Good point, and I even listed 2 Live Crew in with some of my favorites, and nobody was nastier than them,but they also had one of the most important freedom of speech cases before the Supreme Court since Larry Flint, and most of the artists that you have named I like, but consider them "old school" because they carry on the positive tradition that Rap used to have.
Yes there is a difference, but it seems the only thing Record Company Execs want to promote heavily is the negative crap, and I think the artist that participate in this minstrel show are doing the industry and the culture as a whole a dis service, not to mention...they are selling themselves out for quick cash, and it's disgusting.
(yeah, I said minstrel show!)
