Listen to more underground stuff. The pop stuff is what sounds uncreative. The guys that aren't as famous get more creative and add more interesting textures

THIS MUSIC TODAY WILL NEVER BE PLAYED 15 TO 20 EVEN 30 YEARS LATER, THATS WHY EVERYONE LISTENS TO THE OLD JAMS .

@Carlos Pro YOU KNOW WHY I SAID THAT?? IT BECAUSE THIS MUSIC TODAY IS NOT OF QUALITY. YOU HAVE MANY MOVIES, COMMERCIALS, INTROS ALL PLAYING "OLD SCHOOL" MUSIC TO GRAB THE ATTENTION OF THE PEOPLE TO BUY WHAT THERE SELLING. DOPE BEATS ON TOP OF GREAT LYRICS. VANILLA ICE, MC HAMMER, TUPAC, BIGGIE, RUN/DMC, I EVEN HEARD DAS EFFECT THE OTHER DAY WHILE WATCHING A MOVIE, I WAS SHOCKED. NOT MANY PEOPLE WILL REMEMBER DAS EFFECT!!!!!!!!!! I GET YOUR POINT THO, BUT CAN THEY PUT TODAYS RAP LYRICS /SONG TO SELL PRODUCTS?????????? I SAY NOPE, NOT AT ALL!!!!!!!!! TOO VIOLENT, TOO SEXUALIZED, CANT UNDERSTAND. THE KIDS TODAY DONT KNOW WHAT GOOD MUSIC SOUNDS LIKE UNTIL THEY GOOGLE AN OLD JAM AND FIND OUT WHO THE ARTIST IS!!!!!!!!! THE YOUNG "ARTIST/RAPPERS" TODAY IS PURE GARBAGE, YOU CANT EVEN DANCE TO THEIR MUSIC UNLES THER SINGING A RAP SONG!!! YOU GOT SLICK RICK WHO RAP AND TOLD A STORY THAT YOU CAN GROOVE TO! WHAT ARTIST YOU KNOW TODAY THAT CAN DO THAT. "IT TAKES TWO BY ROB BASS, AND DJ EASY ROCK, THAT RAP SONG WILL LIVE FOREVER. MY POINT HAS BEEN MADE SIR

Commercial music is WACK, but start diggin’ SON, the underground is still alive and well! You gotta DIG DEEP, but we still out there.

You're telling all truth and facts. Some of these people shouldn't even been signed as artist. But because music has power, to invoke emotion and bring thought provoking ideas they'd rather give this generation garbage.

Deon, I totally agree. I was born in 1969, so I've seen the birth of Rap and Hip-Hop. I remember when Rap and Hip-Hop had a message. Groups like Public Enemy, KRS1 and Arrested Development. When there were CRAZY bars, EPMD, Rakin. I could go on... but Deon said it all. There is A LOT of Garbage Music, with garbage lyrics, over weak repetitive beats.

Same for Gospel music. Only sound I'm finding sticking to the blueprint is Jazz.

This new music there is no msg, just straight disrespect & ignorance..Real sad & disheartening if your a true music lover & lyricist like myself

Corporate has taken over the pop music industry. They grind out "safe" pop "hits". Creativity is out the window because it may not sell, but it could launch a new era, like Elvis, or the Beatles, or even a new genre of music. Pop stations play these mediocre tracks and people buy them. How long has it been since a purely instrumental track was on the charts?

Hey Deon. You speak nothing, but facts! 😍love from Chicago.

Keep it real.. We will never have music like we use to. They cant rap with a message in it or you will not make it in the industry.

There so much garbage music out there, that I cannot remember anything new that came out 6 months ago. Too much sampling and lack of real talent.

Facts.... and it's so sad I'll stick with my old school 💜

The o.g.s have been blackballed blacklisted. Also labeled as irrelevant by OUR OWN YOUTH soooo...r.i.p hip hop

We live in a unfortunate era where garbage sells. Society is being brainwashed to accept it. While good quality decent music is thrown under the rug.

