I know nothing about rap?
I was IN a rap group for the first two years I lived in Atlanta. Urban Grind. We recorded one album, with some production and performance by DJ Hurricane (original DJ from the Beastie Boys), and had a pretty good regional following there for a while. We were a hip-hop/rock/funk group, with elements of groups like Outkast (also from Atlanta--we were doing their "thing" before they were, actually), Fishbone, Beastie Boys, Run DMC, Rage Against the Machine, Parliament Funkadelic, James Brown, etc.
I enjoyed it greatly, and I still think we were a great band.
And I STILL say that most rap today sucks.
90% of it, especially the stuff that makes it onto the radio and/or MTV is all "bling, bling" and no substance. The best stuff never gets heard by the masses.

PS Yes, Kuan....Johnny Cash rules. He's not country. He is his own genre!
