A normal night with THE FAKULTE and we are deep…. My neighbor decided to stop by and join in on the celebrating of Uncle J’s Bday. While we are in cypher circle a interesting subject about music come up. The debate was about good music…… What makes a song good. As a new generation rapidly grows and time moves on from what music use to be. It is obvious that the meaning of good music has changed right along with the times. As my younger neighbor stood in my kitchen trying to defend a song and a artist against being good and creative. There was a team of old heads ripping him apart. The argument “a song is good if it sells mass units and captures a lot of attention” .
As I sat there and watch my poor neighbor try hard to defend his point. I fell to the background smiling thinking about how I can write about this… Its probably the biggest controversy in the industry today. While the rest of my counter parts argue about the numbers, and the simple lyrics that are used today…. All I could think about was the respect for the art.
My neighbor argued the point of Soulja Boy being creativity or a fad for hours.
The youngster proceed on to dis some of the pioneers of hip hop and music….. Big no no.
By the end of the night the subject had to be dropped everybody was to passionate about how they felt. A simple debate would have gotten ugly.
It’s a shame where music has gotten to. There use to be a respect for the music, the artist, and the art. Now its painfully obvious that its more about money, and a fad then respecting the art of making and creating music.
“Music is as important as water. We need it to survive.”

What happen to more people feeling like that? If you take the time to do a lil research you will see music is everything and deserves the up most respect… Good music has faded to the background and its up to us to bring it back into the light….We have to show the real meaning and purpose of good music.
