But rap is crap. It's not music at all. And it has heavily contributed to the poisoning of our society into mindlessly accepting whatever happens to be popular and selling well, whether it has any intrinsic value or not. <BR/><BR/>A society's value system can be measured by its art.

(I do enjoy some of their songs)Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620513174959215930noreply@blogger.com
