I am really disappointed with the hip-hop enthusiasts on Audiogon

"Buying Magico M series so I can listen to more hip hop"

I guess you are what the rappers call a big baller.

All rappers worth their salt should buy Magico now!  🔊🔊🔊

I'm a big band swing player.   The night Tupac Shakur was shot, one of the other trumpet players in my band proclaimed that someone struck a blow for good music...

I find Outkast very enjoyable to listen to.
I dare anyone to listen to: "Happy Valentine’s Day" or "Behold A Lady" and not catch yourself singing it the next day. Anyone listen to "Flip Flop Rock" and not tap your foot or start dancing? Listen to "The Way You Move" and tell me that is not good. "So Fresh, So Clean", "Rosa Parks", "Aquemini", "Ms. Jackson", "B.O.B." all are very, very good. Just saying’...

Herndonb - I’ll second you on Outkast’s Mrs. Jackson. Digable Planets is worth checking out too. I’m really not that much of rap or hip hop fan and don’t know Blowfly but I do think an argument can be made for Gil Scott Heron as well as The Last Poets being hugely important in the origins and development of rap/hip hop.
