ok - so i've been pegged as someone who doesn't listen to rappers just because i dont care for eminem? that's kinda assuming isn't it? if you want to talk about talented rappers - eminem is on the bottom of my list (its my opinion - i am entitled) but on the top would be - Brotha Lynch Hung. he (BLH) is without a doubt the most underated and extremely talented rapper in the genre's 20 something existance. and before you think i am scared of what eminem has to say you should check out brotha lynch - his lyrics make eminem seem like mary poppins and his flows and rhyme schemes make mr marshall mathers look...well mediocre at best. other notable rappers i enjoy - first degree the DE, sicx, bone thugs (can anyone deny the talent there?), the convicts, tallcan, zigg zagg, and the mighty eightball and MJG. but i guess like you implied - im just an uninformed idiot who doesn't listen to rap. while in fact what i may be is a semi-informed idiot who doesn't listen to Crap. to your pleasure - i will do my best to shut the hell up now. -mike
