I think I'm turned off more by "Death Metal" than rap.. and I have certainly tried to find a song of that genre that I like... Cryptic sure has sent me plenty.. but I still have yet to find the appeal to it. But I wouldn't ever say that the whole genre should be banned.
I guess I try to find the good in all music... Its as individual as we are, and that's the way that it should be.
Although Kanye's reaction to losing... very poor in my opinion. He is supposed to be a professional.. and that was just very immature and lacks class.
Great works are performed, not by strength, but by perseverance.
