| Is high end audio to snooty for its own good? As far as to or too. I'm responding on my little iPhone and I'm typing rather fast. @souljasmooth you see this stuff the reason why hip hop doesn't seek acceptance of these kind of folks because they front like a fake gangsta rapper. I'm versati... | |
| Is high end audio to snooty for its own good? @souljasmooth I would +1 you but some of those nerd guys are my really good friends. Lol. Man I got the answer to my question by some of these responses. Christian believers are me. Once again there they go. They are better patriots, Christian... | |
| Is high end audio to snooty for its own good? I had to do a double take when I saw the Bach response. Lol. Bach will refine me. Makes great music but seriously. Really! I just realized the kind of people that I'm responding to. That's why I asked the snooty question in the first pla... | |
| 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. They spend more on concert tickets fashion and media as a whole. A lot of the rap entrepreneurs have figured that out and maximize this opportunity. Rap is in arenas now more than ever. ... | |

| Is high end audio to snooty for its own good? I would come to Newport with my jazz and blues and they would play it. I wouldn't bring my rap CDs. They are for my enjoyment. I don't seek the approval of others to enjoy what I enjoy. It's for me. Not to fit in. I listen to opera, classic... | |

| Why do people that are Into rap and hip-hop even want a high-end audio system Because we listen to jazz, blues, pop, r&b and sometimes it mixes all together. 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. They were not consumed with the material things of life. It wasn't just the hits it was the songs in between. Kane had a song called "set ... | |
| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad Yup. Certain kind of music lovers like those who claim that they accountability and credibility. Anyone who acts like folk, blues, rock, jazz, punk, country etc. etc. was first and is so much better is so grey poupon. Lol. Ask a question got an an... | |

| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad Music touches the soul and has meaning. For most people music is not for just listening but for hip hop it was and has been a movement. It's storytelling the beat of the drum and creating the rhythm. Rap doesn't have to justify that it's music to ... | |
| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad @bdp24 @lowrider57 thanks. You are right the early Sugarhill gang "The message " was an important song that talked about social ills in America. Run DMC "Hard Times" was another song. Kurtis Blow "If I ruled the World" Too Short's"The Ghetto" all ... | |
