I draw lines with my music in the regard that it has to have meaning for me. I need to see value in the words and the music to truly appreciate it. I am guilty of sticking in pop-(name your genre) from time to time as it's easy to listen to when you don't want to think but when it comes down to it, I need reason, heart, meaning, truth, etc. in my music. I guess that's why I love U2 and Johnny Cash so much.

I like how you think. I hadn't posted on this thread thinking it was too negative. Couples of years back I would have said "RAP AND POP STINK!" but I've come to realise that if I didn't get into rap was mostly because as a middle class white girl with a Scandinavian background, the MTVesque genre of rap wasn't quite presenting realities I could associate with, I still don't listen to it, but it doesn't mean I can't appreciate its artistic merit. As for pop, I've managed to reduce my hatred of it according to individual vocalists who can't be bothered to learn an instrument, all sound the same and don't even write their own songs.

Saw him on Monday on a poetry night. Pretty passionate perfomance but i think i enjoyed a few of the people below him on the list a little bit more.
Don't really like the stuff Dans Le Sac has done with him...

^ What my bro said.
Albums like Illmatic and 36 Chambers are so damn good they can go really far to change any prejudices you may have due to more recent mainstream stuff. Just ask me and all my friends i've introduced those albums to who used to hate rap. They're really special albums that crossover on all music fans.

If I had to pick a favorite rap album it would either be It Takes Millions, The Chronic or Ready to Die.

Erg, Cannabis. Try Cannibal Ox, if you haven't.
