So let me get in on the stereotype game. If anyone who likes Reba is a country bumpkin, does that mean anyone who likes either 50 or Kanye is ghetto ?

There's nothing wrong with being in Tremors. NOTHING.
Woah! She really said that?

She should be proud to be in such a cult classic. That movie rocked. They just screwed it up by releasing sequels that sucked harder than George Michael in a public LA restroom.

I like some Reba, I like 50 cent and Kayne ...only the ignorant would say all of any style is crap. You may not like it, but to say they don't have talent is ignorant.

That said those that say that...unless you are making a cool million+ a year, why don't you do it too since talent is not required and all that?

I seriously don't know many adults who listen to rap, everyone I knew who did grew out of it after high school. Well not just rap, heavy metal as well.

maybe they stopped listening in Arkansas...

If there is one commodity this forum is not short of, it's prejudiced IT guys who constantly talk about how swastikas are an ancient symbol of luck and how much they hate Kanye.

...where are you going with this?

I'm also really impressed at those of you that call rap, (C)rap. That's really clever and insightful. Did you think of that gem all by yourselves?

I really don't like any of the artists listed, and yes........ rap is KKRRRRR----AP!
Well, unless it's from this GUY

They used to be no tolerance on DUI's too until the guy from 24 got one. Now if Jessica Alba were to get caught, they'd demand the law revoked.

That's kind of true across any technology board really. ><

You guys all need to listen to some good hip hop and don't base it completely off of what you hear on the radio...and then maybe hip hop might have a chance.

Personally, I think Chamillionaire's Ultimate Victory was better than both Graduation and Curtis...but that's just me.

That's the second dumbest thing I've read today.

How is it dumb?

My observations are the same. Most people 40 or older listen to country or classic rock.


Uh, that's because those were really the only available genres of the 50s? Come back 20 or so years from now and say the same thing for people in their 40s.

Now the earlier post, I too, would say that is one of the dumbest things I've read today.

People in their 40s were teenagers during the late 60's and early 70's and rap(funk) and heavy metal(hair bands) were prevalent by then.

Anyway I edited out my reply after he clarified himself.
