As, an African-American I cannot help but see the code words in these posts
by you and David. Stick to the music and do not worry about the clothes
these people wear. Since most of you are musicians try to defend your
statements with musical vocabulary and good reasons for why you don't like
the music. You sound like a bunch of old people complaining about the
evilness of Rock N Roll.
Best Wishes,

I'm with David since 99% of the "rap" generally available falls into the
*rap variety and lofe is too short to waste it listening to overblown egos
in trousers four sizes too large.

It's very strange that you can criticise rap so generally since it's clear
from your post you don't know much about it, or at least not about SOME of
it. If someone listenes to good rap music, they might like it, or they might
still hate it. But if they understand all music they would have to admit
good rap is good regardless of whether they like it or not, and not
criticise all rap generally. Some people need to realize they don't like
some styles of music because of themselves, not because of the music.

The thing missing from rap is the c in front of the word, or an e at the end
of
it.
Cause that's what that "music" is as far as I'm concerned.
Over-promoted dog excrement.
There are talented musicians out there performing R&B, Jazz, etc, but not
rap. They mostly all are money-hungry lowlife, minimally talented
and over promoted hooligans making a mockery of music.
Bling Bling idiots.
That's my opinion, and I'm stickin' to it.
