| 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.

| 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.

| 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 ... | |

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.
