Some rap songs,uhm,raps,are not that bad.and some have likable accompaniment.For instance,if you listen to Tupac's "Me and my girlfriend",and you mute the vocals,the track,in it's simplicity/repetition,is actually listenable.
And Grub,do you know why people will post on a board like this about rap?Coz there's no rap boards(Ok,I've never seen any-tho it's not like I look).
And I think there's a heckuva lot more to jazz than trumpets.It's like saying classical music is violins.But yeah,many people associate jazz with dreary trumpets.How about guitar,MAN!!!
