You mean Artists that are talented, but can't write and perform their own music ?
They're not Musicians Ego... They are Artists because they mix samples from the 70's, 80's and 90's and then add new lyrics... They're talented, but they are not Musicians
"they mix samples from the 70's, 80's and 90's and then add new lyrics... They're talented, but they are not Musicians". Isn't that they same thing rappers do? If you are that talented, write your own melodies.... like they did in the 70's, 80's and 90's.
^ They can't.
Rappers are lyricists, kinda, NOT musicians, unless you follow Frank Zappa's philosophy of 'all noise is music' ... then I guess you could consider scratching music. I don't.
Anybody remember " The Jets " - The Family Band that migrated from Tonga and made it pretty big in the 80's with songs like :
Crush on you
Curiosity
Make it real
Cross my broken heart
Private Number
Rocket 2 U
Well the band has dwindled in size, but Moana, Eddie, Kathy and Natalia form The Jets these days , and Elizabeth - the former lead singer - makes some guest appearances ...
Here they are singing " Crush on You " some 37 years later from its original release back in 1984...
October London is dope!
The first time I heard him, I could have sworn I was listening to some unreleased Marvin Gaye.
And I'm not a huge country fan, but Chris Stapleton is awesome.
