«Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato
No problem Matt, the only reason I looked it up is cause I’m getting older and I thought my mind might have been playing tricks on me! Cause I sure did remember hearing Just like a black girl should. right at the end of the recording, not only...

Now of course there was ’gangster rap’ that emerged in the 70’s but from that came the ’Neo Soul’ movement which was a subset of (gangster) rap which got it’s start in the mid 80’s. In this particular genre those young kids brought back the cafe s...

There is great music in rap or R&B but this genre are (is) very difficult to do with(out) musical mastery... @mahgister, you are making my point for me. James Brown, himself used rap in his music, and in fact he was called ’Brother Rap’ in ...

@immatthewj  'While some interpretations of the song would like to see it primarily as a celebration of a drug counterculture, any pretence the phrase “Brown Sugar” is other than a reference to a black woman falls away in the final lyric of the s...

I here you Big Brother @mahgister, but this may surprise you. Today, Rap and (modern) R&B music is played not only on AM, FM internet (stations) streamers but also in different languages, all over the world. Rap and the so called (modern) R&am...

@frogman and ​​​​@mahgister  Pat Martino's El Niño and Cisco?! This is some of the best stuff I've heard in a long, long time! I like anything, with a little Spanish Tinge...Thank you both - dearly...

  The lyrics of many of these songs, especially modern Hip Hop/R&B are absolutely horrible. They are venal, vulgar, misogynistic, and disgusting. Some are just banal but there is a pretty big subset of lyrics that were unimaginable 40 years ... 
Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz?
@rwwear Thanks for introducing me/us to Madeleine Peyroux. All this time I thought she was a French Parisian singer because the youtube algorithm gave me this tune sung in French: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2m_3OQtFNc Turns out she’s from ...

@stuartk  Where does it say that Rap music doesn’t have Melody or Melodies? The Rap that I’ve had the limited amount of time to listen to not only has melodies but very good musicians backing the artist, whether live or recorded. Key word - artis...

The disintegration of speech and language depth in lyrics is not a fact about "taste" but about mind conditioning in an uneducated controlled social fabric.. I will never agree with such an over simplified statement, as I am an American Father ... 
What's the best 6NS7 tube you have tried in your Atma-Sphere MP-3 preamp?
I’ve read good things about the Linlai Elite 6SN7’s can anyone compare them to NOS Sylvania 6SN7 Bad Boys and these tubes I’ve seen on LTA’s website the Ray Tubes 6SN7 RESERVE’s? LTA is the manufacturer of the Microzotl brand audio gear.  
What's the best 6NS7 tube you have tried in your Atma-Sphere MP-3 preamp?
If you can get them, do so. One of the best in my opinion. They are better than the Sylvania VT-231 and other 2 hole Sylvania tubes as well, to me. These are killer Sylvania 6SN7GT Bad Boys tubes with bass control beyond any other tube. Nowhere w... 
What's the best 6NS7 tube you have tried in your Atma-Sphere MP-3 preamp?
@immatthewj, Matt no worries, I’m just glad the moderator’s had to good sense to leave my post alone this time. It’s very easy to get a tube you thought is a Bad Boy and it is not, and it’s just as easy to miss out on a Bad Boy because you’re und...
