: I agree completely. You can't judge a whole genre because of a few untalented individuals.
: I mean, in general there is a lot of shitty music out there - not just shitty rap.
: I mean, between 50 cent and Ja rule, I agree that it isn't much of a choice - but I think there are (and were) a lot of talented rappers out there...I mean, I don't back his views - but I think Eminem has got talent. But stuff that my older brothers grew up with(so therefore I listened to it as well) (and we are only talking a few years older, not a huge generational gap) like Run DMC, the Beastie Boys--I think all these guys are amazing. True, for every good group or performer, you are going to have the Ja rules of the world..but I think its probably just too much of a blanket statement to say all the music of today sucks..it just takes some more looking to find the good stuff, I'd say.
: Just my opinion..not getting all snotty or anything :)
