I have a weakness for music since Ive studied it for a great deal of my young life. I am not a big fan of country music or rock so those stations dont have a spot on my 6 station buttons in my car. My radio is full with my 3 favorite stations: XL 106.7, Power 95.3 and 102 Jamz. I had a MP3 which I used on a regular base in the car for a year because I was getting tierd of the constant slide downward in music on these stations. The greats were being replaced by the imposters who "claimed" they were insierd by the classics only to have horrible songs that reflected horribly on the hip-hop, rap and (surprisingly ) R&B community. Well my music player was stolen so Ive had to resort to radio to keep me from bordom in the car. I was reminded nothing changed when I was finding myslef changing station to station. I even had to resort to rock and now I like the beetles (haha). But in the last moth something intresting has happend. I belive this is due to an amazing vocalist by the name of Alicia Keys. Other R&B artists have contributed to this matter but I believe she has started a change in the hip-hop community for the better. Those song which have gained  notoriety in the hip-hop community have been slowly dissapearing and the classics like Luaren Hill, Fugees and amoung other have been slowly appearing on these stations. It is also refelcted in the new music that has been making its way over the radio. More songs about life, real life, real people and real situations are abundant now than ever before. If you are not used to these stations then you might not hear the diffrence but trust me it is there. I belive that there is a great and silent movement and the hip-hop community is being changed for the better. They are going back to the foundations and dropping a lot of their nonsense. R&B and Soul is taking over and it shows that the fans want a change because these new songs are highly requested. Its about time.
