My plead for real art to come back and let's get rid of this fake that's attempting to make a home
Real Come Back 12/18/08 Do people write real shit anymore All about the ego no heart in their words Money done corrupted the mass Rhyming to spend till IRS is on that ass Is this what the devoted music lovers deserve Fictional characters slanging fictional bars To deny us from learning more Do people lay down real tracks anymore All about the shorties bending over degrading their worth The coupes with the batman doors, iced from the ears to the wrist to your pores Verse one, summer homes and rented jets Verse two one hit subsided, the public couldn't stomach it Verse three foreclosure notice posted on the fresh painted front door Does anyone go through real shit anymore At the club poppin bottles, who can relate to that more The artist being paid to be played or the 9-5 men and women of this world Can we gain inspiration from a verse Where did music make a wrong turn Through the hood, urban city or the corporate doors Did it run through the 90s then stopped at greed to fulfill selfish needs Do people sing real tunes anymore The real vocalist get shown no love anymore Doggy pattling to gold while the manufactured backstroking butterflying to platinum Today we have the flat note hitters with appearance on their side All you need is the physical to befriend the vocal to strive The lyrically declined robbing millions from behind To become disfigured figures Do people buy real shit anymore In a recession but overrated club bangers reaching the heights of charts Investing in the excuse why our kids can't think for theirselves anymore Record companies advancing the stereotypical on typical turf Making a stable home off the easy influenced of the world Buying time till the real shit takes reigns and direct this world Do people write real shit anymore Or the radio stations and music videos I'll have to continue to ignore Who's making my college tuition off of middle school book reports packaging it up with a bow and calling it music Hooks resembling choruses I turned off yesterday and the other day I can't accept these falsified compilations being passed off as revelations from these empty individuals anymore Does anyone care about what's being put fourth anymore Cause we need real shit to adore So I’m introducing myself to the world….

This is a writing of opinion...and versed very well. I grew up with the "originals" Motowns greatest, Diana Ross, Earth Wind & Fire, Smokey R, Mr Stevie Wonder and the fabulous Temptations! I love to listen to the OLDIES...I guess because I am old!
But I must say, I do enjoy some of the newer sounds, Kid Rock, Sade and always the new country sounds!

This is true in SO many genres of music, but I totally agree about rap-the c'rap of today bears zero resemblance to people like Run-DMC, Public Enemy, Queen Latifah, Ice-T, Yo-Yo, MC Lyte, or any of the 90's rappers-I loved rap then, wouldn't listen to it now. The same goes for rock and pop, it is all bland Britney Spears garbage. This is a great write-Michelle

Nice writing, I have been turned off latelly to most music, music as well as other things because too much is superficial....

Be always safe,

This is a well written poem.Today's music is such a joke.All these rappers talk about is bling and all the other things you mentioned.Its like they don't try to put originality and creativity in their songs.I remember when Mister Cee who is a DJ at Hot97 here in NYC said that today's music is just "ringtone music" and that's what it truly is.These rappers just make music and songs just for teenagers and young adults to put in their ringtone of their cellphone.I enjoy reading this poem and 'real" definitely needs to come back.take care
