All music is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!! Its just there are certain artists out there that aren't great , so don't give up on a particular genre. There is so many good urban hip-hop artists out there. Mos Def,Talib Kweli,Common,Kanye West,Pharoah Monche......they're not about killing and all that other garbage......check these guys out they got some serious talent,they're poets in a hip-hop form. I personally love house just as much (but I need to change sh*t up depending on my mood) GIVE EVERYTHING A CHANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Hip-Hop that's on MTV and BET is POP now,so don't just judge on what's getting played on there.
