I think it definetly is a way of expressing yourself etc.
like i see in my beats.
a couple weeks ago i got a girlfriend, all my beats rapidly changed to a more happy style.
a lil while later we had to broke up cause of the most stupid reason every so i was pretty mad and sad, and you could see that in the beats i made then, they where made out of anger but also out of tears.
same goes for the lyrics i write on tthe beats.

all i can say, its not that i wanna make a sad beat cause im sad at that time, but it just automatically happens. at that time i wanted to make another club banger, but what came out was a club banger that people could only cry on, ya know what i mean?

I think music breaks the language barrier. People in different countries speak different languages but music is some thing that anybody can feel I never been to middle east but I love arabian music the melodies and cords. So I think music is universal in a sense.

I honestly think though that one day Hip Hop music we have today will fade out.. and a new genre from it will be born. Just somethin I think

living without music would be a very sad life.

Aye NFX i see your from the Hawthorne area ... I got family over there n it theres a lot of Colombian ppl ... so i was just wondering are you colombian?

No. I am part Ecuadorian tho. Never been there but my father side of the fam is from there.

people began to bang on different objects, and hey!! they make different pitches of sounds, COOL!! now they start to make music, and the instruments advance as civilization advances; then people just started to love them, a clear pitch of a particular sound and rhythum is very appealing to the ear

 both of them right in ma opinion,  culture create music, for example 
my country is bahrain and it has many Rhythms that many people know it through it , we use arabic percussion which discover dem through africans discoveries. 
however , old people have created new Rhythm called FEJERY which it comes from 
diving journeys for pearls.
 
also turkish , its located between europe nd middle east
they re famous wid western rhythm nd the arabic melodies. 

anyway, im tryin to say that both of them re right in ma opinion.

i think that music is an expression of how a person lives, feels, thinks, dreams and so forth...

imagine how you feel when somebody says something so perfectly....and it's what you have always wanted to say but you could never put it into words....

that's what makes music so special...when a person who is talented to take his or her feelings and express them so well...and when so many other people can relate to that..because that is what THEY feel as well....


that is what makes music so spectacular to me...and that's how it can reach across so many boundaries that have been put up over the years...


yep yep

music is an amazing way to express yourself and release stress from your daily life.  how do i know this?
im fifteen thats how...

so true man u 15 too

es todo

nice blog Nfx ,I think that music is a true form of art and expresses the feelings and the lifestyle of the artists. "They say music can alter moods and talk to you......But music is reflection of self, we just explain it" Eminem-Sing for the moment.Peace

I often wonder about this, and wonder why you relate to a particular music (notice relate not like) and i think its relating to a genre/band/rapper whatever which makes you like it.
Considerin my background, it makes no sense that i relate to any rapper really. i listen and relate to jay-z, but culturally that makes no sense, im middle class and from england and live a comfortable life, so why do i relate to an American from a very poor background who used to divulge in criminal activity to earn money.
music goes way deeper than culture i think, its your true emotion
ive kinda gone off topic, but i find things like this really interestin
great blog, thanks nfx

My theory is that (speaking of party/boasting-raps) is that no matter what they say about hiphop being dea, is that it really is going back to the roots now (people are just blind!), club-hiphop is the one style that sells nowadays... ain't that party/boasting-raps? The only thing is that the musical sounds (such as synthesizers, instruments, effects, technology etc...) are more modernized in 2000's than it was in the 1980's. Just check the other facts too... the 80's are coming back! Many people are trying to bring that old school-feeling into a new school-twist, Adidas are big and fashionable again, but more modern, the influences of electro-house (which is itself house influenced by electro funk = old school hiphop) is sure some aspects of my theory, that... hiphop-music ain't growing apart from the culture... it's finding itself back!

every musical era eventually completes a route that usually comes round to incorporate and emulate previous eras. music like styles eventually come round to the past, of course there are new twists included, which in turn modifies our music.

I love the beat and rythm and melody of a song, if it doesn't please my own ear I don't listen to it.

Culture brews music and that music explains that which cannot be explained via words alone. That's my feeling and opinion. I'm very eclectic in my music tastes and every corner of the world has something that stirs the soul and inspires through music alone.

A world without music is a dead world. ;)

music chage as time goes on , it doesnt even matter even in cultures music chage .... so this ish can relate to hip hop like it chages a whole new duff generation comes in
