Black-Eyed-Peas, the future of modern music?

I saw the Black Eyed Peas in PA last night and all I can say is WOW. The whole production was over the top with a futuristic Science Fiction vibe. The music was like no other with so many influences its hard to classify as any one style.
The bottom end literally moved my hair and clothes.
The audience was a wide variety of fans. Many parents brought their children, 10,11 years old. The crowd was white, black, Asian, young, old (me) and happy.
I recommend you go see this show when the opportunity presents itself. It is history in the making.

Tupac? Was he assassinated, or did he just get shot?

Mickeyf, yes I have heard most of what 2pac has done. Compared to what most
people think of rappers, he was a surprisingly well-read guy. Some of his stuff is
too aggressive for my taste, and the violence and aggression in his personal life
was beyond the pale in some cases, but he had 'skillz.'

Rap has rhythm but ignores melody and harmony. That would be alright if it was done in an interesting or sophisticated way, but to me it just comes off as an ignorant attempt at poetry done by someone with a low IQ. I would venture to guess the same about the audience, with notable exceptions of course.
