T-Pain and Akon

Singers/rappers nowadays kinda suck, no offense. Back in the day, there were more talented people but it seems like they're all dead or something. Take Tupac for example, only rap I would ever listen to because it's not about some bs like tapping some girl's ***.

This is why I stick to trance.

There are definitely talented hip-hop artists out there, just not quite active(or popular) in the mainstream scene. I'm pretty sure the people are hungry for quality music but they never quite reach the masses. Why? Major record label are quite skeptical to invest and somewhat gamble with a "lyrically conscious" artist when they can just push another "snap yo fangas!1!" artist out to MTV that is guaranteed to bring in millions. :/

That's true. *Sigh* What on earth happened to the music industry?! When I see singers performing live, they can't even sing. It doesn't even sound like them. Which reminds me of Flo Rida or whatever the hell his name is. He was mumbling the entire time, LOL.

I agree but I see akon as not being like that. Rap is slowly dying weather people want to believe it or not. I see him changing with he times. His album freedom is on the top of my list even with over 200 cd's. T-pain still needs to chill a bit but still when doing songs with Jessie Mcartney and all he will get there. I agree that rap is junk MOST OF IT. I love quality music from Santana, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Journey, Eagles and so on but I have a huge open mind when it comes to music.
