Public Enemy did some brilliant lyrics. Fight the Power and Black Steel are absolute classics (though I still prefer Tricky's drum & bass version). "Who the f**k is John Wayne?"... where else will you find lines like that? I'd forgotten how good It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back was until Zane Lowe played the whole album in one night a couple of months ago. Jurassic 5, Dead Prez, Wu Tang Clan but not the Radio 1 playlist shite. Snoop's Doggy Fizzle Tellyvizzle is classic TV as well, Staba Cracker... brilliant...
Although NWA always makes me think of Beavis & Butthead... "I'm from Compton... huhuuhhhuhuuhhuuuu..."
Pop music rap on the other hand is truly awful.
I'll listen to just about anything except R&B, Pink Floyd or Belle & Sebastian and I really have absolutely no time for jazz.
