....that I receive from a lot of people, and although I like the genre, I'd say that no more than 10 percent are any good at all, including many of the top sellers. It seems now, that many "artists" are making what I call "atonal, arhythmic hip hop." They don't have the skills to write a decent rhyme after their first 3 ideas, and their beats, to put it mildly, stink. Hell, I bet they can barely clap their hands in time to a beat. "Hiring" a good "producer" only helps the samples, because that is what it generally means to be a producer today; sitting around their home studio and listening to obscure and not so obscure vinyl. Weak.I am sick of the whole pimping, v-12s, SUVs, Platinum chains, handguns, petty thuggery, etc. scene. Overall, although there are several really good artists, bands and groups of bands, in general, the talent is very, very thin.
