[quote="Chronic Diarrhea":74bd2]I bet if I said that country music is great all you people that talk about how people shouldn't make fun of other music would say that country is shit.[/quote:74bd2]

I honestly don't think I would. Actually, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't.

They are more like guys that have a Masters Degree in Ebonics and makes poems up with them....with a mix of curse words of course.
Yeah, there is more to it than 'ghetto' rappers, but apparently they don't sell, so unless you're a real hiphop head, you'll never see or hear from them.

Here is an example:

This is J-Live, an MC. He is a college graduate, and teaches 7th and 8th grade english in a school in Brushwick, Brooklyn.

He is also a very well respect rapper in the underground scene, and has a massive world wide following. (I myself have purchased both his albums).

But I bet most of you have never heard of him. I wonder why.

It's because he is educated. It's because he doesn't rap about gats and bitches. It's because wiggers and other commercial-whores won't buy his music. They won't buy it because he isn't a fucking gangster.....Those stupid fucking image-whores.

There are a shitload of other artists who fit his description. I have 3,000+ mp3s of these artists.....And around about 50-55 cds.
