musetap,
I am hardly an "ostrich" nor am I ignorant when it comes to music. I can appreciate any artist that has taken the initiative to learn to play a musical instrument, ANY instrument, had inspiration to write lyrics and a melody, painstakingly record said work, etc... because I know how very difficult that is. Doesn't matter what type of music it is. It's one hell of an accomplishment. Please don't mistake my comments for ignorance, as I can wholeheartedly assure you I am not. If you want to call rap/hip hop a poetry of sorts, thats fine. Music, it is not. I look at it more along the lines of calling Paris Hilton an "Actress" ok?