Please tell me why the mix you did with the tiedyed brown and white tank on??? That was so fire!! I'm a house head!!!! Class of 89 Cavaliers!! I listened to that house mix EVERYDAY!! PLEASE bring it back. I miss it so much. That was not garbage. Exquisite

I agree Deon ..I listen to old school jams.

That is why I go to my record box Bobby , Teddy,Luther,Barry,Johnny, Kool n the gang Shalmar, & the twins list goes on old school all day ..

After about 2005, I just stopped listening to new stuff. Very few songs caught my attention since then.

You ain't never lied about that Sir! Garbage music has taken over the youth and some adults. There's no more creativity anywhere. There's not much good wholesome hip hop or good old love songs in R&B anymore. Hell, there's no more real R&B period if you ask me! Music is a reflection of the world today, it's gone to shit!👎🏾My only savior out here is older music and house music. Those have been my go to as of lately.

Remember when Hip Hop records used to be about going to a party, hanging out with friends, playing the dozens, a guy trying to talk to a girl to ask her out or spoken word with a positive message?

Guideless music is a recipe for disaster.

He has a valid point, when the record labels own the radio stations streaming platforms and sign the artists audiences get duped into believing that mediocre cats are good or dope. Nope it's not just rap music (most of this stuff is not Hip-Hop) it's also this pop music, this version of R & B and the rest. Music and money have always went hand in hand so it's not just all about money it's about how technology combined with a lack of creativity (talent and creativity are not the same) and fewer people willing to take a chance on artists contribute to this pure nonsense we hear today, these are just my thoughts.

I wish we would stop ignoring the facts that the corporations has control over creativity. Boycott the labels, the artists just trying to make money

Blame the industry for the BS they've done to have all the garbage we all hear unfortunately!

You better tell the truth king. For the grown and sexy audience, that Paul Hardcastle IX is straight fire. You will not be disappointed.

When I started taking care of my parents more than a decade ago, I stopped listening to music----except a couple of groups and artists whom I could play around my parents. In that time, I've come to realize that, save for that handful of artists, I didn't miss much...

Absolutely, the so called rap today, pure garbage, at least the rap of the 80 90 had a beat and purpose

I have a feeling we'll be hearing those 12 songs by Dre after having to give up that much in a divorce.

Ole school is the way to go been peep this bout 15years ago been like this for a minute GOOD MUSIC IS GOOD MUSIC NO MATTER THE GENERATION 💯

I totally agree but when you say it out loud you sound elderly....IJS new music is for the young and old school music has nostalgia

Thanks bro for this! I 44 and ready to get back on these tracks myself! This has encourage me to release something cause those sounds that I have collected thru the years, my old drum machines and synths is still killing! I got the new plugins too but that analog shit is where it’s at!!! Let’s get back to music! Get out of the minor keys for a second!!

Cmon deon! Snoop went from murder was the case to doing Tostitos commercials with Martha Stewart! Sold out homeboy.

Deon said some real shit!

The music today is very questionable, the music from 50's 90's were music that make you feel it, today they are waping its 😥

ALOT...REAL TALK!!!

Give me some 80's R&B and Pop.

Lots of garbage music today! you are so right handsome~~

You speaking the truth hiphop dying off stuff from back in the day original and timeless. Back in the 90's from my highschool days that music still hot 20 something years later.

I say 90% of it

if your music cannot stand the test of time choose another vocation

Yes Big Sean is definitely dope! One of my favorite lyricists ... I love his new album 🔥🔥.. Everything he's saying is facts 💯💯😎

Once these youngsta get full of whatever altering of their choice they go into now is forever mode and they don't want to here the original pioneers because the in-crowd acceptance is what they are chasing not the knowledge of why be your own to create your own.

