Is Music An Effective Gatekeeper? or You Listen To That Garbage?!

Is Music An Effective Gatekeeper? or You Listen To That Garbage?!

Once again, music becomes the focal point in a post or blog or essay. Like I said, about 80% of my daily life is music. Listening to mnusic, making playlists, on in the<b> background </font></b>while cleaning or hanging out with friends, using my fingers to play Beethoven on my thighs when I'm too nervous in public... I could tell you 100 ways that music is important to me and still be able to tell you 100 more.

The problem is, I enjoy music so much that I don't have a specific genre I listen to. I do confess that is one of my favorite genres but there are so many subgenres or categories that I can't say it is its own encompassing genre. Trap, mumble, g funk, etc ... you name it and you can find one hundred different types of it. was originally an acronym for Rhythm and Poetry, which is fitting. The two things i love about are the two most important - The beat and the words. Sure, there are melodies, hooks, the alliteration and rhyme, the flow and melody -- all it boils down to is that if it has meaning and a good beat, I'm in.

I'm beginning to think I should transfer this blog over to a music site, since I find myself increasingly posting about music -- there are posts I've written here and otherwise that have music as the subject. I didn't realize until I started this project that the notes and sharps and flats and crescendos are part of my daily life so much that without them I would fall apart like a sweater unraveling. Should I? I'm not sure.

 Nothing wrong with music posts. I don't see NOT having a specific genre being a problem, either. In this post I've learned way more than I ever knew about .

There is a lot of difference in subgenres and substance when it comes to . I really enjoy artists that carry some societal message when still spitting mad rhyme. Check out Brother Ali's "Uncle Sam Goddam" or Blue Scholars' "50 Thousand Deep". Brother Ali is from Wisconsin, and Blue Scholars is from the Pacific Northwest.

If you're going through heartbreak, Grieves is the one for you. If shit is tough but you're happy, listen to Atmosphere. Into verbose vernacular? Aesop Rock is for you. If you want some light, funny irreverent lines, look up Prof. Most of these guys are all from the Rhymesayers label.
