Unless your room emphasizes bass, I don't think you are going to be happy with the speakers listed above for the kind of music you listen to. They are designed to be more neutral, which, IMO, does not lend itself well to home reproduction of rap and soul. Anyway that's my opinion.
You should check out the Klipsch RF7 or the Cerwin Vega speakers on Amazon, which I think are more suited to what you're doing. Also, look at Axiom speakers, available on the web direct. I think they're very nice and will work out better for you in the end.
