Progressive Rap And Hip-Hop Actually Sucks

There is no purpose and there is no talent. Lil Pump is trash. Migos are trash. Yachty is trash. Lil' whatever is trash.

You've heard it.

"Gucci Gang Gucci Gang Gucci Gang Gucci Gang Gucci Gang Gucci Gang Gucci Gang Gucci Gang Gucci Gang Gucci Gang Gucci Gang Gucci Gang Gucci Gang Gucci Gang Gucci Gang Gucci Gang"

It's literally the entire song. There is no purpose and there is no talent. Lil Pump is trash. Migos are trash. Yachty is trash. Lil' whatever is trash. Why? Because it's, "a bunch of words and ain't saying shit" – J.Cole x Everybody Dies

Progressive hip-hop has gone down the drain – lyrics are no longer the the focus like much like Eminem, Nas, Jay-Z, and Biggie were. "Artists" and record labels and ESPECIALLY the producers are after the bread, and these days want something that bangs in the club or on the radio aka they want money with zero talent or effort used. It's pathetic and the worst part about it is, people find that this music is "lit."

The only way that it could be lit is if it's literally lit on fire because it's total garbage.

Illmatic x Nas will easily show you how important lyrics were back in '94. Any of Biggie's albums will show you how important style is in hip-hop, and how powerful it is. Jay-Z's instrumentals will prove to you how intricate producers used to be. Eminem was basically Nas' inspiration and essentially his student. Don't even make me mention Dr. Dre and Snoop Dawg's collab album called "The Chronic."

The quality is superb. Hip-Hop groups like NWA and A Tribe Called Quest used to be the most popular. East Coast/West Coast hip-hop beef was REAL. Freestyles which required actual TALENT were the definition of hype. I miss it, and anyone that has a real taste for hip-hop misses it as well.

The standard for quality of music is virtually non-existent and anyone that finds it to be of high quality and lives up to the idea of music is patently *wrong* and I'm not making any apologies for that statement.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
