That's sound poetry, not really music.

That statement doesn't make sense. They don't have a larger, more conservative audience, so...

I'd like to know whose good taste exactly they're showing a continued disdain for and how they're doing this ? Oh yeah, by doing remixes of NWA and Missy Elliot or running around in a club in their underwear doing faux rapping. Right. How shocking ! And I love how people throw all the acts on Tigerbeat6 into the same bag. Are 606, Cex, Electric Company, Blechtum, Pimmon, Lesser, etc. all doing the same thing ?
