Old Skool Eargasm of the Day

Remember when Del used to rip shit...

I hear a lot of jibber jabber from folks about never leaving the old skool behind, not being up on the current times, and the diversion from a lot of new skool music. I don't have any qualms about new school music...I do, however, have a problem with poor quality music. Yes, even I'm guilty. I will catch myself listening to it from time to time when I turn the radio on. I'm not against the radio the way I used to be, but whether it entails the lyrics, the beat, and just the overall composition of a song in general...poor quality is poor quality. Whether it's a product of the old skool or the new, I'm not going to front like I like it just cause its the "hot track" out for the day. We all know there's a lot of wack music out there these days, across all genres, but for the record...I do listen to a lot of the new skool shit that's out there. It just so happens a lot of it unfortunately doesn't fall into the hiphop genre.

The good news is there are still consistent artists out there like Common who keep their music progressive. I can respect his new album being a shift in style from his usual spiritual, soulful sound. He's having fun and keeping up with the times.
