The rappers seem to rule the roost when it comes to popularity, but I don't get it. Rap has ruined black music.
Main stream country artist have to be pretty boys. and pretty girls singing bland light rock.
Artist like Britney Spears, and her like get my vote for nothing to offer but mindless entertainment for young teen aged kids.
That's my rant on the bad stuff.

The lyrics are to often about bragging about yourself or something sexual in a crude manner. It stinks. Bring back the soul and get rid of the hype.
What is "black music" and why has rap ruined "it"?
