Rap. Boy did that go out the window. Thanks Nas.

A lot of my friends blame me for getting them into rap, as if it's a bad thing.

For me it was the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy. Although full disclosure: I already owned a fair amount of Run DMC and LL Cool J

Among others.

I was pretty sure Rap was dead until I found Dalek.

Nas has converted a lot of people to liking rap. I think most people hate rap because they think it's all like Lil' Wayne and 2 Chainz.

Well, I didn't hate it I don't think, but I was 13 and the only music I had ever listened to was the Beatles^.
