered a classic?" And I find myself laughing at the answer "definitely not". I don't think that "Who booty is it" will ever go down in history as a classic piece of musical literature. Why is every song a party and about degrading women and big butts? Why isn't there any serious songs anymore. Pac and Biggie made some serious songs and intellectual songs to make you think. Like "Change" "Dear Mama" "Everyday Struggle" "Brenda's got a baby" and the list goes on and on. These songs made it to the radio even though they were not party songs. Its sad to say this but this is because as black people we have not grown as a race. We like and promote ignorant and dumb shit. When something makes sense or speaks the truth its considered whack or uncool. Shit even Jay-Z seemed to change his style conforming to this new era i like to call Hip Pop. I hope to hear some new talent in the music industry soon that actually takes passion in their music. I also hope that us black people grow to show the rest of the world that we are more than just pimps, players and wanna be thugs. Its almost 2013 and we have a black president now. All I can say is that our black heroes in the past are probably rolling in their graves.
