How about do I like rap, period?

Actually, I'd say yes, but I like old school rap. If a person is a gangsta rapper, then the answer as to if I like them or not will ALWAYS be no.

And what the HECK is street cred? Since when is it a GOOD thing when rappers have actual connections to gangs and drugs and pimps? I'd rather have a rapper that's a poser than one with actual "street cred." There was a panel discussion by one of the african american groups at my school this past year about how today's rap music was portraying blacks in a bad light and leading them in the wrong direction. The more I think about it the more I agree.

I wouldn't be very mournful if they all happened to disappear today.

Go to quannum.com and check out the Lifesavas. Now there's some good music. Love the bassline on Hellohihey.

And, yes, I know it's actually Hip-Hop, but most rap is the sorriest excuse of entertainment I've ever been forced to hear.
