Actually I don't see music in black or white terms. There has been some incredible music in rock, jazz and techno from both races. However, the majority of "visible" hip hop (I'm speaking about those that make little effort to seek it out) will probably agree with the "stereotypes". Why are there those stereotypes, because most music videos and mainstream hip hop play up on it? I don't give a shit about listening to some guy rapping about hos or being player. That stupid shit is for preadolescent kids and dumb asses to think is cool. _________________________________________________________________ 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
