Hi, thanks for your concern. Since a portion of the email was directed at me, I felt like I should address some issues, but I did not feel compelled to address the entire body of the post. Partially due to a lack of interesting, and time constraints

It was never intended to bring humor nor strife. I don't see why it is so wrong to not like hip hop. Can you explain why everyone has to like it? Do we all have to be the same? I did acknowledge that if you look for the "underground material" you can find some good stuff. I just don't care to focus my attention on hip hop. I would rather look at other styles of music. When someone used the rationale that not liking hip hop is an attack on black culture, I asked if it was an attack on white culture to not like rock. Seems like a silly argument... I think it's perfectly acceptable to like or dislike whatever you want. It doesn't have to be interpretted as disliking your fellow man. Btw I think most rock sucks also. There is good music coming out from all over the world, and race should not be a determining factor if you like it or not. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
