Where have all the Rock groups gone, gone to??????

Welcome all u late nite music creatures of the night, I hope there are some of u out there curious about where music is heading. I wonder after watching the Grammys, the AMA's (that is the American Music Awards), where has  "real" music gone, lyrics, originality, etc.
Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Lady Ga Ga, thats not music its glorified pop garbage, tonight my rant is with Rock, I don't understand why we have no true Rock artists. The Alternative groups r good but that genre is fading Heavy Metal has disappeared along with Grunge however groups like;  Pearl Jam,Kings of Leon, The Muse, give us hope, the Indie bands r cool, again remember The Who, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Queen, those Rock bands were Artists, get the picture? I have to admit growing up on LI in my High School years rock was not on my playlist, as I grew up I matured and my music tastes expanded. I fell into the 80's with Depeche Mode, The Cure, U2, Duran Duran, and more.............. and more they were all cool, U2 has lasted but they are almost past their prime they will continue to put albums, etc. but its time for a new era of some form of Rock and Roll to emerge from the ashes. I hope for musics sake that it will take a turn for the better so that Rock purists will be proud and so my rants can be tempered and I will have to keep my mouth shut but that will not happen here in music land where all music all genres  are fair game for me, DJ Jimmyz I will speak my mind whenever I want, Good night all, Peace Love and Rock and Roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rap and Roll into tomorrow!!! Hip Hop for All!!

Greetings music lovers, I am here on the late night Mothership an off shoot from the Parliament Funkadelic era, along w/ the main funkster, George Clinton. This is my Mothership, my home base,this is where the grooves flow and the ideas r mixed up and spread throughout the music sphere, ru on board with my concept? Tonight I feel like going back to Rap, the Old Skool style ala, Public Enemy, Run DMC, EPMD, LL Cool J, Krs-One, Mobb Deep, I know there are more who were the pioneers of Rap so I acknowledge all those artists who paved the Rap path for the likes  of today's masters of Rap; Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, TI, Young Jeezy, Nas, Eminem, Drake, etc. get the picture ? When Rap started there was feeling, cool lyrics, a statement, some vulgarity but not over the top. What happened? Rap like Sports and Entertainment has gotten way out of hand and over saturated making the product boring. The Old Skool Rappers owe it to today's artists to set them straight, politics, racial injustice, etc. are cool to rap about, and all the other issues can be used but don't abuse. Too many artists and not enough quality make for  dull and overused Rap not enough creativity. I guess what I am trying to say is Old Skool  no matter what genre will always be there now it needs to make a comeback with new Artists we can say Old Skool Rap w/a twist, a new flava (get it?) A new idea on an Old fave.
I believe I have ventured into the archives of Rap and tried to get out the message about the  Rap genre, lets take Rap into the 21st century with style and flair giving props to the Pioneers of Hip Hop, U know how we used to roll, can u feel my groove all u hipsters, funksters, and grooveaholics? Remember to take a ride into the stratosphere of music  when the sun goes down "The freaks come out at night"! (remember the song?)
My name is DJ Jimmyz and u have entered my world so now its time to sign off, Peace, Love and Soul to the  Music Universe :-)

Bring on the Funk!!!

Greetings music lovers, Please allow me to introduce myself, I am DJ Jimmy and this is my spin on all music all the time.
Tonight lets go back somewhere in the late 1970's-1980's a time when groups like; The Gap Band, The BarKays, and Lakeside were mainstream on the R&B stations they called their music Funk predicated on a groovy bass line. My question  to all u hipsters, and funksters from back in the day is where did this music genre disappear to? Lets think on that for a moment and I will return, I promise. Holla back and let me know
DJ Jimmy :-)
