Is shit compared to the 1987-mid 90's era when there were so many talented lyricists and storytellers. Now most of it is over produced, vacant, culturally insignificant nonsense.
This. I sort of dig the old school rap but it went bottom of the barrel lowest common denominator since.

But you damn well better enjoy A Tribe Called Quest on stage now lol
Of course I do. But it's not the same without Fife.

That didn't even sound like music to me. So awful. But again, music is a personal thing.

Unless I want to hear the same 7 songs ad nauseam. Stay away from the radio, and you can find those hip hop gems.
Good to see ATCQ perform at the Grams. I hate Target for even more using that half assed "it takes two" remake. If I see another shot of J and Bey... Actually Bey is alright.
Is the almost obligatory rap interlude. Ariana Grande, for instances, might be singing a perfectly good bubble gum pop song and then out of nowhere comes the rapper du jour with some lame rap. "Gonna love you Grande style, drop it on you baby girl like a du du pile. I'm the baddest G with a mic within a mile."
it does, I just wanted to shit on the big winner sick of her crying act every time she wins. But then again she barely older than OBJ so still not quite adult by BBI standards.

I like a lot of rap today. But I agree with this. Albums like John Legend's album before this newest one had a rap solo that didn't really vibe with the whole thing. It shouldn't insinuate itself. It should be organic. Who do I think I to judge that maybe, but I think the point stands.
is that I get a chance to make believe I am one of the cast of Mystery Science Theater when I watch. I rip the lame ass pop stars to shreds, and laugh my ass off while I do it. They are all ridiculous to me. Then when the show is over, and all the ridiculous pop stars, and music industry execs, go off to party, I go to bed. Early tomorrow when they get back to their palatial estates, I'll be on my way into work, but they will know that I think they are ridiculous, and they will feel shame. yup, true story.

right about today's pop music despite your or my political leanings. As an aside, I have never gone on infowars but was sent that as a link and thought it was spot on as they say.
However, I was glad to hear that Chance the Rapper and Sturgill Simpson both got some love. They are each very different from the other, but what they share in common is that they are genuine artists, not overproduced background music.
is the one award show worth watching because of all the performances. Who wins the awards and the speeches they give are secondary to me. I watch it on DVR and focus more on the performances.
It's a show celebrating music and packs itself with wall to wall performances that run the gamut of genres.There were some great, great performances last night and other enjoyable, interesting ones.
Adele, Bruno Mars (both performing his own song AND paying tribute to Prince), Chance the Rapper, Sturgill Simpson, Gary Clark Jr with William Bell, The Weeknd with Daft Punk, along with interesting mash-ups like Lady Gaga with Metallica, A Tribe Called Quest with Anderson Paak, Maren Morris and Alicia Keys, and a nice rendition of "God Only Knows" by John Legend and a Broadway star I'm unfamiliar with.

I love punk, southern rock, folk, older rap, and I said to my wife Bruno Mars should perform at every Super Bowl halftime. I think he's great.
She did.

I guess if classical music can make kids smarter, then today's pop music is certainly making kids dumber.

This has been happening for 20+ years?

Safe to say someone who visits Infowars should not be calling out others for being made dumber (by anything). That site is Fox on steroids.
I agree and I heard that Gaga grew up listening to Metallica. She went all out for the performance. Wish Hetfield's mic would have worked though.

I thought there was plenty to enjoy.
