My opinion;

Rap might be hard to listen, but here's my list of artists I simply either cannot stand or would be rather listening to gangsta crap instead:

1. BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN -- all times world champ on stuff you just want to block your ears period

2. Dave Mason

3. Allman Brothers

4. Three Dog Night

5. Grateful Dead

Sky is the limit

Rap music can be great! 

The Game - 240 Bars Spider Joke (Spider Loc Diss)

My goodness.  
Is Audiogon Music Forum trying to go for the Guinness World Record for “most discussion threads criticizing rap music on an online music forum” and “most discussion threads fetishizing vocals performed by females on an online music forum”??
