What is this shit?!

I am an avid music listener. As are most people. What I don't get is the crap that flows through the airwaves and into me ears! While I do appreciate songs that can induce a good time, I can't seem to grasp the popularity of some of this crap.

I'm relatively open to music, but I am able to tell within mere seconds of hearing a song whether or not I like it. This is the usual case.

Drake's hit song Best I ever had, took some time to grow on me. And as of now, I still continue to drift in the area of uncertainty when it comes to liking this song. I hear it everywhere, so I just end up sitting through it. In the end, I really do not think this tune is something of earth shattering proportions.

When I listen to hiphop I tend to be more drawn to a more complex array of beats and sounds behind the vocals. Some of these artists, in my opinion are just not delivering. :(

A song that seemed to have hit the spot most recently is Jiggaaa's "Empire State of Mind." Jay seems to have no problem shelling out anthems that make audiences jam along as though they're a part of the magic. Throw back to Izzo! They don't call him one of the greats for nothing.
