[QUOTE="fdlsys, post: 858720, member: 2310"] Couldn't agree more. In my mind, music or any other form of art OR craft is supposed to invoke empathetic emotional reaction. If I resonate with it, I like it. If I don't resonate with it, I'm not interested. If I resonate un-empathetically, it's because I consider it offensive, annoying, pretentious, boring, vulgar, laughable, idiotic ... I'll laugh with Zappa, I'll cry with Nick Cave's Skeleton Tree. I'll tap my feet with lots of "lighter" music. I'll close my eyes and immerse myself into pure emotion of many of the contemporary ECM artists. But, I'll close my ears AND eyes AND run for cover as fast as I can with 99% of modern pop culture (pretty much everything being spewed at us on MTV). Make no mistake; rap/hip-hop has been a part of the (strictly commercial) pop culture since the 80s. It has f*all to do with its origins which were poetry; not music. [/QUOTE]
