I agree... Not so much with the pop/R&B type stuff (even tho I do like that new
Christina Milian song)... I mean I'll like songs here and there but on a whole
I dont like the new stuff I've been hearing for the past 5 years or so...
But yes, the mainstream rap is fine with me... I'm really not into the whole
"down-souf" thing that's blowing up right now... Again, I like songs here and
there but I would never listen to a full Ying Yang Twins album...
The rap I love the most is east coast... Nas, Jigga, the ROC, LOX, Wu, Mobb
Deep, DMX, G-Unit (even tho 50 Cent has kinda fallen off IMO), etc.
But in the end you like what you like...

I'm with you. I'm constantly having this argument with some people from an
Bristol indy rock forum (my brother runs the club night it's associated
with). As long as music makes you smile, cry, laugh, dance or whatever it
intended to make you do, it's good. Doesn't matter whether it's pop,
underground, thugged out, backpacker, conscious, rock, hiphop, ragga.
dancehall, two-step, blah blah blah.
People that dismiss music on the grounds of it being on MTV and in the Top
40 often miss some great tunes, it's a shame. True, a lot of pop music is
totally dire, but then a great deal of the underground is too.
On my way into work I had my car playlist on random... Mobb Deep - Got It
Twisted followed by Skillz - Imagine.... safety nice.

**HAND UP**
and I'm getting better too. Stripping off all that pretentious/elitist
shit is a constant process.
I'm fukcing loving that "Hey Micky" garage track. Fukcing kills me.
Rapping is boss on it aswell. Dissapointed by teh Wiley LP, not grimey
enough.
I tend to be about 6 months out of date on bashy dancehall stuff but
it's still on a high from the dance crazes if you ask me, so much good
stuff, its like early 90s again. RnB is as good as its been in my
lifetime as far as I'm concerned and damnit if the pop stuff isn't
better than all the neo-soul shit.
I could do with some more dub knowledge.
The only thing you fall down on is not liking Doom. punk.

I'm a big fan of the Jamaican dancehall, in fact I love real reggae too
much.
I'm even more commercial than you, I totally feel G Unit.
Dirty South rules, I'm probably the only one here who appreciates Lil' Jon,
EastSide Boyz, Lost Boyz.....

Mobb Deep were the precursor to G Unit, The Lox and State Property and have
progressed into doing the same kind of music as them.

But you're tallking to a kid that was listening to NWA tapes at 8 or 9 and
It never really did me any harm. I didn't go round telling hoes at primary
school to swallow it but don't bite! I didn't pull out an AK and spray!
You can't blame artists for putting adult content in their music if they
aren't making the music for 14 year olds. I'd argue that Britney Spears
makes music for 14 year olds that is marketed to 14 year olds. 50 Cent makes
music for adults that is marketed to adults AND children listen to it
because it's cool. It's up to the parent to make sure that the kid know the
difference between right and wrong and to make sure they know, as my mum
did, that if artist X says it, it doesn't mean that I can.

50 Cent makes music for adults that is marketed to adults AND children
listen to it because it's cool AND accessable AND is appealing to everything
in young teenagers rebellious nature.
If 50 WAS marketed directly to kids, he wouldn't be anywhere near as
successful as he is. Part of the reason why kids who aren't really into
hiphop on a bigger scale love listening to 50, Eminem and such like is
because they know they really shouldn't be. It's the same thing that makes
kids wanna smoke, curse, have sex and drink alcohol - "I'm doing things that
I'm supposed to be too young for and not getting into trouble for it so I'm
great"

And according to RJ Reynolds, Joe Camel wasn't aimed at kids.
You say yourself: "it's cool AND accessable AND is appealing to
everything in young teenagers rebellious nature."
S'like: Eminem may be (or have been in his Slim Shady days) risque, but
he was still devoting lyric space to Britney and Christina disses that
didn't mean shit to older folk. It's obvious he knew the audience to
whom he was speaking.

very true, very true... but i'd rather attack the root cause (lack of
livable wage) than the symptom (impressionable kids).

But there's a difference between selling cigarettes via a cartoon character
which is blatantly aimed at children and selling records that aren't really
aimed at kids but they pick up on it because it's the new cool thing to do.
> You say yourself: "it's cool AND accessable AND is appealing to

Of course it is, but as is my point, 50 isn't marketed to kids, kids buy
into it. If he was marketed to kids, he wouldn't be anywhere near as popular
as he is because the majority of his appeal to kids is that they shouldn't
be listening to it!
