Never too keen on NWA, or Cube's anti-semitisim, good, beats with good,
rhymes are what I like. Even in other languages, check, MC Solaar,
Mènélik, Les Sage Poètes de la Rue, Suprême NTM, SLEO, Sens Unik. You can
find it, maybe Puff is subsidizing the real thing
>Then others like Tribe Called Quest (I guess they called it quits), De
>La Soul, Roots, Gangstarr, Wu Tang clan, Goodie Mob, Outkast, Xzibit,
>O.C., Common, Mosdef, Jurassic 5, Smiff & Wesson (Coco Brovas), Black

>Shadow, DJ Krush, Ras Kass, are keepin' it alive, Fresh and NEW. I

Forgot Rasco, Black Eyed Peas. But, as is said, "No one went broke
underestimating the taste of the American People." We do have choice here
and people do chose or choose not to--38% of registered voters last week.
