Sorry, animal, but to most of us here, going from rock to rap is like buying a Raven 25 because the sites on your registered magnum need adjusting . . .

Do NOT get me started about rap!!!!!
After 40 years of desperately attempting to sound like a drummer, bass player, guitarist and keyboard player, studying theory and harmony just for the love of it...
My opinion only, mind you, but my personal biasses have, unfortunately, removed any capacity (that I may have otherwise had) to consider stealing somebody else's riffs with a digital sampler, pushing a start button on a computer and talking along with it to ever be classified as MUSIC.
Doesn't mean I consider those who would disagree to be wrong or anything. I just don't personally get it.
Quick story: James Brown had a drummer named Clyde Stubblefield back in the day. He recorded a cut w/ JB called, "The Funky Drummer." That groove has been sampled and used on literally hundreds of rap records through the years. I asked him how it felt to be the world's most sampled drummer, which he is.
His reply was, "Terrible. I don't understand rap. A dude don't have to be able to play anymore to be successful in music."
Good enough for me.

I am not a big rap fan. There are a few rappers worth listening to. In the last 10 years, I'm not sure there has been any rapper worth a damn.

Thanks for that link Spotteddog - hard to believe she's been gone 10 years. That vid brings back a lot of memories. And more to the point of the topic, so very musical.
