mmm there was a time long ago when i liked hip hop and stuff..

but only stuff like cypress hill and house of pain is what i can stand for a lil while.

and raggae is not rap the vocal type is called toasting........usually they do it live, and all those rim shots that rappers use are all reggae roots.

if u listen to aphex twin's - windowlicker ull find whta a nice combo of rnb [well what they call rnb now] and hip hop beats..blended nicely....i appreciate something like that or electronica like trip hop which has derived from those types of styles..dnb / drill n bass all sounds good its music u just have to lay off the mtv rap stars u know which ones........
