The anonymity of this board has become a vehicle for some posters to spew racist diatribe,this is TERB not stormfront!

My comments were on rap music, and the so-called "songs"...no-where did I bring up anything racist!

I often hear others say the same thing about heavy metal. Or take your pick of music one dislikes.

True there are a lot of bad music out there, but such generalization come across as prejudice.

They all have a taget audience. If truely un-talented, they will fade with test of time. Otherwise may have some merit, when given a chance or in the right setting.

Well said Goodtime.

It's funny how history repeats itself. Many years ago people where calling the Motown music, nigger music, jungle music and just a fad. People were calling rock n roll the devils music as well. My god, The Beatles were going to bring down society! Now I hear some of you guys waving your canes saying the same thing. If the biggest argument that someone can come up with is "they don't sing or play instruments" then that's a pretty lame excuse. Rap/Hip Hop is an art. And Kanye West is one of the hottest artist out there right now. He is also one of the hottest music producers out there. That's why Grammy award winning artist like Alicia Keys have many songs produced by him, as well as other non hip hop artist.

Rap isn't going away anytime soon.
