It's a Recession Dummies

I haven't bought music in like four months. Money isn't the reason or maybe it is. You see, in a recession everyone's discretionary spending decreases. Factors like inflation and gas prices can contribute to you having less money to buy things like movies, music, and gifts. Now with that in mind like most people I can afford a 12 dollar CD or 10 bucks for some I-Tunes but is there really anything out there worth buying? If you're not a screaming air headed fan is the music being produced lately worth your hard dollars? Also, like most people I want to relate to what I am hearing through my speakers or earphones. Can we really relate to Plies "I got plenty money"? The black community has a staggering 13 percent unemployment rate but we're still hearing songs about rims and and rubber bands. I think rap is the only genre that lives in a vacuum when it comes to reality. I don't think you'll hear Linda Ronstadt singing about her mansion during a recession. So how about some song about getting a job or paying rent? It's only a matter of time before the fans look for music that relates and then guess what Plies will be doing? Looking for a job.