Thank you! For this

There has always been a lot of garbage music. The difference is now all of the stations play the same stuff all day. There is great music being made it just doesn't get the same radio play as the main stream artists.

we too far from the source in a LOT of areas. just a bunch of bad copies running around

I would have to agree with you EXCEPT during this pandemic I found the BEST thing musically out there hands down- Tobe Nwigwe he is all of that!!!!!! Facts💯 and I dare anyone to say different lol.

Yo, I got a question? do you ever listen to any up & coming artists? Do you except any music from unknown artist? Because I have a crew of Dope & prolific people who will change the game. We have 2 new releases on digital media. SBMH (Streets Broke My Heart) is the 1st installment

There's hundreds to thousands of great new artist out there! The problem is there's plenty of garbage record companies; agents ; managers; A&Rs; media outlets that pay for & promote garbage music!

Hey Deon I luv u get better soon

Amen!!

Hey Beautiful!! Music will never be like Teddy Pendergast, Jeffery Osborne, Tempations, Dramatic's, The Chi kites, Aretha Franklin. Phylillis Hyman, and so many more, these as artist today can't compare to.

Deon you are right 101percent.

Facts!!!

I was listening to the radio the other day(something I never do)and everything was trash, I'm like, "who listens to this shit😫?"

I seent you get your mix on, so damn right you got the right to talk about music,... preach on

Dre don’t got no power until that what man tell him

yeah... uuh..huh...sneaking out the house...

True.

That's FACTS Deon!! 💯💯✔✔👏👏👏We are missing heart & soul in a lot of new music! I can listen to new music as long as I don't listen to the words! If I have to hear about another big dick, or fat ass, or expensive car, or being misogynistic to women, or violence between men... I'm gonna loose it completely! It's fine that we have music like that & it does serve a purpose but why can't we have more options.... black people are the most diverse group of people on the planet I am positive that we can explore other parts of our Spirit & infuse it in our music... & unfortunately positive feel good music is not as popular

Anthom wicked!

Tell me about it 🙄👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

On another note, did you find an assistant?

FACTS!!

DRE IS THE GREATEST HIP HOP PRODUCER OF ALL TIME AND IT ISNT CLOSE.

FACTS 💯 my gen is lost lost like Logic said this is his last album and he like the only handful that kicking it like that too

I wonder what he heard that made him post this........

We still have a few good artists left that have learned from the O G's of Hip Hop. I agree with you tho because they are a lot of garbage out there brotha

If you do nothing about it then you can’t complain.... life lessons

Shoutout to LOX still holdin it down

~Heyyyyyy Deon!!!!!....You the Man....REAL TALK....but you shole right...THE MUSIC 2DAY IS WHACK. It has NO SUBSTANCE. Don't get me wrong, it's a FEW Burners bumping, but the Artist ONLY HAVE A COUPLE, whereas in my Heyday, we were able to PLAY WHOLE ALBUM/CD/CASSETTE WITHOUT SKIPPING. The fact that MOSTLY the WHOLE ALBUM FIRE is Pure Talent is what's MISSING with today's Music. My Ear still in the '80s/90s era~

It's all relative. Today's music isn't meant for old heads like us to relate to. When I was a teenager, there were plenty of 40/50 year olds who thought bands like Parliament/Funkadelic and Bootsy's Rubber Band were hot garbage, but to us they were iconic because we could relate. The 90's was the last great decade for music, but that's just my opinion.

D, you be straight tripping w/this old man talk lol. There will always be trash music & always has been trash music. It doesn't matter what the OGs do. There's tons of fantastic music too. You're just not looking in the right places for it. The good tunes are underground these days.

Mostly garbage s hit being played. It’s all digital enhanced because no one can really sing.

