I am really disappointed with the hip-hop enthusiasts on Audiogon

I give up, who is it?

There is very little more certain in Psychology than people like what they are exposed to most.
I listen to Classical music 90% of the time but would rather listen to
hip-hop than rock because I find it more intelligent . I doubt if anyone
raised on rock, aka 90%  of American population , would agree with me .

Schubert, very interesting observation.  Never thought of it that way, bias always enter into the picture when dealing with humans.  Taters certainly has a chip on his shoulder about Rap and Hip Hop, this is his third denigrating post in the last month or so.  Give it a rest ...

With respect to "the grandfather of hip hop dies ..." I have no idea who he is referring to.  I did a quick search and the only name I came up with is Gil Scott Heron, a name many of us here know, but he died in 2011!  

I think this is who taters is talking about...

Clarence Reid, also known by his stage name...  "Blowfly".
