REVEALED : JOKATE CONFIRM THAT SHE IS ALI KIBA'S LOVER....CLICK HERE TO SEE WHAT SHE WROTE


If you are a keen music lover, you’ve probably realized that the number of quality hits has been at an all-time low this year. Kenyan music is dwindling to deplorable levels as we sit, listen and watch. It’s hard to find creative artistes nowadays.
What we have on offer is largely disposable ‘fast food music. Back in the day, the music industry was controlled by a few major producers that could pick and choose what artists they released. Yet the mass of amazing music being released and rising into mainstream perception was extraordinary.
Today anyone can download some music software to their laptop, and produce an album in the comfort of their own home at zero cost, using professional tools they could only dream of 10-20 years ago. They can upload it to sites like Youtube, iTunes, Facebook, reaching an underground audience at zero cost.
So where did all the art go?
Strangely there is precious little music released today that has any depth, quality, or originality to it. It’s not that producers are suppressing good artists, or that it’s impossibly expensive to get ahead in the creative world—it’s that artists are producing shit and the general public is lovin’ it.

Performing Seals

It’s wrong to call today’s performers artists in the true sense of the word. They are neither suffering for their art, nor conveying any kind of lasting message about the human condition. They are mere circus animals trotting out neat little ditties that come and go and need constant replacement. You can never replace Eric Wainaina or Daudi Kabaka. But you can replace Octopizzo quite easily
In the past, artists had to make real sacrifice to produce great material, but today you can just fire up a laptop and you are an instant singer/ song writer / producer,
Flagrant Copycatting
Kenyan music has a complete lack of scruples when it comes to originality. Sure, plagiarism is in the culture's DNA (in the form of sampling).
You'd think when a couple guys start rapping about beer, the rest of the industry might turn in another direction in order to differentiate themselves. Not so. Many Kenyan artistes are born followers, and even the most original artists among us seem to have sadly few qualms about hopping on a bandwagon. Rabbit’s Twende’ for example sounds just like a lamer version of Diamond’s ‘Kesho’
And it’s not only about artists copying each other in a mad race for pseudo art and commercial success—it’s the general public thirsty to lap up the never ending stream of musical diarrhea.

Artistes thinking they can have a career as something other than being an artiste
When exactly did music become a temporary occupation? It's one thing if musicians want to be producers or even label owners, but it's gotten to the point where beats and rhymes are only a stepping stone to people fulfilling their dreams of being a... what? Fashion designer? Radio host?.
The fact is, no one's "bigger than music." Stay in the game, make your shilling, but commit to being the best musician you can be for the rest of your life. Don’t be a Kinyanjui of all trades and a master of none
It’s all about catchy phrases
I hate this, but I understand why it’s done: Artists will make more money if people buy their songs. Their songs will be more likely to be bought if they’re popular. Songs are more likely to be popular if they’re memorable. Memorable songs result from easy to remember phrases or short, “catchy” melodies. So how do artistes ensure people will remember a song? Slap in a chorus that will make people forget about all the poorly constructed lyrics
Music has stopped being about deep content, creativity, or even meaningful lyrics, and has become a way to trick listeners into thinking they like a song because they hear it repeated so often and are essentially forced to remember it. Much like TV advertising, it’s simply a business.

Terrible Overtly Séxual Themes

Modern music is saturated with séx, and a great deal of it tends to be overtly séxual.
We are living in some futuristic séxual dystopia. A dystopia where all things séxual have been reduced to an amoral form of childish amusement, and the segment of the population who have historically been the nurturers and caregivers of a society have decided to shirk the honourable traditions of their forebears and turn feral.
It should be obvious to any discerning observer the deterioration Kenyan music has undergone in recent years. This phenomenon parallels the decline elsewhere and also feeds it; there is a reciprocal relationship with music and society-at-large.
Music is an immensely powerful force in this world—bearing this in mind, one should always be cognizant of the particular qualities of a given song, and what their potential effects may be. if people are constantly being fed lyrics such as those present in today’s hits, we’re going to end up with a generation of people with a false sense of inspired individuality.
