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

@onhwy61 Thank you for articulately stating what I was flailing around trying to say.

aolmrd1241: I enjoy my Everlast "Eat At Whitey's" lp from time to time. FWIW: I believe the first song with rap to reach #1 was Blondie's "Rapture".

Listen to Mos Def, Black On Both Sides on a good system. Outstanding album.

So, onhwy61, if I suggest that Andy Warhol's Campbell's soup cans may not actually be art, am I continuing a tradition of bashing gays?
No, because the art itself is separate from the artist.  My opinion of Warhol's art has absolutely nothing--I repeat NOTHING--to do with his sexuality.  You think it's all connected.  It's not.  Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.  Lighten up.

Too short's album Get in where you fit in. Has an instrumental called "The Ghetto Reprise". He had an old school funk guitarist play the instrumental.  Listen to Mos Def "Umi Says" It's actually the theme song for Nike commercials. Great musicians on that one.
