Not sure how this goes inline with the forum..but I did like that GIF from south park that a poster posted, I thought it was pretty funny even though you PC folks might not like it.

I guess at least he is posting something, forum has been kinda slugglish lately on new posts.

Dang I feel old I thought "hip-hop" was at a minimum accepted now, especially compared to the early 90's anyway.

Shit look at the Billboard Hot 100. Hip Hop is more than accepted. More than rock is now a days :fdown:

But in hindsight, it's a good thing that the rock I enjoy most isn't in the mainstream.

The name "hip hop" is so fucking *** that I would reject it even if I thought it was worth a shit. :P

hip hop gets as much if not more "respect" than any other genre of music: rock, country, classical, pop, etc....
