[quote=@SleepingSilence]I just feel we appreciate different things about the music...or look for different things in the music. I won't necessary say your wrong and I certainly don't think what I think is good, is somehow bad or lower quality. I've taken music classes and play instruments...(hell I even actually CAN rap.) I know more than the average joe...and yeah...professionals watch and listen to other professionals to get better at it. It's more than a few albums and songs. xP I've listen to the old, the new, the stuff barely considered rap. Instruments on their own, for free styling. Etc etc. 

And no, I admitted for Danny brown. I've listen to a whole album of Kendrick...(took me several tries is all.) And I wasn't being sarcastic or looking for a fight. I like some mainstream artists and even if I don't like the whole of something, I'd always be better if I could find some good parts...I just need something to sink my teeth into. I just haven't found that from the artist yet. I listen to all genres of music though, and I'll admit his on a far back burner of music I want to listen to. 

Dammit, I like rap music. I know rap fans are about as tolerant of dislike of their favorite artists as metal is but. I didn't mean to start a riot. I blame it being so late at night. XD

Your entire first paragraph is full of fallacies, so I’m not going to address them. 

You mentioned you’ve listened to a [i]song[/i] and made some loosely constructed point that Danny Brown, a streetwise musician and storyteller, is vulgar. I must remind you that some of the most vulgar hip hop is immensely intelligent; especially a lot of what was coming out of inner cities like Compton in the early nineties. Which goes back to my very first point: hip hop is the language of the [i]street[/i] and if you don’t like the language of the street don’t listen to it or for that matter believe yourself to have a insightful perspective on it.

On a final note, this isn’t about me defending Kendrick Lamar in his name; I could not care less if you liked his music or not. This is me stating [i][b]your critiques are not good ones.[/b][/i] Kendrick Lamar isn’t even on my top ten of personal favorite rappers nor is he someone I think about very often.
