For Gentlemen Only

I think it's a mark of maturity to be able to accept that you live in a world where Justin Bieber, Soulja boy, or (insert artist whose music you dont like) exists.

Some people would have you believe that the world is going to end because people like Lil Wayne exist. They say how terrible things are and "wish things were how they were back then."

I don't understand the logic behind this because there's always been art that has been considered wack. It's existed back in the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and it still exists now. That's just a function of art. Not everyone is going to like every piece of art. Everyone has different tastes in art because it's all subjective.

So to complain about how bad things are and wish bad on people simply because they listen to or make art that you don't enjoy is very immature. We should be able to take a deep breath, realize that not everyone has the same taste in art, and keep it pushing.

Also, note that if this applies to the Soulja Boy and Lil Waynes of the world, it still has to apply to less controversial artists like Adele, Little Brother and A Tribe Called Quest.
