Here is a throwback laugh from the show America's Funniest People.

Mass Consumption Of Music

Is it true of the old saying too much is never enough? Well in the music business there is. You see when a particular genre of music gets hot then the record labels and media outlets force feeds it down your throat til the point that you are regurgitating lyrics left and right. Any form of business is motivated by the almighty dollar and the best way to maximize your bottom line is to overkill a certain thing. You can look at some sub genres of music such as Disco, Rap, and Grunge as prime examples of this but the reason why Rap is still here is because unlike Disco and Grunge you have other lanes you can get into if you don't like a particular artist. When something is being forced upon you,no matter how much you get sick of it it is always in your face. That is why it is so important to have a balance in music because you have room to listen to other things besides the same songs you hear every hr. on the hr. But too much is never enough in the music business because once you are not in the public eye you will be quickly tuned out.

Throwback Joint Of The Day

All I have to say about this joint was that it signaled New York's return to hip hop dominance in the mid 90's and introduced us to one of the best rappers of all time. Here is The Notorious B.I.G. (R.I.P.) in Big Poppa.

Lil Wayne

I'm sure you guys already know about Lil Wayne and him serving a yr. in jail(although they expect him to serve eight months) due to a gun charge in New York. While I respect the man for his talent as a rapper and as a brand but some of the decisions he has made away from the state or studio has been not so good in my opinion. Hopefully this time will allow him to take some self inventory and come back a better rapper/person. At the end of the day celebrities are role models whether they like it or not, it comes with the territory.

When Did Keepin' It Real Go Wrong?

That's a simple question which can be answered in many ways. This question is related to the current state of the music industry and how "real" music is being pushed into the background by music that is deemed by the powers that be as commercially viable. I think once non music people started to come into the picture that is when I think keepin' it real got pushed further down the totem pole thanks to protecting that bottom line.
