true dat atomic, just because you guys don't like him you just can't incredelitate(wait is that a word) his skillz. tha man could be the greatest classical pianist ever but you don't know that. alot of times peoples image don't fit in with stuff like playing instruments. i think his rap skillz has suffered by combining two types of music. yo but we can't just write peeps off. i did the same thing with Wyclef Jean. I said to myself here's another black guy thinking it's cool to hold a guitar in a video and thought somebody just showed him a few chords, but i heard him play on Vh1 storytellers and i was shocked because he was a phenomenal guitarist and i felt bad about it cause i was so soon to write him off and that ain't right. And i've learned that nobody makes it to the top with zero talent. yo britney can't sing a lick in my estimation but she can dance her ass off. bsb and nsync's songs are gay as hell but i'd be a liar if i said they couldn't sing, they got pipes but that ain't my thing. Kid rock may be talentless as you guys say but his talent is to get people involved in his stuff dancing, moving,or whatever. Everybody has talent even if you have to really search for it.
