According to Webster....
"Talent" - 4 a: a special often creative or artistic aptitude b: general intelligence or mental power : ability
If I see the word "FEATURING" much more in the BILLBOARD MUSIC CHARTS, then I'll be DONE listening to the RADIO forever!!! Wanna know why nobody is BUYING music anymore? CUZ THERE'S NO 'MUSIC' WORTH SPENDING MONEY ON! The word "Featuring" is listed no less than 9 times in the top 20 songs this week. NINE! Apparently no one is talented enough to complete a cohesive song by themselves. LAME! Get some skillz! I know it's just the current craze for the past few years... same years of declining sales and increased piracy online. Who wants to PAY CASH for the same cheap 2 measure Drum loop remixed over and over and over again, except with a new vocalist that is beeped out most of the time? And enough with that CLAP SOUND already. I can admit, I do like a nice wide vareity of music and the computerized clap sound definitly has it's place, but..... EVERYWHERE? I turned on our local pop station and heard 10 songs in a row with just that abused clap sound on the upbeat. Give it a rest, Timbaland! Find the snare samples in your Native Instruments Komplete software.... I GUARENTEE you will find about 150 differnt snare and beat sounds that sound better than that stale over used clap. Heck, I've got a PS2 music VIDEO GAME capable of making better music than the pointless looped crap people are mistaking for music. THANKS RECORD COMPANIES FOR TRYING TO TELL US WHAT WE LIKE.
I yearn for the day when I see a song in the top 10 that says: by An Actual Artist >>FEATURING<< "Talent"
