genius is a highly subjective term. One guys genius is another guys bag of shite. |

There's no such thing as "genius". |

I used to take piano lessons as far back as I can remember - Both my parents teach music... I still didn't find it easy to come up with melodies I liked - I always used to be playing the same kinds of things in the same keys and everything... Learning a little Jazz theory, from a book, DEFINETLY helped a lot though - After a while you don't even need to be aware of keys/chords anymore - It's like you go full circle and all the theory and rules disappear again... I think it's quite Zen, because the more you 'know' the less you have to think... I'd definetly call RJ a genius - It's one thing to be able to write music like his, but it's another to be the one who invents it in the first place... And I'd say he's written some of the best melodies in any genre of music I can think of... |

it seems rude of you, mc 303 beatz, to call jivverdicker a "bag of shite." despite his bouts of crankiness, he's often generous and quite insightful. |

'Invents it'? Invents what? all RDJ's styles have been done by lots of people a long time ago... He's definately talented but he hasn't 'invented' anything. |

I am creating this post to express my agreement with what JivverDicker said. |
