When you think of music, you tend to think of how it makes you feel. Music provides us with the soundtrack to our everyday life. Avid music listeners can place times and dates to particular songs that are significant to parts of their lives. The content of music since the beginning of time has been the most important factor in its existence. For instance, remember that time you were down and out and this song came on that related to your situation. It actually felt like the song understood what you were going through. This is what makes music so powerful to each and every culture.

But what happens when music loses its most important factor the content. Have you heard the different genres of music lately? It seems as if everyone is talking about money and sex! Well the labels are not looking for uninqueness anymore, but looking for the next one hit wonder. It seems as if Hip-Hop is taking the biggest hit lately. Record sales are down 25% since the year 2000. A lot of people blame it on the new digital era, because music is now consumed over the internet legally and illegally. Though these may be factors, the truth is that the artist plane out "stink" right now. Everyone is copying each other, its like a never ending cycle to become a one hit wonder. The music is lacking content and there no one who respects the culture anymore. We are not supporting the underground artist who talk about real issues and actually help preserve the culture of Hip-Hop. I wonder will this culture die and grow again like a beautiful flower or is this another Disco all over again.
