And honestly, as good as underground can be, until rap music appreciates the musical aspect and stop totally emphasizing the lyrical aspect, then those rappers will do nothing for me.
Anyway, it does seem like techno is what might conquer rap but who knows. it's easy to conquer Europe and Australia because their music isn't so heavily influenced by african rhythms and grooves, but the US market has always been influenced by african and european sounds and techno is as african as miley cyrus is beautiful  Detroit Techno (when it funky like 1980's electro/synth-funk & plenty of black artists making it!) once had that opportunity to be THE new popular genre in the USA music industry. But hip-hop/rap had that opportunity won by 1988 because it was the music of the streets, ghettos/projects, and the hoods that excited even the white teens of the suburbs in many ways that techno didn't. Yeah, house music, techno, and all that was funky back then it was black artists making it. When the black artists left it, the funkiness and rhythm left it also and it became this repetitive sounding shit that techno has become today. Andy is a four letter word. | |

That would still be musically more interesting than any contemporary rap album.  .....    National Funk League✮✮ | |

I wish Garage had gotten big like it did in the UK "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

Ta-da, there it is. | |

Yep, up until the eraly 90s house and hip hop could be featured on ONE album (Erotica by Madonna). But Techno is not in. Electro-House is big, classic house is dead, Techno was sooo 90s. | |

so how is that different than heavy metal music? | |

Rap is much like anything else in The U.S.: over and overdone..
It's a wrap. A bunch of moguls who have pimped it to death, and cut off jobs of other rappers. Still, Rap has done its job to corrupt black youth for nearly 25 years after R&B failed to finish the job. The message was controlled from unity and peace to "hood music". Some of the people than benefited ought to be ashamed. They continued to value evil for good, and so did the listeners. Now the modern parent cannot scold their children about morals because this "horrible music was the soundtrack to their own youth". The Taboo of Gangsta Life, and Street life was a quick-fix turn-on for the angry youth, but those involved should not have "bitten the apple" for $$$$. They need to pray for mercy from YHWH!

I never knew House and techno were originally "black" music genres, considering today only people usually that listen to techno are European or white. Why did black musicians leave techno, and how did techno get so big in Europe? Did Prince ever deny he had sex with his sister? I believe not. So there U have it..

good question. I would suspect it will be something that resembles Metal. I say that because whatever replaces it will probably be edgy, angry. | |

Why did black musicians leave techno, and how did techno get so big in Europe? The same reason black musicians left everything else in the 1990s. One word....shit hop. . . .

A stupid thug also can manipulated out of his full share of the profits also. If something ever did replace actual "rap" it would still have that shit hop sound with the Fisher Price sounding drum machines except it would have singing on top of it instead of rapping. The labels aren't going to let their cheap low class goose that lays the golden eggs get away from them...ever.
And as long as they, along with radio giants like Clear Channel can keep everything else out of the mainstream that might be a threat to it, they can continue to keep the next generation's taste as shitty as this younger generation's taste because they would never be exposed to anything else that is more expensive to make. . . .

WOW you hit the nail on that one. Yeah i don't think music is going to get any better, but maybe that is a good thing. Cause the stuff they are making and subliminal messages they have in songs, i don't care to listen to music like that anymore. |

Well if the music industry as we know it disappears, and there is no one organization trying to galvanize what is easy for them to market, then i think it will be all over the map, like indie heaven.
With everybody making, marketing and selling everything from their own home through their own websites, it may very well be more diverse than ever before. Remember when "they" proclaimed this seasons "it" color would be "brown"? That "they" is now "you" and thankfully "you" are not as organized. [Edited 4/24/09 20:44pm] | |
