Music Corner: Should artist dumb down their lyrics?

It is apparent that these days consist of music that does not require you to say much. I believe that it has its place but music that actually has depth to it should be appreciated as well. People are so captivated by a beat that the words don't have to have any meaning to them, as long as they rhyme and ride the beat its okay for listeners. At a club or party this is acceptable because nobody wants to decipher lyrics while their dancing having a good time. When your not doing all that partying tho, music with substance should come in place. Some people party all day, they are excluded aha.

This fascination with not caring what the artist is saying is hurting the music business somewhat because the result finds artist dumbing down their style to appeal to what the people want. It may produce sells at one point but the problem is that most the time that type of music is what I call "in the moment" music. That means your hot today but tomorrow we won't know who you are. Some artist may find themselves in that position then try to go back to the style that made them start doing music in the first place but by then its too late, we already see you as the artist the industry molded.

START OVER KING: Trust?

Talking to a close friend today we came across the topic of trust. To add more detail the question we asked each other was "should one should put all their trust into someone as soon as they meet them?". We all are familiar with mutual trust, that usually comes with first meetings more or less. What we mean is full trust. My friend insisted that no, no one should put all their trust into someone after they first meet them because you don't know anything about the other person and there is no telling how that person may be based off a couple of sit-downs.

I myself believe that yes, you should trust someone you first meet, wouldn't you want them to trust you? Now if someone seems like the fishy type or sends you bad vibes you might want to be on your toes with that one but if the person seems okay then I don't see why not trust them. I don't mean leave them with your little brother or anything of that sort but I mean believing what that person says, that is unless it sounds too far fetched and all the things on par with first meetings. Some might say what i'm speaking on is mutual respect but i'm talking one notch higher. You may hurt yourself if you greet everyone you meet with a "dont trust anyone" attitude.
