I like it. It's like country, if people do not share my interest, that is fine.

Electronic music promotes people who otherwise would not be talented enough to produce good music. This allows those who control the music industry to promote people based on image and not talent. RAP is promoted by those who control the music industry to reinforce to black people that the white man is keeping them down. Both issues are examples of Anti-Whiteism. It is not that they simply do not share white iinterests, they are being actively programmed to hate whites.

I'm an electronic music producer and I'll be the first to say... we're not real musicians. I don't consider myself a real musician like a traditional guitarist or pianist, although I do create music with a DAW, synths, drum machines, and even a guitar from time to time. I consider the computer to be my instrument, it's amazing the sounds you can create all by yourself without a band or anything. But having said that, electronic music in general doesn't have the soul that human played instrumentation has, so I understand people's hesitation towards it. And conversely, you can't create music these days without these tools even if you can shred. That's all the electronics are - tools just like a guitar or some pots and pans.

I think what's more important than how you make the sounds, it why you make the sounds. To me this is more deterministic if something is music. If you operate from a place of greed and materialism, you'll probably make some shit ass rap song. If you operate from a place of beauty and truth, you might make something really beautiful that actually connects with someone - irregardless of how it was created. This is what separates music from shit IMO.

Knowing this, I try to incorporate live instrumentation into my work as to breath life into it, so it doesn't sound so soulless and digital. As I kid I was total enamored by electronic music. As I get older, I crave the story telling and warmth of old country songs (I've been eating up Fred Eaglesmith recently). So I've been trying to learn guitar, traditional music theory, and songwriting to incorporate into my electronic work in hopes of bringing the soul to it.

Music is a journey, and while I agree that a lot of contemporary electronic types often lack talent and soul. It also opens up new avenues of expression to people who may not take naturally to traditional instruments, and therefore is valid. You can check my music out on spotify, let me know if it's any good.

Beyond that... rap is for nogs.

Electronic music can be good. Skinny Puppy, Ministry, KMFDM, they all mix instruments with electronic sounds.

Old school rap was alright, cypress hill, nwa, ect.

The new shit, is just that, shit. If I hear auto-tone I shut that shit off.

For the most part, electronic music can't hold a candle to instruments.

You can't find music with more soul, than big band blues, with brass, strings and percussion instruments.

Rap == Crap. Electronic music is just another kind of talent. It's not like playing an instrument kind of talent, but still a talent. I know this because I have done both, was good at neither.

It lacks life or 'feeling'. Just like a singer will hit notes and vary notes by fractions of seconds and use emphasis when they sing the next notes to create interest and feeling is better than auto-tune. Overly digitized lacks life.
