music is all about opinions. people think jay-z is the best rapper alive, while others think he sucks. people think 50 cent doesn't make good music, only catchy hooks, while others think that man is one of the best songwriters in the industry. people look for rap for different reasons. I consider myself a hip hop head, so I know who people like aesop rock & anticon & slum village are.....I also think they all suck, as well as thinking that 50 cent can write good songs, so noone really takes me seriously. the thing is, I can argue valid points & break each down musically on why they're good or not, and not just say "that shits tight because its tight" for the most part I listen to artists based on their lyrical ability, as well as their song structure, writing & content, patterns, punchlines, etc.....but then again I like Turf Talk, and he has none of that. there are some things you can't explain why you like, you just do. I just don't get why people get so mad at the fact that these musicians are making music that people want to hear. who knows whether or not fabalous wants to make nothing but love songs to chicks, the females wanna hear it and buy up his records, so he continues to make music for his fanbase. as an artist you have to cater to your fans....if 95% of your fans are women, then you're gonna be singing alot of love songs.
