You list Dr. Dre. The man is musical genius. The beats / music he produces are mostly masterpieces...

Musical genius?
Name 2 songs from Dr. Dre that even compare to any 2 songs from these REAL musical geniuses:
Prince, Michael Jackson, Jimi Hendrix, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, B.B. King.
Please.
Talking into a mic, rapping over other peoples background music, rhyming words, does not qualify as genius. Anybody can do that.
Dre should try writing and ORIGINAL melody or lyrics that are not hate based. These rappers feed off of people's anger. They sell anger to angry people. It's not music at all and it doesn't take half a brain to talk tough and rhyme words into a mic.
It's the black kids that suffer the most thinking "this is black culture, it's my culture so it must be cool."
It's not cool. It's just no talented angry black men with no talent other than the drive to be rich and successful. They are anger pimps.
