Dear Christian,
Thanks for the gift of “Illmatic” by Nas. Don't wish to sound ungrateful, but why do people think giving the gift of an album firmly rooted in a genre I don't like is a good idea? Although I did not like the Eminem album Justin gave me, at least I could laugh at the often hilariously over the top racist, sexist and violent imagery in the lyrics, and there were the odd decent melody. This, on the other hand, was like reading pages and pages of blank paper. Dull, uninteresting, flat, boring. It literally made no impression on me, and I remember none of it, even now while it's still playing.

Thanks but no thanks. Not my thing. Nevertheless, it's the thought that counts, so have a great Christmas.
