Just real spit from Cudder
Some have deemed 2014 the worst year in Rap ever. Others have been disappointed with the lack of music from heavy hitters. As far as facts go, no album in any genre has gone platinum at all this year, besides Taylor Swift. Is that a testament to the state of music as a whole or are album sales becoming a thing of the past?
Either way, something sparked an honest Twitter display from KiD CuDi, who says he is not impressed with rap much these days, because nobody really approaches it like an art form anymore.
“Anyone and everyone can rap now. Its not an impressive field to be in anymore. Ima just learn more instruments and plot more symphonies. Of course there are guys that are impressive and found success making rap their own, but how many of those types of artist exist? Not many. So on the rare occasion I stumble across some new shit thats powerful and has meaning, I become impressed w that artist. Because they could dumb down their music, surely connect to a larger audience and make a shit ton of money, but thats not impressive.
Big whoop u sell a shit ton of records, so have many artist before you. What else u got? What u got for mankind? For the human race? Rap music is a hustle I respect, But we need more people approaching it like an artform w some peace of mind.
That would be impressive :)”
Do you agree with Cudi has to say?
