Too much analysing.Chill bro
Aesop Rock can spit with the best of them.
What about the beastie boys they are in the rap category I would have thought and a massively iconic group.
They wouldnât be my cup of tea but mack miller is massive now too
Not to mention the postie
Some more analysis - what irks me is the almost wholesale drift of black popular musical culture into hip hop and rap and away from playing instruments. Guitar music was black music, as stated by @caulifloweredneanderthal. Yet guitar music is now seen as an almost exclusively white and increasingly middle class preserve. There are no heirs to B.B. King and John Lee Hooker and Jimi Hendrix and Prince. We have no kick ass black female punk guitarists making a mark on the world. Well I canât think of any.
Eminem with a net worth of $250m odd has had a few alright moments
Hm

Youâre doing that thing that stupid people do
The more educated amongst us, those with a broad cultural overview, lads who can easily distinguish between a salad bowl and a melting pot, will easily grasp the idea that oirish staples like âthe rocky road to dubilinâ and the âraggle taggle gypsyâ are close cousins to rap.
You have to laugh at pasty faced would be socialist worker salesmen positioning themselves as the guardians of snoopy doggy whatever etc. Experts likeâŚ

Presenting facts?
The best of a bad lot. They had a sort of Road Trip type frat boy air about them that I wasnât mad about. Fight For Your Right To Party was recited in its true spirit by Travis Kelce recently. Sure Shot is probably the best white rap track ever.
Mistaking money for an infallible measure of musical quality
I saw Tom Odell on tv recently in some random festival.He played his hit âanother loveâ on piano and after playing a few bars of Fur Elise as an intro, he was into his song brilliantly.A blind man could see its iconic and I hought to myself watching it,that this is going to be this generations stand out memory the same way as Nirvanaâs unplugged sessions was mine.
It was poignant and a lesson that time moves on for everyone.
I love lifes boomerangs.
Ok so. Iâll move on from money. 383 or so award nominations. 150 odd awards. Some small-time awards like 15 Grammyâs and 1 Oscar. In fairness, not bad for a lad who had a few good moments.
Awards, lolz
Just move on altogether, mate, you donât get music
Of course I donât. Iâll bow down to the lad with a load of stories about how he couldnât rap to a bad karaoke session back on Palmerstown in the 00âs 
Music is no longer the cutting edge of popular culture in the way it was in the 1990s, the INTERNET has long overtaken it as the main driver.
Nirvana were good but they werenât a band I ever had a passion for, grunge as a movement largely passed me by, the stuff coming from this side of the pond either side of grunge was what turned me on at the time and still does. Somebody once said to me that youâre either into British music or American music, I think thereâs a grain of truth in that, and the American artists I like most are either pop artists, tend to have impeccable British influences or are proper old timers. As a rule, white American guitar music of the 80s and 90s leaves me fairly cold. Guns nâ Roses are an exception to that and Iâd rate them well ahead of any of the grunge era bands and further ahead again of the horrible American metal bands of the 1980s.

Iâve never rapped at a karaoke session, mate. The only time I ever did karaoke was as a complete piss take with a mate of mine to Lady In Red in Lanzarote. It was very important to us that we got the âdahhhncingâ pronunciation right and Iâm satisfied we did so.
Also you give all the signs that your musical taste is about as good as that of the average 1980s English footballer.
Puff Daddyâs net worth is $1 billion.
Must be due to the quality of his musical output.
Jimi Hendrixâs net worth at the time of his death was $20k.
Iâll be missinâ youâŚ
A lot of the people who challenge Puff mysteriously find themselves dead too.
One or two lads really opened up here last night, some wild claims and some very bold assertions. I almost actually feel a bit queasy thinking about what i witnessed
