VERY WELL SAID, Cary... You took the words right out of my mouth, and probably 
that of a lot of other people as well!

Hip-hop and rap IS CRAP, plain and simple, and most of the so-called "artists" 
couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.

They are mostly gangsta wannabees whose prime vocation is gun running and 
dealing drugs!  It continues to amaze me that they can put more than two words 
together at a time, and record companies promote them!

The mind boggles!
