The Coup
Now, I didn't grow up in Detroit, but i find all this 'electronic' music is
just an outlet to dance geared towards young white males that dont know any
better then to go to 'raves' with artists there that churn out mindless
amounts of repetitive drivel. I find electronic music to be complete crap.
Obviously, the days of creativity have run out. Its all just 4/4 beats and
cheezy samples and THAT IS IT. Heh, sorry for the sarcasm, I felt it was
necessary to point out that just about every type of music is filled to the
brim with crappy artists. You are not going to hear the tightest rap songs
on MTV, just as you are not going to hear the best electronic music on
commercial radio. It just don't work like dat.
Much love,

PS - 'booty' is spelled with a 'y'.
