easily. but on the other hand, the highest mountains on this great earth cant hold a candle to your ignorance of rap.

thats like me saying 'rock is pathetic' then quoting some britney spears song...
you would say "britney spears isnt rock"... but it is, its popular rock as started more or less by the beatles. now i would never characterize a genre based on what i hear on the radio or mtv, but you go ahead and knock yourself out. its just a pity you are missing out on a great genre.

also, many of the rap artists i listen to use a live band in their albums and almost all of them use a live band while touring.
