When will rap music be less mainstream?

Thomas

My wife just read this string and wanted to know about the three strip clubs I own in the San Fernando Valley. I now have an embedded ATC speaker in my crotch. I am okay. Everytime I cough when it hurts, it plays Public Enemy.

While I acknowledge Rap sells albums I find no appeal in its pounding rhythms and violent lyrics. I have listened to various rap tunes extensively mostly by having them blasted through my car windows from cars next to me at stop lights. I guess rap ballad would qualify as an oxymoron.

I also feel the same about opera and while I don't think opera sells as well as rap I have never been subjected to a 110db aria from the trunk of the Mercedes next to me.

I suppose I would never attend a rap opera.

THE EXCITING SOCIAL LIFE OF HI FI SNOB

Hi Fi snob got married at 23

Hi Fi Snob has never set foot in a club because he got married at 23

Hi Fi Snob will (very occasionally, say every five years) go to a rock concert but afterwards will brag more to his friends about his back-stage pass than the vibe.

Hi Fi Snob thinks he is too old to go to concerts or clubs because he just turned 24

Hi Fi Snob has never been young. He has done "old people" stuff since his teens.

Instead of going out dancing on a Saturday night Hi Fi snob prefers to sit on the sofa bobbing his head from side to side to Carly Simon.

Hi Fi Snob criticizes people over 25 for going out to clubs suggesting they are "trying to relive their youth"

Hi Fi Snob taps a police officer on the shoulder at the Niel Young concert and says "look officer - I just saw that guy smoking a joint."

Hi Fi Snob tells his kids "Don't get me wrong, I too was a wild partier back in the day"

Hi Fi Snob puts his hand in the back pocket of his neatly pressed trousers to find a business card, then pushes his tie (emblazoned with Stanford logos) to the side to dig in one of the two little pockets of his knit cardigan.
He finally pulls out out a business card and says "hey young fellow, if you want to listen to some real music from the 70s call me up. There will be wine and cheese......it's gonna be absolutely craaaaazy"

Hi Fi Snob loves to sit on the sofa listening to John Denver while playing with Rubic's Cube, because just like him..........it's SQUARE.

Oh man, did this thread go off the rails. But, it's getting pretty damn funny, too.
