and clearly you also pay no attention to the real hip-hop being created ... thanks for your deep insight on the genre, much appreciated
clearly. i admittedly have little to no insight whatever on the genre. i'm ok with that. just making fun of the "elite" mtv music awards-type acts. i did stand in awe of what a jackass r.kelly made of himself during the 15 minutes or so that i happened to see of the whole sorry production that is the mtv music awards. it was the most uncomfortable i have been while watching comedy since i saw sir david brent of "the office" fame engage in an office dance-off. i know r.kelly would not be considered a standard bearer for hip hop before someone breaks that down for me in this forum. r.kelly was brave for what he did that night...plumbing the depths of entertainment to make me laugh is something i appreciate.
