Music: the ups and downs of hip-hop

OK, I’m not the biggest hip-hop/rap fan. I can tolerate most of it. Lately, though, I can’t believe that this song is so popular… I heard the lyrics and I immediately had to change it. Now I don’t listen to it anymore. I’m glad he didn’t come to Bumstock (as was rumored a couple times).

On the other hand, Nas scores some points on my count for making a song I actually like. Maybe it’s the classical sample. Maybe it’s the kids in it. Who knows. Finally a song in a new genre I like – a good compliment to these two, which I think have a damn good sound to them.

By the way, the Web site for the only tolerable station located in the greater Bangor area sucks. The charts are nice, though.
