well, i guess the problem is people today just don't give a fuck about music...either that or artists are dumb. good lyrics are hard to find nowadays..and i guess we can't blame that on production. but i still believe when you have producer A bringing a beat to songwriter B so artist C can sing the final song...you're just not gonna get the same quality of good music as in the 60s & 70s. the problem is artists are not artists...they are entertainers. no one writes anymore.
