To be completely honest, I hate rap music. I used to listen to it when I was younger. Bone Thugs, Dr. Dre, Cypress Hill, etc., but I just can't take it anymore. I think I've just changed as an individual and it doesn't fit my tastes anymore. I can appreciate the skill that SOME of the writing takes though. There are some truly genius lyrics out there, but you have to dig for them. Most of the b.s. you hear on the radio is absolute garbage in my opinion.
