Hey I'm one too. I was being sarcastically politically correct there.
I used to love the hip-hop back in high school. After higher levels of education, and a move up in Maslow's hierarchy of needs triangle, I started seeing it for what it is: A bunch of duffusses prancing around with a faux image of over the top masculinity to appeal to a vulnerable middle class white male demographic in desperate need of reinforcing and portraying a masculine identity. It's such blatant marketing that they even make songs and music videos depicting how much wealth they've amassed duping their audiences. Once I got over the identity crisis that in normally developed people ends with adolensence, I stopped listening.
EDIT: Damn Ozy beat me to the Maslow reference!
