What's most comical is that I'm responding to this post while listening to "I'm Hungry" by
Sports. Good
electronica/breakbeat if you ask me.
When did I attack shauk? I chose not to expound upon my point simply becuase I made it more than clear enough in my first post.

Classy indeed.

BTW, you'd be lucky to hear some of Shauks stuff. He's a talented musician (electronica being music, not poetry), and he's a way better electronica composer than I am.

And while it's not my cup of tea, I've heard what he has up on his myspace.
Stop being Shauk's bodyguard and explain how rap isn't music.

so again, to flip back to the lyrical side of things, you act like I'm still of the mind set that "all rap sucks" and I believe I stated above that I realize it isn't the case, but that rap "music" sucks, and needs to become a more complex vessel for delivering their expression of choice. Compare "The Streets" video that was linked above musically vs the others and you'll see why I picked that one as my acceptable entry.

Well myself and a few others have cited some artists that'd be up your alley. Message me here or on aim - I'd be more than happy to share my entire collection with you.
