Cowboys second half draft highlights

Current rap music is mind numbing idiocy.

Replace "current rap music" with "current MAINSTREAM rap music", and I'll agree with you 100%. Like WoodysGirl pointed out, there's garbage in all genres. But there's so many different "types" of hip-hop that it's impossible to say it's ALL one thing or another.

Hip hop and rap do not have to be one and the same. There is a a lot of quote "hip hop" music that is not classified as rap.

Usher comes to mind. Much of his music I wouldnt call "rap", but it is definatly hip hop.

Usher is an R & B singer who incorporates the hip-hop sound into his music. But ultimately, he's a singer and no one would dare think otherwise.

well when you have certain hip-hop artists calling rap nowadays trash, then you know there's a problem

I am not a fan of Rap music, but my roommate in the Army listened to Tupac and Big E Small I am open minded enough to say that it wasn't bad. I liked Eminem a bit. In fact, I considered buying his greatest hits album. Otherwise, I would rather listen to other stuff.

I'll give 50 this though, at least he was actually thuggin' it, got shot 9 times in the process

he has this one song, go back to his earlier days before he was shot, he actually had some tight music back then

Murda Muzik's okay, but I think it's only their 3rd best album... "The Infamous" and "Hell On Earth" being their top 2.
