I just laughed when I read "we have real artists today like Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj" JAJAJAJA you must be deaf.

[somtyer890]

I find your logic extremely hilarious. Nicki Minaj and Lil' Wayne wouldn't be here if it weren't for progressive entities which put the African American culture into mainstream America. Besides... These so called "artists" you speak of (Nicki and Wayne) are merely puppets in the fat cat recording companies game. Music is too commercial nowadays, music has no meaning anymore sadly only that of getting rich fast and it infuriates me when I see fools as yourself try to dismiss true culture as shit.

[Nicole Lynn]

HA, REAL MUSIC? Are you referring to auto tune? Obviously it isn't 'long gone' if me, and millions of other people are listening to it. Music today refers to drugs, lust, and violence because that's the only thing people can run to alive in this age, and I bet you're one of them. This was a time when music had soul, and real power to move people. Not like music today where artists bitch about their lives and roll around in their own self pity, with people like you to promote them. Peace and love

Lil Wayne looks like a pedo bear with his tattoos and his teeth is just ugly you know there is something called a toothbrush and toothpaste it really does help , and Nicki Minaj is looks nasty and unnatural with her fake hair multi colored hair ... Go listen to REAL music and get a life. Oh btw thanks for calling me a hippy

LOL, the Three Stooges between 1934 and 1959 Where one of the Best Comedy Trios of all time. LOL, also, without this music, most of the songs you like from them wouldnt exist. as Of seeing your channel, your a troll who hates all music, except Lil Wayne and Nicki Manaj.
