So with those bands, it would be safe to say that you like that particularly genre of metal/rock or whatever is classified? I just think you meant to say you don't like the today's definition of hip hop and its culture, not so much the whole genre of music. Rage against the machine for instance....the guy is damn near rapping in ever song thrown up against a metal sound....which stems from.....(jeopardy music) What is hip hop.
Celebrities make PB&J!?!?!? So they are regular human beings, huh who knew. I think he's a fantastic athlete, doesn't mean I have to keep up with stats, trades, and watch actual games. Though I will watch a game when at a bar or friends house... that's something right?

Yes, you are correct, I have lost interest in Hip-Hop. I use to love Hip-Hop, but having conquered struggling to carve out a place in the music world, and bringing the untold stories of the streets to the masses, Hip-Hop has turned into a Pop-centric, ABC rhyming style, Auto-Tune overusing, commercial medium to promote bling and other worthless products to advance their own pockets, instead of creating art. BTW, I don't consider ALL Hip-Hop artist to be this way, just the vast majority.

You are also right, I do like that genre of Rock&Roll as well as most all other genres. I mentioned those bands specifically, as they mix their styles with Hip-Hop and other influences, are unique, and/or speak directly against what "Today's Hip-Hop" stands for 'Commercialism".

Now anyone up for watching some dancing monkeys...

For those lacking multi-faceted forms of humor, that above statement is a metaphor for the "entertainers" who produce the material their Corporate Machine wants for the masses to consume. Not a racial statement, though I am not above making racial jokes toward any and all races. It's only fair after all... :-) Boy, it doesn't seem half as funny having to break it down, so as not to make anyone virtually whine or cry.
