That is kind of the point of listening to unintelligent hip hop imo.
That's a fair point, but it's a different argument IMHO.

Watching Mark Wahlberg in The Happening is hilarious but it isn't a great comedy movie.

Big Boi is a perfect example of someone who can do both. Dude can rap about cars and drugs and do it will major talent. He isn't dumb. But as much as I love stuff like this---I can still admit that it's retarded.

I'm agreeing with you. Three 6 Mafia has an argument though through their accolades through other media

Everybody enjoys listening to Three 6 or Project Pat repeat the same thing over and over for 5 minutes when they're trashed but it really is shite music without any intrinsic value. I get it; it's hedonistic music focused solely on pleasure. But it's borderline comical. See exhibit A: "chickenhead." I can always bump that, but doesn't really mean anything.
Well that's mostly all rap music is for me

I'm WAY more into the beats and atmosphere of it than the lyrics honestly. And the flow of the lyrics, but not the actual lyrical content.

I listen to stuff that makes socio-cultural points about the plight of black people but frankly I'm white and was raised middle-upper class and it means little to me, and honestly I find a large percentage of it misguided and ignorant anyway, so I don't really care.

DJ Paul has nasty dark gangster beats, so I like Three Six Mafia. That's about it.

Slight Hijack, but Tommy Wiseau is coming to do a screening of The Room and his new TV show and a Q&A at the Prytania in December. A MB Must!
Will be there before possibly going to Anders @ Tips.

Completely understand and that's how I always felt before.
My older brother is the one who go me into the 80's cultural stuff.

But nowadays we have genius like this: LINK

Will always have a soft spot for this stuff. Lil Flip and Big Moe was all I listened to through junior high. Like the only fricking thing I listened to. The original poster Andre and I can't be together without rewinding things back about 15 years to those classics.

ATLiens is an incredible album. It's not a great rap album. It's a great album, period. Same goes with Nas's Illmatic. It's one of the best albums of its time; whether you like rap or not, it was groundbreaking.

I keep it to myself because I don't want you guys to think less of me as a person, but I really don't get the Doom stuff at all

I tried, and it did very very little for me. And usually I'm all about that kind of stuff.

Check the links I already posted.

Try this: LINK (Anti-white, black-pride, black-empowerment, nation of Islam rap ) It's fricking awesome. I probably listen to it monthly.

And this for something a little more modern and dark while still not being Drake-like-ruhtahded.

I mean... I like Outkast, but no way would I list them as tier 1. Much less rave about their show like y'all do.

You're not the only one, Dan. You either love it or you hate it imo.

They have more songs than Ms. Jackson and Roses, Sticky. You should listen to everything before Stankonia
