POP! What is it good for?

 Is pop music real? does it exist?

Well yeah it exists but why? Exploring my favourite past time lists. I watched so many end of year worst hit songs of the year and expectedly, I knew very little as I hate hit songs. Put more than that. I know these are the worst of the worst but why? how did some of these songs pass quality control of a record label?

The artists on these lists are not new people, these are seasoned artists on major labels. Yeah artists I hate but still; Drake, Lil Wanye & Nicki Manj, and thats just on one song. How does music with weak production, misogynous lyrics and just poor all rounds, become popular. Don't give a voice to these people. Ignore them. How is Chris Brown still allowed to make music? He is a women beater and still produces songs, claiming he sleeps with X amount of ladies and Y amount of money. This formula is old. Really old. It has been used by so many people, you probably couldn't manage to fit them all on a double album.

The reason I say a double album because that was a medium used by bands who had artist merit, who had music that was thought about & who put blood, sweat and tears into everything that they did. Yes It doesn't take a double album to show you are credible but it shows ambition; any of these artists above have none of that their music sounds bored rigid.
