Rap takes " samples " (i.e.- steals the damnmusic) from REAL musicians, then mangles them. Then you've heard rap. Try to imagine listening to an album- an actual, by-God vinyl record- which keeps skipping over and over and over again due to a bad needle or possibly a small frog sitting on the phonograph! That's rap in a nutshell. Throw in some cuss words, some obscene-phone-call-type grunts, and you're in business! I went deaf about the time heavy metal died. Coincidence? Good luck? Nate- still jamming to his AC/DC captioned DVDs! hee hee __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
