A little kid could not make those beats sorry to say. In fact i would be surprised if you could make a good pop song (not trying to start shit  )
I personally cant staaand country music and just because they have live musicians with a non 4 on the floor groove dosent mean i should like it. That wont stop me from appreciating what they do and pick out melodies or other things i like and learn from it as a musician. If someone is listening to country in their car and im in the back seat i wont think "oh god not this stupid booring shit". Ill actually listen to it knowing its not my thing but will try to enjoy it any way i can. Open minded comes to mind. Why should pop music be any different?
As a musician/engineer im glad to be open to other kinds of music and it actually helps mine as well.
Did i mention tic toc is a song i just hate with a passion. HATE!!!!! Other pop songs are usually not as bad. |
Yep, that is exactly what I mean.
