So it's blues for white people, nothing wrong with that. There's a lot of great country music out there, but none of it has been made this century. Hank Williams, Jimmy Rogers, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, John Hartford, Doc Watson. These are people who make real music. Toby Kieth, Garth Brooks, etc can die in a fire.

You can't form a real opinion of country music based on what you hear on the radio, any more than you can form a real opinion of jazz music based on what you hear in an elevator.

You have to remember people will think of H.W Jr.

Hank Williams was cut from a different cloth. Smooth, lovable, and sometimes downright depressing; but Hank's songs still pull at my heartstrings.

The Grand Ole Opry ain't so grand anymore.

As for country music I suggest Robert Earl Keen for anyone who likes classic country.

Rap music can be good. If the song actually has some decent music to it, besides just a simple beat. It's also nice when the lyrics are about something good or positive.

Unfortunately, it seems like the vast majority of rap music isn't like this. It can hardly be considered music since it hardly has any music in it. Also, it's usually about big asses or some stupid bullshit.

Generally speaking, rap music is garbage but there are some exceptions.

i absolutely hate it when people say rap music isn't music.

So, lil wheezie is going to prison for a year. Unfortunately, this means he'll be doing a lot of writing in the pen. Here's to hoping he finds a squirrel master to protect his lil' butthole.

Erm, wouldn't it be protecting the nuts?...

Maybe it can hide the nuts in the butthole. Oh wait, I get it...

In short, it was delayed because Keith was bagging lunches for the crowd. I'll elaborate if I haven't already told this story.

I have not, do tell.

You already said you weren't reading this thread anymore back when it was new. Something about intermediate school lunch table fights.

But of course we welcome your discourse. As long as people can keep to expressing actual opinions instead of just slinging mud.
