Is Anthony Hamilton Too Much a Throwback?
December 19th, 2008
Hip-hop has always for the most part, being a young person’s game. Eventually, listeners grow out of it and start yapping about the good ole’ days. I’ve always thought that R&B had a longer shelf life. Well that was until, it started mimicking 21st century mainstream hip-hop both in of production and lyrical paucity.
So when R&B crooner Anthony Hamilton told Associated Press, that maybe he’s “too real,” when explaining why he’s constantly underrated, I can feel his pain. “Right now we’re living in a time that’s youth driven, hip-hop based. I’m not old (but) my music sometimes comes across a little mature,” Hamilton said. “Maybe they’re afraid of that, maybe I might say the wrong thing, (like) something positive.”
That makes me root for him even more. But that’s just me. Do you think Anthony Hamilton’s music is too throwback? Listen to his new album here.
IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE HELL YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!!
I love Anthony Hamilton, and I love his music. His music is honest, pure, soulful, just some good ol music we can understand, and we can feel every word. In the 70’s music had a message it told a story, you had Marvin Gaye, Teddy P, Ojays, Earth Wind and Fire, etc…. so no, definitely not throwback just great music that feeds the soul. We need real R&B, not teeney bopper music. Something that has substance and meaning and that’s what we have with Mr. R&B Soul-Anthony Hamilton. Anthony keep bringing it, I’m fan and a friend.
