    Amazing video! I completely agree with Dr. Fadlallah that we should be mindful of what we put into our music as artists. Words carry power and making a feel good "hit" song is more than just a catchy tune, it helps people connect. This is one of the best videos that has come up on my recommended section to date!

    This world is both good and bad.
    You cannot trump the toxic, but you can live with it in duality. All emotions are needed. That is why we have them.
    “It’s just a thought..” , then we close the book and move to the next thought.
    Sometimes it’s good to be happy. Sometimes it’s good to be mischievous. Sometimes it’s good to search for that one song that makes you want to be alone.
    They all serve purpose.

    hip hop is its own culture that was made from a African American perspective of poverty and urban life. no different than other cultures whos music comes from their perspective.

    This is exactly the ted-talk that I have been waiting for! I myself am also a hip-hop fan who has been contemplating my stance as a listener to mainstream hip hop. It has brought me a lot of new perspectives and more things to think about. He had a great stage presence and I would definitely follow any other things this man has put out. I applaud and thank you.

    I remember uPlaya, the website that used Hit Song Science. They did a feature article on me as their featured artist because my album at the time had been analyzed by their software and I had more top rated songs than Norah Jones on 'Come Away With Me.' Not sure what happened to this company though, uPlaya is no longer a functioning website.

    This is someone policing artistic freedom masked by enthusiasm and a PhD. Cultures and their music are influenced by themselves, and what he is conveying is to manipulate the artists creative freedom to push this ideology he has on how people should listen to music.

    • @interestedbystander196
      @interestedbystander196 Před 4 lety

      Agreed. Couldn't get past his statement about the "diversity in hip hop" - there is fundamentally no diversity in hip hop. The hood is the hood, and hip hop is about being in the hood, or getting out of the hood.
