BTW Lee, not all hip-hop is violent and/or idiotic.

Most of it is, but then as Theodore Sturgeon famously said, 95% of
anything is bullshit.

It's not my favorite style of music, but condemning a genre of music
based on its worst examples is sorta like condemning all orchestral
music based on elevator Muzak

E.g. buy some CD's by the Roots, that's a fairly intelligent hip-hop band,
and
they actually play real instruments ;-)
