That's because, broadly, they do. I'll admit even my favorite bands always sound like themselves to a degree. You have to dig into music to appreciate what's there. Take Bjork for example. She's done wildly different albums, but many people will only hear her voice and file her music under Whacky Iceland Chick.
What I wonder about is why there are so few Stevie Wonders, John Lennons and Joni Mitchells, and so many Nickelbacks, Avrils and other such entertainers (I certainly wouldn't call them artists.) Lauren Hill is one of the few people that have even come close to approaching vintage Stevie, at least that the average person might have a chance of hearing.
The thing that amazes me is that the big record companies have to be shooting themselves in the foot promoting the schlocky musicians. Who the hell is going to think twice about downloading that stuff for free if they want it? Personally I hope they all go out of business like Tower Records.
My last band has sold over a million cd's and I made less money from those than I do now in two months. Everyone gets paid before the musicians. We make our money playing live. Maybe if the profits disappear from middle of the road music, the stuff won't be shoved down the throats of the masses. I swear when I was a kid, my older brother and sister were getting exposed to everything. The Bobby Shermans and Mac Davises were there, but nobody was freaking out about them like kids do today about...i don't know...pick your Disney sensation.
Can anybody help me find a video by a black high school girl where she's the class nerd, but tears it up with her performance? I just spent 30 minutes trying to locate it; I originally saw it on pitchfork. She's damn good.

Ya'll are funny! If the thread means nothing to you, pass it over, start your own thread about TS! Hell! you can shoot somebody and we can all talk about you! And please stop with the psycho-babble about hip hop. Dumb shit happens everywhere. All you have to do is get off your computers and look outside, if you dont see the dumb shit, your it! It's never ok for someone to get shot, but the shit happens, and when it does hopefully the shooter is caught and brought to justice.

The rapper - who reportedly once worked at McDonalds - is known for his lightning-fast delivery in such hit songs as "Overnight Celebrity" and "Slow Jamz," his collaboration with Jamie Foxx and Kanye West. He has used profanity and referenced drugs in some of his lyrics.
In a July 30 statement, McDonalds spokesman William Whitman said "Although we respect free speech and artistic expression, we do not condone or perpetuate derogatory language. We want to ensure these free concerts are fun as well as appropriate for all of our customers."
Speaking to the Associated Press, Twista said the decision came as a surprise, "especially after hearing from certain people that represented McDonalds that they were fans of the music and they were excited about the whole thing and that they backed me, and then to hear a few days later that I was actually not on the show."
Twista said he typically cleans up his lyrics for all-ages shows, and intended to do so for his scheduled August 7 appearance in his home town of Chicago.

I'm not really a big fan of rap myself, but I notice how none of the exceptionally talented artists (same goes with other genres) are never publicized. You're always hearing about your 50s and your [insert crappy rapper]s, especially when they have run-ins with the law but you never hear about positive (talented) artists like Mos Def, The Roots, Del the Funky Homosapien, Murs, and others I can't think of at the moment.
It's not denial. I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

It could have been 25 with all her convictions. I'm not saying she got off easy, but it could have been a lot worse. The judge probably considered her kid who will be without his mom until he's a teenager
if she behaves, she'll be out in less than 5 yrs
