: 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 :)
~~I agree with you!..There's some really good music out there! Getting stuck in the
Oldies isn't healthy...anymore than avoiding the Oldies is.
I personally really like Eminem..and I'll probably get burned for saying that.
