Swhet Productions

So I have recently slipped into a depressed lull about the music that has been taking over the industry lately. It's all too... Unilateral. There is nothing NEW. Most, if not all, songs in Much Music's Top 30 are all auto-tuned, hiding any possiblity of someone having a good voice, and just sounding the same as the next guy. All new music is the same. There is no variation. And the stuff that is good, is burried under piles of crap. So to find it you actually have to search.

Granted, this is just my opinion, but I challenge you to prove me wrong about the auto-tune. ANYBODY can make money as long as they have a computer and a mic. Just ask Soulja-Boi. I mean, auto-tune was cool when it first became big. But after Kanye West, it was just over used. Just like almost EVERY other form of art, when someone does something that makes money, everyone else gets lazy and does exactly the same thing. And somehow they make money too. Take Twilight for example. Somebody wrote about vampires, and that book took off. Now the craze is vampires. People are writing books and stories, all based off roughly the same plot. Apparently vampires can walk in sunlight. Which is bullshit. Vampires don't EVOLVE. I'm not gunna get into science here, but the fact is, it's impossible. Anyway, I'm going on a tanjent. Back on subject, get your own material and take risks.

And the lyrics. Oh my god. Whatever happened to "Smack dat hoe" and other great works? I mean, ever since Eminem started writing songs such as "Not Afraid" and "Sing for the Moment", every single rap artist clinged to that. And now ALL rap artist are writing about how life sucked, and they used to have nothing. And that they're singing for all the people still on the bottom. But they aren't doing anything to help those people they're singing about. WE GET IT. Eminem did something smart, made a change, and told the world about it. Now YOU go out and take a risk, you dirty sanchez. Everyone who is singing about the same shit didn't care about it before it was making money. Now they're vomiting it out like it's bad meat. Which just voids what they're saying. Almost all of Eminem's songs are in some way trying to inspire change in someway or another. He also uses A LOT of satire. Especially in "3AM in the Morning." This is why I hate songs like "Airplanes." Because Eminem already did it. I mean sure, a couple people PROBABLY did it before. But Eminem took it to the next level. He showed that white people also live in the Ghetto. And they have tough lives too. And he took advantage of his position and showed the world what he is really about.

Whats even worse... Are remixes of good old 80's and 90's songs. It's bullshit, I like my "I'm Blue" "Your Number One"  "Dear Sister" "Spin Me Right 'Round" and "Numa Numa" they way they were intended, on the internet with fat people dancing to them. Not in shitty remixes where some black dude raps about how he lost his girl, or life sucks, then throwing in "Your Number One", even though it doesn't have anything to do with the rest of the song. It's bullshit, I said it before and I'll say it again. GET YOUR OWN FUCKING MATERIAL. Don't steal a beloved 80's classic and shit all over it to make your music appeal to an older audience. If they don't like you now, they DEFINATELY won't like you after you rape the stuff they do like. Before you know it they're gunna be doing  "Jenny" or "Rock the Casbah".

Rappers try to convince us that they sing because they want to, but it's clearly for the money. If the money they're getting now continued to come in, even if they stopped. I'm willing to bet they would stop singing. Yes, it is a profession, but they could at least TRY. That's all I'm asking. Gimme something new. Actually sing. Then I might consider actually BUYING your music.
