I decided to comment on Denrick’s post on his song that we
listened to last class. This is the type of hip-hop that needs to be emphasized
if we are ever going to have a chance at getting the genre back to where it
needs to be. Our blog largely deals with comparing all the different genres of
hip-hop to mainstream, and seeing how the influence and development changed
overtime and whether or not it is for the better or worse. Songs like this just
prove why we have absolutely no idea what we’re doing anymore, and we seemed to
have confused catchy dance music with hip-hop in our mainstream.
I visited this blog a month back when we were doing our
research and it had a lot to do with what I was going to talk about in my
essay. I compare underground music to mainstream and argue how underground
music, despite generating substantially less profit, is ultimately more
influential and meaningful if people would simply listen to it rather than
mainstream rap. The author includes a list to several tracks of the artist “RA
the Rugged Man” which are incredible songs, but most people can’t seem to find
anymore.
