but i have to stand up for rap ; like the blues, it was born out of a dispossessed population's need to express and affirm themselves and their identities, and honestly the less commercial rap can be brilliant and poetic and brutal. and some of it can also be hilarious fun (beastie boys...). techno drives me crazy as well, however *electro* can be brilliant stuff when done right.

Rap as text, I respect so as Slam (Grand Corps Malade comes to mind. That is art). Rap as a musician means nothing to me. Most sounds are an elogy to the laziness of not properly learning an instrument. It takes years of dedicated work to do so. Bluesmen took the time to learn.
