I don't really pay attention to that type of media. But today I saw that
horrendous Puffdaddy w/ jimmy page video. That's what you get when a
loser artist sells his soul to the devil, SAD!!!
His music sucked when he first did Notorious BIG production,. There's no
substance or soulful groove to it. It seems MTV is continuing to push
(c)rap down the viewers throats instead of real hip hop (Gangstarr,
Jeru, Rakim, KRS-one, Tribe, De La soul, Pharcyde, Company Flow, Roots,
Goodie Mob, Mosdef, DJ Shadow, Mood, etc.) You got the picture!!!
I did see the "Brown Paper Bag" and "Watching Windows" by Roni Size's
Reprazent. that was only once or twice in a sea of mediocrity. People
like Roni Size, Massive Attack, Portishead, Maxwell, Jamiroquai,etc. are
to good for MTV. There should be an XTV, that plays excellent music
24-7, with no filler (12 angry viewers, mtv Jams)! I'd watch X-TV!!!
Does anyone agree?
