Why do people that are Into rap and hip-hop even want a high-end audio system


Until recently I always thought that guys into high-end audio listened to Classical, Jazz, Blues and some classic rock. I never knew that some listened to rap or hip hop. It would seem to me that rap or hip-hop would sound better on a low to mid-fi system rather than a high-end system. What do you think?

Jond,

You claim African Americans mostly listen to this type of music. But Calvinj who has also started a couple of these rap threads says it's mostly suburban white kids that listen to this kind of music. 

Mr. Taters is on a roll with his seemingly innocuous, but essentially rhetorical questions. Is Mr. Taters obsessive, perhaps? Might he actually be a closet Rapper? Kinda like those preachers and politicians who fling fire and brimstone at whatever they purport to find abominable. And then they are found out.

But if so or not, to what end? Or does Mr. Taters have some peculiar agenda?

My questions are not meant to be rhetorical although some may find them to be so.
taters,
yes, African Americans listen to this type of music. But I think you'd be surprised at the number of young white males and females who listen to Rap and Hip Hop. And the white suburban kids most certainly have more money to spend on it.
