I Used To Listen To Hip-Hop, But Then I Took A Dub To My Step

MORE MUSIC TALK!! I feel like this is a big topic on Blogs of any sort. Music. What made music cool? How was the concept of lyrics, rhythm and dynamics put together? Does anybody even take the time to ask these questions anymore? It seems like music is no different from food. There are different kinds, everyone has their favourites, and some people are allergic to country like they are allergic to peanuts :P Obviously there are foods/music that are more popular than others. Pop/Hip-Hop has turned into the bacon of the music industry. Dubstep is slowly evolving into the Cheeseburger of society. Food and Music are based on preference. The difference is, you don't have to like certain foods in order to fit into the community. Music comes with a high sense of judgement depending on what everyone is listening to. Music, Food, Clothes, society bases its products on preference...

Thats it for todays class!!

IMC@SLC and Female Exploitation

So I'm just about to finish my second week of IMC@SLC, and I couldn't be happier. This class feels so right with what I want to do for a living, and the teachers are great. I can't wait to get for the real stuff to begin :)

 Well thats enough of that. What should I talk about? How about women and how mistreated they are by society? I mean, there are websites and movies and so many things dedicated to exploiting women sexually, it disgusts me. A lot of people don't realize, but there are so many sex trafficking operations in the world.

  Theres also no thanks to the music industry. Music videos that exploit women plant images into teenagers mind and make them think thats what women are for. My words aren't making much sense to me, so I'm going to post a link to a song that describes what I'm talking about.

Is Top Selling Music actually "good music"?

This is my second article in my new blog...still have no idea what to write about...lets talk about my music preference...but first lets talk about what a lot of our generation likes as music. A lot of what is considered hip hop nowadays consists of siren introductions and "wub wub" sounds. The lyrics in most of todays music consists of alcohol, drugs, money, and making love in this club. This upsets me. songs use to tell stories, and have meaning...but this stuff thats played on the radio, they all seem to be the same song.

 As a christian, i can't listen to this music and enjoy it. The music i listen to may be about the same thing, God, but at least its a good topic, and nothing that encourages the use of drugs or alcohol, or worshipping of money and sex. I don't know, i just feel better listening to the less mainstream music of today. Thats all

First Blog

Im kind of new to this whole Blog thing. I mean, i have tumblr, but I'm not sure that counts...i don't even use it anyways...so what does one blog about when its his first time? how about the fact that the only reason i have this blog is because my teacher made the class so it? I mean, I'm all for it, I'm not complaining, i just don't know what were supposed to do with it :/