The only thing that could make this great is if he name names

I posted this under another comment but it stands on its own as how I see what happened to music.. It's our fault. When's the last time YOU voted music? I'm 35, the last time I was active in voting was in high school. I called the radio stations to make requests or to vote on "hit it or quit it" or some other form of that. That was US voting. .as a teen, also, we had gf/bf. We lost people/loves. We understood complexities. We wanted to feel good AND be adult AND have a song for love and lost love and friends and lost friends and etc etc. But then technology grew with us. Social media became the influence. Social media where LITTLE KIDS are all over with little to no restrictions cause parents won't or can't do it. I remember coming from USMC back home and my little cousins were on DatPiff and there were other sites like it where they were voting in who was good. All kinds of likes and sharing. That made them popular and companies want money..so..sell what's popular. Makes sense for them. They don't..or didn't back then, know that it was your little brothers and cousins and kids voting. They just know what's popping and what can bring them in money cause that music is what is wanted. Kids, want any kusifc that THEY think makes them feel grown. And kids notoriously can't stay on the same topic. So all that "commercial rap" that we used to hate on back then, became popular now..now that kids are in control. And the kids ARE in control. Back in those "call in" days, kids younger than 13 really wasn't, at large, getting in the phone hitting up radio stations. Adults and older teens who were allowed were doing that. So the older teens and adults were in control of what got popular. Logically, if we stopped our kids making shit popular and we, the older people, got more involved, WE would be the demanding force. Music would HAVE to conform to our tastes. The complexities of life ause that's what WE want. And so the shit rappers won't be popular, so companies won't pick them up .they'd go to who are popular, which are those artists who can cover more areas and depth in their music. Put some restrictions on your kid's phones and internet usage. What reason does any child need full access? People justifying letting their kids have shit just cause OTHER PARENTS let their kids have shit. Now, while I won't criticize about buying a certain brand of shoe, cause it's just that. Looks. The idea that a kid needs the next best cellphone makes zero sense. And most of them with unrestricted online access...makes NO sense. Anyhow, that bleeds into our music. They're able to get on sites and like, share, vote for all that shit we have no hand in. It has a good tune and says ANYTHING about drugs, gangs or sex, no story, no ideas, no creativity.mjust the mere mentioning of it, and a kid feels grown just for repeating those words. Mentally seeing that imagery. And they like it..cause they feel grown..what all kids want. We want music to change? Then WE need to change how music is promoted. WE have to get more involved and take away access from kids who shouldn't be all over that stuff anyhow

Nowadays it’s simply about being popular. Plenty of us musicians still make music, folks just don’t listen. BandLab has a lot of unknown artist that actually say something. Check out the forked (books) collections at BandLab.com/therealrevelation. You’re sure to like more than a few...

🗣🎤siriusXM has all the music us grown folks listen to. We like music we can sing to. Old skool rap channel 43, gospel channel 64, soul town 49. I don't even know these new music cats 🤔

The most confusing part is that people actually buy their albums " am like 😖💀☠so ya"ll like listening to this Bull***t!! Ok

Ha! Just saw the conan/method man video after this.

Funny that the video I watched right before this was Marvin Gaye's "Inner City Blues" and "What's Going On". Now tell me, do you hear ANYTHING REMOTELY CLOSE to that type those songs of artistry are creativity by todays "artist". Absolutely not.......But I will give India Irie her props for trying to put out songs with substance in the mist of so much garbage today.

I’ve been saying this since 2010 lol

Where is Brooklyn??? 🤔😁🤷🏽‍♀️ We miss her you be playing games. 😁😁🥰

Well, first don't they have to know the English language, proposition, verbs, predicates?

Somebody got to say something

G.Cole go listen to K-Rino the Greatest MC you never heard! H-Town Legend also home of the otha Legend Scarface! He just turned 50 & look 30 a TRUE Young VET😁 He dropped 7 albums in one day called the BIG 7 almost 💯 songs👊🏾 Over 20 albums since 2010 & still going ALL INDEPENDENT & never sold out! The mainstream scared to face him he would REALLY end dudes careers he doesn’t hold anything back he tells it how it should be👊🏾 One of a Kind MC in our lifetime give him a listen you want regret it 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾

Dre was rap, not hip hop. There is a difference.

Way I see it, there’s always been garbage music out there, difference is that it’s easier to access now than 20-30 years ago.
