What do you look for in good music?

IP: 2372 BC06

Well just like what do you look for in music that makes it good to you. Personally I look at how they flow. The lyrics first of all, I need their lyrics to be lyrical/true if it's about gangsta shit I aviod the lyrics and spit my own rhymes if I like the beat, specially with my friends, most of em listen to wack shit. But anyway how bout y'all?

Definately heres mine no specific order coz they all add up:

1.A good beat
2.A flow that goes with the beat
3.Good lyrics to accompany that flow

I wanna hear something that every other artist isnt sayin, like metaphors that havent been refered to already

fuck'a good beat, i half decent beat can still make me appreciatte the track.
"good" in the ear of rap these days is a dre beat.

A good track to me isnt a 50 cent track, more a canabis track.
100 bars has a half decent beat and it shits on a in da club or piggy bank which have a "good" beat.

yup.

Your talking about good 'rap'.. Not good 'music'..

Music is personal expression, I try and understand where the writer of the song is comming from and whether I can relate to what their getting accross be it a deep message or just a representation of a culture or artform..

Hell man I can even enjoy pop music and RnB...

I guess overall, I like music that I can really get into the vibe of... If a songs got it, then I dont care what genre it is, I'll be crankin it...
