And all of that novel that you typed up would have been relevant HAD I said hip hop has no talent...it takes talent for sure, just not the same type of talent as say a jam band or any other band. You have a nasty habit of easily getting offended and putting words in my mouth, no?

I'm not so much knocking on hip hop as I am on the fact that you hold it higher than any other form of music, all the while clinging to it as you are also perched on that cloud of knowledge looking down on us. That's all.

Like I said, I'll easily bang to some Gheto Boys now and then because YEAH, my mind's playin' tricks on me. haha. But I mean I don't really take it seriously to a certain extent.

I wouldn't take EVERYTHING I say so seriously or look into it too much though....Take it with a grain of salt if you wish. :jointsmile:
