Been putting together a live hip-hop group over the past couple of months & writing some original music. We have myself (bass), drummer, saxophonist, guitarist & keyboardist whom I really like playing music with. However, I am really not a fan of our vocalist who is really into the new-school trap style, whereas I'm much more of a fan of the old-school boom bap style. My good friend who plays the drums is kinda the de-facto leader of the band & I approached him about possibly getting rid of the vocalist & looking for someone new, but he doesn't want to let them go. At the moment I'm finding I don't really want to continue being in this band with this current vocalist, & it's basically sapped my enthusiasm for the group dry, but am unsure if I really want to quit it as I don't wanna disappoint my drummer friend.
Anyone got any suggestions on what the best course of action might be?

No but seriously, a trap rapper with a live hip hop group sounds awful, and if the de-facto leader can't see that, I'd bounce if I were you. It will only get trappier.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Can't really see the situation magically getting any better. Just finding the busy, funky bass style that I enjoy playing doesn't work with this shit & I'm being asked to water-down my playing style a little too often for my liking.

The thing about me is I don't really care what the vocalist does for the most part & am not the type of person who over-analyses what they do or say. It's just when it starts affecting the actual music that I take notice.

Fuck the labwork I'm currently doing. The road to results is an erratic one, a true mercurial serpentine. There's so many steps where errors can appear that even going back to find the errors is a job on its own where more mistakes can be made. Zephyrus would call my current course a downward spiral for sure.

Labwork, you say? You think you could do some experiments and testing and cook me up something to give me Albert Wesker powers? That'd be nice...
