It is loaded in the words, and that's unfortunate... my beef is with the idea that, given two pieces of music, the one produced by an individual who is "ghetto" or whatever is more worthy of respect. I do not think art should ever be judged on the nature of its creators. If you agree, then it's all good. I just don't care for "white folks got no soul"-type arguments anymore (not that you ever made any) and feel inclined to respond whenever somebody brings it up. That's one of the reasons I'm no longer on 313... Tom
