Because only a certain amount of people can pretend to have musical talent.

If this is the suff that gets in, imagine the crap that Hollywood kicks to the curb.

Actually, it's mostly artists with content and integrity that get kicked to the curb the most.

No, this is the stuff that sells to the idiots, it has nothing to do with talent, it's all about making money. Eva Cassidy, Allison Kraus, Tracy Chapman have talent and singing ability, they don't sell a million copies the 1st day because they don't shake their ass or wear the trendy clothes that appeal to the drones that gobble up everything that matches their "style" or "thug 4 lyfe" mentality.

Great. Yet another thread in which rap music is generalized.

Fine start a thread about country music and we'll see how long that takes to get generalized.

Start a thread about trance/techno/any form of electronic music. That will get generalized at warp speed.

I don't start music related threads in order to flame and or/generalize a certain genre.

It is a sad day for ATOT when "polariod picture" beats out choices such as "salt shaker", "epileptic kid", or "vibrator".

Eva Cassidy's rendition of "Time After Time" and Allison Krauss' "You Will Be My Ain True Love" are two beautiful, talent filled songs. :)
