what is MUSIC...??....

Photobucket
My definition of music....-music is a conversation...its like a conversation between instruments...for example if the guitar is singing a melody,the bass is listening and saying something back,so the drums would put in his 2 cents and so on...they compliment each other and thats what makes it sound so sublime..so when i listen to music im not hearing just 1 thing as a whole, im listening to the conversation the instruments are having or the conversation that the music is having with a writer that helps paint the picture in your mind and makes them feel a certain way to say what they say over music....music has a voice...and it talks to people,and people love music that talks to them in any way..thats why people love or just focus on lyrics kuz its easy to understand the music talking to you...but sometimes some of the best type of music is the ones with no lyrics or the music behinddd the lyrics...espiecially with hip hop artist..the best ones in the game can hear a beat and let it talk to them and approach it and hit the same music nerve the producer was feeling...its beautiful man!..for example...my dude charles hamilton in my opinion (if not the most right now)...hes 1 0f the most talented MUSICIANS in the hip hop game right now..(notice how i didnt say most talented rapper or producer)....because he can make a beat and with just the beat alone..hes talking to you...and hes able to put lyrics over those beats to touch all people with not just his producing but then killing em with the lyrics as well..he has the ability to talk to musicians and hit everyone with lyrics that people can relate to...real talented dude man! (he also playes instruments as well)...so like what made me let yall into my mind to understand my interpretation of music is that i get these questions all the time "how do you learn to play that so quick?"..or "how do you teach yourself to play instruments"..ohh man and cant forget "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU LISTENING TO?!?!" lol...well when i listen to music i dont hear just 1 thing or the song as a whole...i hear the conversation going on within the music and it talks to me..no lie its really like a musical chatroom going on in my head..i hear and listen 2 all aspects of every song....and when you can understand the language of music its such a beautiful thing....your mind opens up to so much music and you find youself unbiased to all types of music...i get the whole point of the mainstream scene or whatever..pretty much it aint about the music (lol) its only about making money even if you know your music sucks and doin stupid dances in the process (cough cough...souja boy and others! lol) that you all are going to look back n laugh at yourselves for lol ...but what happened to the days when hip hop was realllllll AND you can dance and have fun to it...it has no meaning anymore,no voice,its mainly just a mixup of "punchlines" (if u wanna call it that) that has nothing to do with the point of the song,over meaningless beats....smh...i mean i guess each decade has its downfalls...except for the late 60's and the 70's of course those times WERE music! u had people like bob marley,marvin gaye,led zeppelin,otis redding,the beginning of punk,the birth of hip hop...shit! i can go for daysssss,80's R&b hit the scene extremely hard but then you had hair metal rock bands and pop music :-/,90's was also a good decade for all types of music but then you had grunge music and gothic people lol,and oh god the 00's is prolly the worst decade for music..dont get me,wrong early 00's had a good look...but it went downhill to the utmost point...by far lol....
ima fade this out with a bob a marley quote..

"one good thing about music....when it hits you feel no pain...so hit me with musicc!!"-Bob marley
