...is take one look at the comments entered by viewers and you'd KNOW why hip-hop and rap are in decline. Their audience is, basically, illiterate. And proud of it. Most of those guys will be cleaning my swimming pool and weeding my garden in a year or so. If they're *lucky*, I might even let 'em wash and wax my fly ride.And, the BEST part is that they won't know that their last paycheck from me was short by $75 because they can't even do simple math. Keep on rappin', dumbasses, it's music 2 my ears...

Who do you think buys most of the rap and hip-hop albums sold? Particularly the albums that you likely would find to be the most vile and without merit? Historically, it has been white, suburban youth. Although the adequacy of many of their math and literacy skills could be questioned, I don't think that is who you had in mind with your comments.
what was once said of Duke Ellington and other "jungle music" players. So tell me, did Satchmo wax your Grandpappy's ride? Or maybe your old man just used his pillow clothe, you know, the one with the two small holes.
completely, and all its implications.
