Sorry... but could you give us an example of these so-called "great" rap
artists? One's that don't rip samples from otherwise classic songs, or that
don't contain obsessant profanity pointing out how "hard done by" the artist
is?
I didn't grow up the 'hood, but I find that rap is an outlet for rage and
anger geared towards young black males that don't know any better than to
'buy' scads of cds by artists that churn out mindless amounts of repetitive
drivel speaking of some woman's 'bootie' they 'boned' last night.
I find rap to be complete crap quite plain and simple. The days of
creativity have obviously run out with todays rap, and if you think
electronic artists should look towards rap as influence, the genre itself
will be ruined.
Just my two cents :)
