>How is this when music is basically free now

If I put you in a library and tell you to find the great books without any kind of card catalog( electronic or card) how will you find your way? I literally spend hours looking for music why because I'm a digger and as an artist I know I ain't the only guy out their that is on point but getting no play.

So if you are delusional about your own culture and creation how can you determine classic from garbage?

Hip Hop evolved from the pre 1985 style of rap and production. I think the production has evolved but in the mainstream niggas are creating EDM and old 90s beats like it something new with a synthesizer here or there. Its not new or innovated its a rehash of a rehash.

The people growing up listening to this shit don't even like songs that were popular a year ago. The entire concept of appreciating music is gone from the under 25 generation who looks at music like a cheap commodity and background decoration.
