I couldnt agree with you more Mr. Jeremy! Techno, Jazz, Reaggae, Blues and ROCK-N-ROLL are just as much part and parcel of our culture as Hip hop.

Now that is the silly part. Why would anyone equate/interpret this who understands culture......ignorance is a muthafcka!
Now let us turn back to the Musical discussions......

Hi, thanks for your concern. Since a portion of the email was directed at

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.

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.
