Album Review, Baroque Treasuries- “Violin Concertos” by Bach

Everything in this album sounds clear, crisp, and pure.  Whenever we hear rap on the radio that’s less than pleasing to guys who actually have taste there’s a good chance we’ll listen to music from that genre which is spidery, disjointed, and obscure.  How can rappers just go on singing and dancing and playing music while having total assumption of entertainment?  Certainly we’re on a lot of classic music with this album.  Yet, it must also be stated that there’s classic rap; a word like “rap” in the history of the English language used to refer to knocking on the door or giving a formal discussion.  As such classic music and classic rap really go beyond knocking on the door these days.  Trust me rappers; when you’re going spoken and leave it to all the vibes and such, I think you’d better understand your own words and not simply, merely know them.  Of course “rapping” is terribly meaningful.  I bet rappers that people can’t stand their music unless they’re moving around like idiots who can’t keep still for the just desserts.  Give me Bach!  I’ll be quiet, reserved, and thoughtful.  Bach’s music can be flowery on the violin because such a musical instrument requires more steadfast concentration, exquisite to taste of intellect and reflex, as its cords get tugged on by a specialized rod.  What do rappers know of consciousness?  So many sounds bounce off their lips before anything is understood.  Using metaphors all the time can put rappers in this position where, through and through, lyrics are said so much that words can’t be expressed in absence of numbness; the case is evident when rappers are tearing off clothes, swearing to themselves over ignorance and doubt, and I’m not sure if there’s anything left in their language which a toothpick can wipe off.  I guess there’s bad rap today going beyond what’s expected from knocking on the door.  Give them a party; they’ll bust down the door, break expensive mirrors, fight over skin colors.  Anything in “Violin Concertos” resembles something else entirely.  We’re talking about a period when classic music appealed to the masses and got praised by critics with philosophy for an apple.  Music fans today may be looking at themselves with stained eyes.  Classic music like Bach’s here is a thrill lovers can withhold for pleasure as opposed to procrastination, since beats are built into vibes and don’t get tangled up from nonsense hanging in the air on the part of haters who appeal to unproductive noise.  And maybe there’s rap which is better for the mind than true colors seen and lived for in nature.
