Snoop, A tribe called Quest, Common, Run DMC, Public Enemy, Eminem, etc.. The problem is that now it's just overmarketed, unoriginal, meaningless, repetitive bullshit, just like Disco and hair metal. You have cool cars with big rims and a bunch of hoes around you. I get it...now shut up!

OK..LOL...Did you try and re-register under the old user name? Maybe that works, but of course if you want to use the new one instead...fair enough

Well I, for one, am relieved! I came here earlier and thought TTM had done something TERRIBLE and had been dragged off to the dungeon and put in stocks or something. Shocked

Ha, yeah, that was a pretty impressive 4th of July feat---TTM's name in lights, all over the board! Grin

Let me explain. One quality post equals 10 quanity posts. For the real quality posts you have to look for those posters with an understanding of Rock n Roll. That's the stuff I like to read. But there are slow days so people and not just me, post "pablum"....it helps keep things rolling along. Which in my opinion is a good thing, to a point.

This album steamrolled skepticism of rap as genre, practially essential.
