| What do you miss about old school hip hop music and why? @souljasmooth. You are so right they are funny looking posers. Look at a group called Black violin.

| Is high end audio to snooty for its own good? As far as to or too.

| Is high end audio to snooty for its own good? @bondmanp I agree with your assertions. Great listening sessions with people who have different tastes. We also take turns during our listening sessions playing CDs we like. Each guy gets 30 min or an hour. I've found out recently about some C... | |
| Why do people that are Into rap and hip-hop even want a high-end audio system @lowrider57 yup financially the surburban fan is the key.

There are some people who don't always fit into the rap/thug checkbox. I respect rock, jazz, blues, Latin Jazz etc. etc. Lightnin Hopkins" Blues Hoot" Duke Pearson... | |
| What do you miss about old school hip hop music and why? You are right! I was a Big Daddy Kane fan. I also like groups like Souls of Mischief and the Hieroglyphics.
