What happend that music doesnt have to be an expression of emotion anymore. Used to be the more you pour your hear and soul into your music the better it was. Now a days if you got a catchy hook and a good gimic you'll have a gold record.
For me it's more about what sounds good, and what I enjoy listening to. Particularly in the rap/hiphop genre, yea the lyrics are important, but for me that's just to the extent that they are clever/witty/funny/catchy. Rap/hiphop being an expression of emotion is all good if it is for real, but I've gotten sick of the cookie cutter artists, and I listened to the Pink Friday CD and enjoyed pretty much every song. That to me is a winner and a star, and it's something that I haven't found from any other females in the industry. I guess I have a somewhat shallow taste in music, but if it sounds good and I enjoy listening to it, that's all I'm looking for.
