I'm sure if I enjoyed the music, then I WOULD have found those comments
'snide and rather ignorant'. But guess what? I DON'T like rap therefore I
find them to be true. As you may have missed, I added in the line "That's
just my two cents" meaning that it's my PERSONAL opinion take it or leave
it. I never expected so many people actually waste their time listening to
Snoop Doggy Fucking Dog and DMX (not Krew). Yeah... that's rap. If you're
saying Eminem is more talented than artists like Phonem, µ-ziq, Richard
James, etc. etc. than you have to be smokin' some mighty fine crack.
BTW, I listen to Marumari quite a bit and if you classify that as rap, I'd
LOVE to have a look at your musical dictionary.
