I have been a sound engineer since 2000. My first clients at Studio 5.1 recorded rap/hip-hop music. Even before that time as I worked at other studios in the San Diego area, I recorded artists looking to be the next “rap star.” My experience with rap music in general has lead me to the conclusion that I no longer wish to record rap music.

I make no secret of my feelings towards rap music in hopes to combat the desires of those who wish to engage in making rap music in hopes that they will choose a more noble course in their lives.

The following are reasons and rationale why I have decided to discontinue recording rap music:

1)The lyrics of rap music are degrading to women (and therefore degrading to the men who use such language in their lyrics), they are unabashedly vulgar, they glorify an unhealthy level of materialism, and greed that perpetuates selfish, ego stroking content that is completely counter-productive in society.

Women are precious and deserve respect. Rap music not only degrades women, but falsely teaches women that in order to obtain acceptance from a man they must be a promiscuous, one-dimensional waste of a person.

Vulgar language makes up almost 50% of the total lyrical content of rap music. Most often this vulgarity is part of the mistreatment and sexualization of women or in promoting violence to one another.  Read more...

Most of the popularly known guitars are: acoustic, bass, electric. Though there are others like: banjo, steel guitar, Hawaiian guitar and many others. For our current purpose, we are just to stick to the top three.

Acoustic guitars are the most preferred guitars for beginners because of their ease of operation. Under the acoustic, we can further drill down. The acoustic electrical, which has a body similar to that of an acoustic, but does not have the sound hole (because it is electric).

Timber casement and box sash windows are becoming an increasingly popular choice for replacement windows when undertaking renovation projects and also the favoured option for windows in new house builds. Below are some compelling reasons why they should be seriously considered for your home renovation or building project:

1. Aesthetically the properties of timber windows are superior to other types of windows.

2. Due to their traditional appearance and the materials used, local planning committees much prefer timber windows to be implemented in areas of architectural interest. The traditional sash sliding timber window is still manufactured today along with many other heritage style options.

3. A huge benefit of timber windows is that they can be customised, enabling them to blend in with existing products, making them a perfect choice for both replacement windows and extensions. Handles, fasteners, locks and restrictors can all be supplied to match all window styles.

4. As they can be far more easily repaired than the pvc windows we see everywhere, they will have an increased lifespan and as a result are the perfect investment choice – if looked after accordingly.

5. For those more caring buyers who are conscious of the environment, timber windows are a sensible choice due to the material’s sustainability. Accreditations are carried by many of the timbers used in the manufacturing industry to certify they come from a reputable and sustainable source.
