[kj] OT: Fuck Hip Hop - well not all of it

[Alexander Smith]

For what it's worth, I think Eminem may indeed be clever --- BUT I'M 
FUCKIN' SICK OF HIM!

Hip Hop I *DO* actually like, despite my genre-sweeping condemnation:

Public Enemy, Wu-Tang Clan, Busta Rhymes, Jurassic 5, Nas, (some) 
Jay-Z, (some) Geto Boys, and I used to quite enjoy the first record by 
Das Efx. MC Paul Barman, incidentally, is a thousand times more 
entertaining than Eminem. And I'll always love the Beastie Boys 
(although they've really become a genre unto themselves).

Yeah, Hip Hop was born in NYC. As was Punk Rock. That NYC is long dead 
and gone.

Fuck KRS-One, though.
