Not lost on me that you chose all black artists to trash. By the way, Kanye is NOT a singer.

Exactly. I happen to like folk, bluegrass, etc. But rap, hip hop, etc., are definitely music.

I like all music, even death metal. And the words in those songs are sometimes bizzarre.

I find talent in *black* groups like the Carolina Chocolate Drops... just one example.

Umm humm, yes, it is certainly up to you to decide what Black Music is good or acceptable.

I heard the audience did a better job of covering Bohemian Rhapsody than Kanye did.

Crosby doesn't understand hip hop apparently. I disagree vehemently. Kanye is better than he is now
