The older rap when it was first introduced to us made sense, then all the gang bangers had to ruin a good thing and give the rap a bad rep

L.L. is one of my favorites but this is not his best opening lyric. What about "nobody can rap quite like I can, I'll take a mucle bound man and put his face in the sand"(B.A.D.)or "When I'm alone in my room, sometimes I stare at the wall and in the back of my mind I hear my conscience call"(I Need Love). Now these are some great lyrics!

i continue to be amazed at the amount of time (so called) haters of rap spend talking about how much they hate it. i mean, if i hated you, i wouldn't say shit about you--why would i? reminds me of the disco days, when all these non-dancing, non-girl getting, non-fun having people were dissing disco--blowing up records and nonsense like that. dumb-asses had already bought the records, so who were they really hurting? well, guess what folks? disco is back-and hip hop is here and not going anywhere...just grit your teeth and bear it...and try dancing-you might like it.

I love how a lot of you avid rock fans like to knock rap. Hav you lisioned to the lyrics in some rock songs they plaine worship the devil and encourage drug use. My point is most music has good and bad dont knock something untill you try it. Why wouldnt rap be on this list. It is all mostly lyrical based.
