Can't resist Rap/hiphop when You're high?

I don't really watch TV at all. And if you'd re-read my post then you'd see that I wasn't telling you to listen to death metal when high. I don't, and don't plan on starting to. And I also never said I dislike all rap. There is good rap, it's just that the majority of hip-hop and rap doesn't appeal to my musical tastes. Read my post again and cut the hate.

Peace

No hate, it's too bad we can't type tones of voice. It was the "some gangster pressing buttons and talking over it" that got to me first, implying that hip hop takes no skill, and categorizing it all as the same thing...the second thing that bugged me was
"One more thing, that argument that everyone thats had a hard life listens to rap, what the fuck was with that? Dude, you wanna hear angry music about killing people to make you feel good, buy some fucking Cannibal Corpse, Suffocation, Obituary, etc. Death metal shit. Or Nick Cave. Or Johnny Cash. Not some douchewad being paid by MTV to look "gangsta". No offence intended."
It just read as kinda condescending and musically elitist to me, sorry if I misread it.
Hip hops not for everybody, neither is death metal, and neither one is better than the other, and neither one necessarily takes more or less skill.

No hate intended.

Peace.

Don't limit yourself to one genre of music. That would be a shame.

For me, I have gone through stages of music, just as I got through my life.

When I was young 10-14 years old, I listened to alot of rap (I don't believe rap exists anymore. To me, rap was Tupac, Snoop, Biggie, Krazie Bone, Big L, early Eminem, etc. What people call rap today is not rap, its shit, and it's Lil Jon, T.I. and Puff Daddy, or whatever he calls himself now, Diddy I think.) And I listened to it cause thats the kind of kid I was, I lived on an Island in Southeast Alaska, and all my friends listened to the same music, it was normal to me.

Then I moved to the more mainland area of Alaska when I was 14, to the Anchorage/Valley area, and I made new friends, who all listened to rock primarily. Rock to us was Alice In Chains, A Perfect Circle, Tool, Pearl Jam, Ween, and classic rock like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Tom Petty, Deep Purple, Doors, etc.

But about 2 years ago I moved out of the house, and started being ME. Listening to what I think is cool, and started smoking herb.

This brings me to what I believe is good music today (in no specific order, and not in full):

Hip-Hop:
Jedi Mind Tricks, cLOUDDEAD, Beastie Boys, Swollen Members, Matisyahu, Living Legends, Atmoshpere, Sage Francis, Jurassic 5, Afrika Bambataa, Rakim, Wu-Tang, Tupac, Snoop, Digable Planets, A Tribe Called Quest, MF Doom, Gnarls Barkley, The Roots, Nas, Common, Jay-Z, Erykah Badu, etc.

Rock:
Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Led Zeppelin, Tool, A Prefect Circle, The Beatles, Beck, Ween, Bob Dylan, Nine Inch Nails, Jack Johnson, Dandy Warhols, Pixies, Queens of the Stone Age, The cure, Stone Temple Pilots, 311, NOfx, The Doors, Rage Against The Machine, Wilco, Blind Melon, etc.

I can easily smoke while jamming to any of these bands.

Although I do prefer Hip-hop when high.
