This hit me today. What's different between my iTunes library and the common music listeners'?
-Underground, talented rap artist with amazing lyricism (Ace Da Vinci, Alyssa Marie, Ana Tijoux, Axis, B.o.B [other than Nothin On You, Airplanes & Magic], Big Boss, Deuce, Eppic, Fort Minor, Gho5t, Hopsin, Hyperaptive, Immortal Technique, ect.)
-Other lesser known RnB/Pop artist (Ahmir, Jukebox The Ghost, Krista Nicole, Lisa Lavie, Maribelle Anes, Ryan Star, Skylar Grey/Holly Brook)
-Lesser known/older albums/artist that are overlooked now (Beastie Boys, Bob Marley, Bon Jovi, DMX, Dr. Dre, Eminem (before Recovery/Relapse), Green Day (Before American Idiot), Jay-Z, Kanye West (Other than Stronger), ect.
now the what we share, is getting larger, and this is giving me hope for real talent to shine through in mainstream music again. ADELE, still atop the charts, amazing accomplishment for her! And she deserves it greatly! Tech N9ne's new album All 6's & 7's reaching 3 in its first day on iTunes, and Tech is a 100% with an independent label, that he worked to establish along with his dedicated fan base, or his Technicians. Lupe Fiasco, amazing lyricist with truth behind his words his album LASERS has reached amazing achievements. Skylar Grey, an amazingly talented woman is working on her debut album. Cee-Lo Green, Bruno Mars, The-Dream, Mumford & Sons and Arcade Fire bring talent back into popularized music.
*Note, I purposely left Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Britney Spears, Ke$ha, Lil Wayne, Drake, Tyler The Creator, Odd Future & Katy Perry off that last mention of talent coming back. These of course are my personal opinions, but I mean, the whole article is.
