Who Says Music Isn't Art... Isn't That What It Is...?

No homo for the post...

The other day I was listening to the radio (for the first time in I would truthfully say a year), and they said that Soulja Boy's "Birdwalk" was the number one song for the week or something to that matter... After listening to that song, and realizing that somehow people are in love with this guy, I said to myself (out loud with me being the only one in the car at the time I may add), "What the HELL, is wrong with music right now?" I'm shocked for one, that this guy even got somebody to LISTEN to his music, let alone buy his cd/ringtone/single/etc.

True music, in my mind, is art. Something that makes you think, makes you calm, makes you revelate to yourself. Lately I've been feeling a lot of old-school music (Common, Mos Def, Doug E. Fresh, Public Enemy, De La Soul) a bunch of Kid CuDi, Drake, Wayne (I would classify him better than Soulja Gay... I mean Boy), Eminem. Just an example, is KanYe's new video he has out from, "808's & Heartbreak" called, "Welcome To Heartbreak". I'll let you be the judge... If your mind can handle it...
