Yeah...I went to school in the ghetto and everyone listened to rap and I kinda sorta used to listen to it to fit in. I regret those years. Thank god I got a guitar. Anyhow...I've heard of some of those and yeah I DO agree that some of it is pretty cool and the lyrics are intelligent. It's unfortunate that the more intelligent rap groups or artists are kind of underground. The current rap scene is mostly fueled by happy party songs and as u said "that dirty south crap." :rolleyes: Well...whatre u gonna do!? I also think Nas is pretty cool although I must admit I've never heard his records, he just seems like a cool and smart guy.

Whatever tho...I prefer my devil music. I like to hear raging guitars and vocals I can't make out with insane drums and the occasional guitar solo. :D
