Saul Williams and Trent Reznor team up to single-handedly destroy rap music.
Johnny C:
That wordfilter ruins all constructive arguments about rap.
I think Tupac talking about it and the culture actually listening are two different things. I mean, when most rappers talk about Pac they're prefacing it with "rest in peace." Essentially, he's used to build cred while his overall views on black culture are left by the wayside. Dialogue about it can't hurt.
Jackie Blue:
Wow, a wordfilter. How quaint.
Can I say "cracker"?
Tom:
Sorry, zoned out at the mention of rap :-D

Thanks for adding constructively to this thread. Wonderful.
Anyhow, I liked the idea behind this album, and whenever I imagined what it might sound like, TV On The Radio sprung to mind. Having said that, I didn't have faith enough to actually check it out. This thread has made me happy I had that faith, in part. It also has kind of made me want to listen to it more though, to see if it's really that intensely terrible.
The year has been an odd one for rap. Up until about now, there were only a couple rap albums out this year that I enjoyed. And suddenly, Ghostface, Wu-Tang Clan, Beanie Sigel, and Freeway all have pretty excellent albums out. And I've heard good things about Jay-Z's latest.
Scandanavian War Machine:
doesn't Jay-z sample "The Final Countdown" on his new record? I can't remember if it's him or not but i've heard it and it's amazing.
