I'm taking a journey to learn the art of creating great, clean, soul-moving music and beats. My influences are JDilla, Black Milk, 9th Wonder, Madlib, you know..producers of that mindset. So, if you're one of those guys that like "Radio" hip hop, not here

It seems like my music keeps getting compared to other music, mainly that crappy "Radio" hip hop, instead of just music..

I think that when people do that, they don't really relate to hip hop. Hip hop isn't always about a style of beat, or whatever, it should be able to appreciate the sound of music that speaks to you.

I know that I've said several times that I don't like this current mainstream hip hop that's out now...That's because it has no heart at all. It's all about making money and being catered to corporations instead of the people, or even the artist writing it. It should speak from their heart.

I just don't seem to see a lot of people that appreciate good music here. If they are here, they don't seem to be the ones listening to my music....

I know I have a lot of growing to do, but I don't understand how people don't like to hear melodies in songs. That in my opinion is what makes the damn song!! But I digress...

Sorry to vent, but it's just appalling to me is all...I'm sure like most people, everyone will freakin catch on when I'm dead or some other dude comes out biting the same style I'm using..

Just really a vent. I know there's people out there that think about music like I do, and would love to meet more of them.

Is it possible for you to at least give reasons for low ratings, or are you just giving the low rating just to hate??

I understand that I can't please everyone, but I would at least like to know, if possible, why? Do you not like the arrangement? Do you not like the melody? Are the melodies too simple, complex? What?

It's just weird that some of the songs that I don't really consider my best are ranking higher than the ones that I do.

So, I'm just curious.
