I think one of my neighbor's kids has some Eminem and perhaps a few other things. I'll check it out."Now, if you've heard 'Doo-Bop,' again, I have no idea how that could be characterized as a sellout. It's simply a mediocre funk jazz album with a few raps on it."
By your second sentence, the word "sellout" screams at me. I'd say that one definitely, "Amandla" would be another and "You're Under Arrest" is a third. Apparently, you and I differ on what is meant by the term. You mention that he uses "lousy raps" on Doo-Bop. Don't take this the wrong way but just what is it that tells you if a rap is good or lousy? Lyrics? Beat? What? You've said that rap requires talent? In what ways?
Why should my not hearing the three people you mentioned surprise you? If it even resembles rap, it's something I've stayed away from. My listening runs from 50's and 60's rock to avant garde jazz to bands like Current 93 and Controlled Bleeding (which are called noise bands, I guess) to metal to world music and back to jazz, swing and beyond. The three you mentioned don't sound like they'd be something I'd be interested in so I either shyed away or didn't notice.
I'll check into some of the things you mentioned. Who knows? Maybe I've missed something. I don't believe I have but I do promise to give it an honest shot and attempt to put my biases behind me. I can usually do that ok - I'm often pretty sure I won't like something and occasionally it turns out differently.
