Hami seems to get more bitter and grumpy for each day, and I dont refer to the image above! In one of his latest interviews with Nasim Marashi, Hami justified the publishing of “Maahie Deltang” on his latest album despite the Sarfaraz brothers’ protest by arrogantly phrasing “we did it just to show that we can”! Furthermore Hami continued by claiming that Benyamin and his music are long gone from people’s memories since his music was not qualitatively timeless. He also attacked the RAP music and its fans in Iran by saying that it is listened to by careless and decadent youths! He suggests that our culture is being subject to erosion through the carelessness of the music industry and even blame music for the growing drug addiction amongst the younger population! He argues that people’s standard and taste have been severely lowered, so much that they don’t recognise and crave quality music anymore but rather disposable music of computers and synthesisers. However Hami also pointed out that not all people have hit rock bottom with their taste in music, otherwise no one would know him or Mani Rahnama! He protests that the era of “6&8” and (I quote) “Shadmher-baazi” is over! You cant bring people peace of mind through “shaad” and uplifting music!
I dont know what to say, all I know is that I’m liking Hami less the more I hear him expressing himself! Soon to be fallen completely from grace in my eyes!
