Rap is such a broad category I find it hard that someone who has listened to much of it can call it crap. I agree that the stuff on MTV and BET is crap for the most part. Every once and a while you'll find some good lyrical content in those songs, but rarely. If you're at all interested in expanding your vision of rap music, Ill gladly send you some MP3s by some of my favorite artists. Sage Francis, Gang Starr (Guru and DJ Premier), Blackstar (Mos Def and Talib Kwali), Sage Francis, and many more. Rap Music can be anything from BITCHES AND MONEY to really well thought out lyrical content that is some of the most socially responsible thing Ive seen.

Most of all -- it makes no sense to shit on anyones music. I consider myself somewhat ecclectic. I'll listen to anything from Jazz to Rap. Doesn't mean I "like" it all, but I give it a chance. People like what they like, I see no problem in asking them to look into what you do. But dogging their music never has good results.

I've found if you want to talk about Religion, Politics, and Music. Don't go into it trying to attack someone else's viewpoints. Just ask them to look at yours and do likewise.

true that.
