Music & Genre

I'm back again after a short intermission. Now I know that we have moved on from the genre topic this week but I was thinking a lot about music today and was considering the different genres of music. When most people think about genres they think about movies, but music has as many and most likely way more genres then movies. Now I try not to be prejudice when it comes to music (my girlfriend is a huge country fan), but there are obviously some genres that i enjoy listening to more than others. Personally I am a big rap and hip-hop fan but I like to delve into many other genres. Alot of people say that rap music sucks and that they all talk about the same thing and the cars and the ice and blah blah blah, but I would bet that 99% of those people havn't even givin rap music the time of day, so to say. If you only hear whats on the radio and all of the sing-along type rap and hip-hop songs then you really havn't even come close to scratching the surfice of the hip-hop world. There are hundreds and hundreds of extremely talented lyricists and MC's in the industry and most of them people have never even heard of. I guess the point I'm trying to make is the same point you can make about a lot of things, don't judge a book by its cover, or in this case music by its genre. Give a new type of music a chance, listen to some stuff that you would normally never listen to and do some research. I gaurentee you will end up finding at least something that you like. Hope whoever is reading this is somewhat inclined to try something new, until next time do me a favor and type black river sound into google and click on their myspace page, you might just like the soulful flow of Black River Sound. Let me know.
