That's going deep into the Will Smith archives. I like that.

Never have I heard a truer song, by the way. Parents just don't understand.

^Why not? Is there any fun left in rap anymore?

I'm sorry, but I never liked rap.

What I listen to is too old to be called rap. I like Old Skool Hip Hop like Ice Cube or Geto Boys. If your'e gonna listen to hip hop you gotta gets some HOUSE OF PAIN!!!!!!!!

I'm super fussy about rap/hip hop myself. Most of the stuff I like is pretty old now. Eric B. & Rakim, Kool Moe Dee, early Busta Rhymes, even The Fat Boys.

This 80s sports medley with Kool Moe Dee, Young MC and KRS-One is great:

Young MC wins by a mile. Smoooooooth. :)

KRS-One, Ghetto Boyz, Busta Rhymes, and House of Pain are pretty great. Gotta get some Kurtis Blow and Afrika Bambaataa and the Zulu Nation in there, too, though. Snoop and Dre and Ice Cube as well. Bel Biv Devoe? <_<

Generally for "newer" stuff I go for guys like Ludacris, Wildchild, Madlib/Quasimoto, Heiroglyphics, Deltron 3030/Del the Funky Homosapien, Jurassic 5, Dr. Octagynecologist/Kool Keith, Lootpack, Wu-Tang Clan... I also admit to a soft spot for Kanye West and DMX.

I'm sure there's more than that, but that's all that are coming to me. I love the underground stuff, it's just way better than the popular rap/hip-hop they put on the radio.

I like a lot of bluegrass. Country doesn't do much for me. My musical tastes are all over the fuckin' map, though.

I got into Google+. It's a stripped down Facebook, I'd like it a lot if I had more friends on there. I wish the Invite function would turn back on. It's hard to beta test a social network without a network of socialness.

Bluegrass is the only genre of music I listen to that doesn't suck in these modern times of ours.

That's because it hasn't sold out.

Oh, but you're so wrong. Bluegrass is the sold-out version of Old Time: http://bluegrasswest.com/wordpress/?p=56

I like old country. New country is just crappy rock with a twang.

And clean boots and a clean hat.

Break it down for me, oh-oh.  In what ways does it differ from the facebooks?

I only joined facebook once I had the sense that it might be the last network I'd have to join.  After joining flixster, shelfari, and others.

I just used the Wayback Machine to see what the site looked like before the new software.

It's kinda surreal to see it!

I REMEMBER THOSE DAYS.

Mark Knopfler calls em Deodorant Cowboys.

Google+ seems okay... but it sure is empty thus far.

So how about that Google+ then?

so far it's me and 005 and not much else. Seems cool but yeah, early days and lack of socialness. I'm just there out of curiosity really.

Mark Knopfler calls em Deodorant Cowboys.

He's 'called' other musicians worse...

The little faggot with the earring and the makeup
Yeah buddy, that's his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot he's a millionaire

sure context is key but still...

People thought he was homophobic for writing that. How could somebody who wrote a song like Les Boys be homophobic?

Google + is pretty nice so far. It'll be better when Google opens the floodgates and lets everyone in. Otherwise it'll die like Wave did.
