Track1:Mainsteam & Underground Pt. I
Mainstream and underground. Both are styles of hip hop. I believe it’d be better to say genre though. Because there indeed is a big enough difference between what Drake raps about in Say What’s Real and what he says in Up All Night. I’d say the difference is between what the artist wants to say, and what the audience wants to hear. Many teenage girls paraded the “ Peace, Happiness & Love”. That line almost makes no sense when the song is regarding, or basically, his loyalty to Young Money. There can’t be peace with such a plethora of artistic styles. Happiness is miniscule when you’re a celebrity because everyone around you, are like monkeys on your back. Peace cannot be enjoyed in America, Home of the Greed and Unpaid. And as far as love… There’s no reason to bring this up. In Say What’s Real, he gives us a 4 minute synopsis of his life transitioning from small acting, to big music. His topics range from his mother not wanting her son to flaunt money because now he has it to how many record companies try to trap musical artists in ominous contracts. The idea is, mainstream and underground music are made for differing reasons. If you want a story, a narrative listen to the music that express emotions and feelings. Now, it won’t always be underground doing this… Or, if you want sugar-coated stanzas, enjoy mainstream because in a way, you’re voting for this new genre.
Bonus Track: Sonic Atmosphere(Still needs impovements)
Stereotypes have lead people to believe that a certain ethnicity, race, age and creed listen to a certain genre of music. Let’s put a stop to the assumptions to what people listen to and really ask them. Lets ask…Rachael Everson.

THEMES( SOUNDS)
Alvin:What do you pefer in your music, Lyrics or beats?
Racheal: In theory, lyrics however in reality, Beats.
Alvin:Why do you like lyrics in theory?
Racheal: I’m a linguistic learner. I played piano since I was a little child and I believe that it enforced my attention to lyrics rather than beats.
Alvin: As a child where did you live/ethnicity?
Racheal: I Lived in Hattiesburg, Mississippi and I’m White. I lived in a home where classical music was rampant.
Alvin: Do you think that had any influence on your musical tastes?Racheal: My parents were pianist, which encouraged an academic environment with my approach to music. I played the piano and loved it, which most likely led me to like the new album by Kanye West: My Beautiful dark twisted fantasy. I have a bias towards music using pianos.
Alvin:What musical genre do you have a preference for.Racheal: I enjoy classical music. Also emerging 60’s R&B. Like Cee Lo Green.
Alvin:Why is Cee lo green popular?
Racheal: Cee Lo green’s sound is distinctive enough to offer a new sound that most people don’t hear. In this society, where people’s attention span are short, there is this unspoken rule that a single has to be the best of the artist rather than the album. Cee Lo Green created a appealable single. Cee Lo green put new life into the music industry by adding old elements that I appreciate. Appreciates old element. Puts new life. Philosophy: people singles matters the most instead of the ablum. Listening to a single is more appealing, short and to the pojunt
Listen to an album over and over again then stops. Transformers in st.elsewhere
Like cee lo green? Irony: word play and allusions are intellect. Lyrics are great.” Sonic atmosphere” Drawn to quality of voice. Charles barley alum, also expermentail sojunds. Irony. Creates a new sound, breaks boundary and an a clever way. Mouse box. Post modern element, contrast. Exciting sound.
Liked the blend of, sampling. Liked kayne west. Blending of experimental music such as genre.
How did you decide you liked that genre?
Classical, R&B, Hip-Hop, Indie bands
People in our lives craft our tastes. Influence the music I liked, people discover music on their own or follow the trend, Home live was classical music, less of a decision.
What musical genre do you think is under-appreciated?
Who is your favorite artist associated with your genre.
Classical composer: Loved Maurice ravel, early 20 century. R&B: Two years ago: Michael Jackson, Steve wonder, Cee lo green. Hip-Hop: Kanye west. Tying to listen to older album. Kayne lyrics juxtapose sounds and like cee lo green. Layering. Indie Bands: the national, Andrew bird, (interesting sounds), the desimistis.
Who your favorite artist not associated with your genre
I heard you listened to kanye’s west album. Tell me you’re thought on it as a whole.
Sonic atmosphere, sounds, creates a narrative, boasting him and bitterness, self-loathing. Figure is polarizing. Kanye west is a the best or Is he. Kayne west uses auto tunes to great effects enhances his music whiles most do it just because. Which arbitrary. Artistic vision
Have you heard of Chris Brown? If yes what do you think of his music and lyrics?
Yes, haven’t listened to his music.
Have you heard of Big Sean? If yes what do you think of his music and lyrics?
Have you heard of Trya. If yes what do you think of his music and lyrics
Have you heard of Eminem. If yes what do you think of his music and lyrics
As you become older do you believe that the music genre has turned into with no message?
What songs or artist do you believe that young people need to hear or would appeal to them. Why?
Thank you for your time
