That too. lol

But to me it stems from the "Napster/MP3" generation and lack of attention spans due to ease of getting the music....

Fools can download a lifetime worth of music for free, so there's no value AT ALL in music to alotta people old or new.

I'm 37 and remember when in HS we would go to the record store FAITHFULLY spending lunch money to get the new dopeness every tuesday.

That stuff I still have means A LOT to me to this day....

Kids coming up now don't have those experiences and therefore don't value the music the way we did coming up.

I agree with what you said, but I also think broken down....it's mainly just a matter of value....or lack thereof.

We PAID for that shit and it had value to us because of it...gave more time to it....baby'd it...all that.

We all are guilty of that new school tho as well.....

Download - listen - archive - move on to the next - repeat

As far as beats.....that plug in sound *almost* as good as Neve....lol

The convenience is great, but there is a cost.

The people that LOVE the music, but want and deserve better are the ones paying the price.

General public don't have love for music like that tho....

Many levels of blame to go around.
