    Hmm. Wasn't 2Shay shot by French rap producer Sucre Knight?

    Don't you mean the beer-drinking rapper from a Quaker sect, 6pac Shaker?

    Has anyone heard the Jon Anderson/50 Cent gangsta collab, "Ma Woman Ho' Suxdix Nomo'"? It displays a tougher, somewhat more sinister and viciously violent side of Jon.

    I thought Jon was scary enough in "The Gates Of Delirium". I don't think I can handle a more intense Jon than that.

    It's avant-prog hiphop with serious freakfolk and evil-extremetal snippets. There's a solo section featuring the sounds of 'Cent fighting Jon gangstally but with the latter kicking the shit out of the former by unique ballgrab technique.

    QFT. But this "music" is not going away. It's ingrained in the fabric of all popular music, all over the world. First time I heard Curtis Blow, or Sugar Hill, or whatever I couldn't stand it. Today I can listen to that stuff if it happens to be played on a jukebox. The stuff I get force-fed on jukeboxes today are just pure, manufactured crap. The rhythm/foundation is obviously synthesized. It's all bottom (bass drum), and programmed hi-hat triplets (not sure I'm describing it right). You won't hear a snare drum or a bass guitar (even a synthetic, programmed bass). And one wonders how anyone can like this stuff. Here's what I think it is. It's like people who really, only pay attention to lyrics, or melodies, or "hooks" in a pop song (when I say pop I mean everything, rock, R&B, country, etc.). Unlike some of us who actually listen to the rhythm section, the time sigs, the actual musicianship, we want to hear music played by musicians, not people "talking" over a computerized beat.

    Didn't Tupac join forces with the girls who sang "Push it" to create a rap super group called Salt N' Pepa Shakur?

    No, its not going away, but its not NEAR dominating the charts as it used to be. Definitely a LOT more actual singing in modern NU-RnB and Pop hitting the charts these days than it was 10 or 12 years ago...Even actual R&B and pop bands are starting to sprout up (Dirty Loops, The Internet, etc.)

    Thank you, on behalf of the group and ourselves, and I hope we passed the audition.

    Christ these kids are killing me with their bullshit hip hop. I got a couple Gov't Mule songs in the jukebox but they're having none of that. Back to Drake and 2 Live Crew. God I detest that shit with the intensity of a thousand suns. I hate hip hop. There, I said it.

    oh dear, all the usual prog snobbery comments about rap have raised their ugly heads again.

    I like quite a bit of rap.
