Do I approve of the message? Maybe not. I can still appreciate other aspects of it. It’s 50/50. Let’s use Chris Brown(ew rap) as an example. The instrumentals in his latest album are [i]fuego,[/i] and I mean [b][i]fuego.[/i][/b] They nice. However, the lyrics are all rotten and/or superficial and meaningless. So not good. Also, a song being “good” is totally subjective and based on listener preference. [quote] are [b]your[/b] morals questioned by listening to such a song? [/quote] Depends why I’m listening. Going back to that example, I would only ever listen to any of Chris Brown’s stuff to analyze the beats so I can improve my craft. Not for enjoyment. I feel slimy listening to his stuff anyway. [quote] Would [b]you[/b] share the song if it is enjoyable however morally wrong? [/quote] Again, depends why I’m sharing it. If it’s a “hey, check out all the nuances that the producer worked into the beat” then yeah I’m fine with sharing it. It’s a learning experience. But if it’s a “Hey, that bar where he talks about how he -blam!- -blam!- his -blam!- girl and -blam!- [b]-BLAM BLAM BLAM!!!!-[/b]” Ya know? That I would not be fine with. [quote] Would [b]you[/b] want to meet the artist(s)? [/quote] No. But if I see them and actually recognize them, might snap a photo anyway, just to flex.
