Not to hijack the thread, but...
Largent my man, you are a man of music. I get that, I respect the hell out of that and to be honest, I'm probably even a little jealous of that (I can't play an instrument for shit). I also get that you don't like the hip hop music. That is your opinion, you have your reasons, you have the pedegree to back up that opinion and I also respect that too. Same as I don't like Jazz. I just don't understand why the need to pop into any and all threads that mention hip hop, or have a highlight thread with a hip hop soundtrack and make a big statement about not liking rap music. There are now multiple generations of people who grew up with and appreciate this kind of music. It's not going anywhere.
You don't like it and nobody's changing your mind. I like hip hop and nobody's changing MY mind. So why continue to make a thing of it? It just makes you sound like a crusty old man, and I know you are WAY too hip to be confused for a crusty old man (you're a drummer in a rock band for chrissakes! you are the antithesis of crusty!).
One thing I think we ALL can agree on though; Riff Raff = LOLZ.
