I agree. People have been singing the same old song since 2000 at least...

Because nothing has changed since even before then. People will stop singing the same old song when music stops singing the same old song and changes. Music has not done a 100% complete style change since the mid 1990s and styles used to change every five years or so. What are they supposed to do, just shut up and be quiet if they don't like something? Nothing gets changed that way.

You kidding? Music has done a 100% turn from "urban" to electro-pop.

As far as electro-pop, that mess ain't new.

Or maybe they lazy? Because I know of some folks who do produce some good shit so again...

It's not a matter of being lazy. It's the principle of the matter. It's a matter of you shouldn't have to "search for good stuff" when there's a radio right there that should be playing it. It's about getting the good stuff back into the mainstream and making people have to "search" for the horrible stuff like it used to be. Shit hop was around in the later part of the 1980s but it was underground and you had to "search" for it. Only the good stuff made it onto the radio. All that stripped down talking over a slow beat mess was underground. It needs to be that way again.

That's pop which I could care less about and have never given a damn about what ruled pop radio.

^ But Andy I thought you wasn't paying attention to modern "R&B" so what's really going on?

Not pay attention to it? Hell, you can't escape it. It's in all the damn TV commercials, they talk about it all the time on the "Today" show and play snips of it, it comes from passing cars, and it's even background music in movies these days. You couldn't escape it if you tried and believe me, I'd love to be where I have no exposure to it whatsoever and could completely forget how it sounds.

Every once in a while it is worth it looking someone up on google ur not familiar with.

She has some decent tracks.
For all the lazy peeps (or just too cool for school) that can't find Santigold on google and youtube...:
These are some songs from when she was still "Santogold"

Hell I couldn't care less either but that doesn't mean that it isn't a "100%" new turn.

Hell, it's even on Prince boards of all places, including this one, and even shows up in a Prince song every now and then. See what I mean, there's NO escaping it.

There havent been any new innovative genres or sounds over the last 20 years.... at the LEAST I give it 15...

Someone should tell this dumb ho that Beyonce doesn't write her own songs. So there goes her whole commentary. Snooze.

weren't we all pretty much over Santigold about 3 or 4 years ago?

I want to like her for her aesthetic, but I unfortunately feel she thinks she's more original than she really is. Before her new tracks, she really sounded way too much like M.I.A. and her Big Mouth video is a complete rip off of Maluca's "Que Que" with Diplo & Dillon Francis.

:yeathtah:

I remember her album sounding like M.I.A. on half the tracks and the other half of the tracks she was being... I can't remember. Gwen Stefani or somebody.
