Rap is not my type of music. Neither is country or hip hop. Wow, I guess I'm incredibly close-minded then, huh!? Quite the opposite, actually....

If you don't like something, then why indulge in it?

I didn't say you had to indulge in it, just appreciate it.

Dizzee Rascal is good. A lot of his lyrics are rather, well, stereotypical. The whole: "I'm a tough thug, so don't mess with me," thing. However, he also has quite a few songs that are very socially conscious and talk about the problems of ghetto life. Unfortunately, a lot of "ghetto" rappers tend to have that odd paradox in their music. Half of it is about playing the tough guy and fitting the stereotype, while the other half is about criticising it. It's very odd.
