Yeah but you kind of left out Wyclef Jean. No offense Wyclef does both rap and reggae and has a lot of musical ability and so do those Neptunes guys. NERD has some pretty crazy talent if you check ...

One thing I do think though is that some of the older stuff sounds a lot better than this new junk we hear. Like you put on some old Beastie Boys and Run DMC back in the day and you actually could hear some smooth G notes coming from the guitars. Now a days you hear all this techno junk added into it. Rap annoys me because I think they put in all the most annoying sirens from emergency vehicles and just play them over and over again. And now we have all this scream-o rap like Lil John and Ja Rule. They sound like they been smoking for 40 years and have these gruff voices. thats cool? Eesh I find it obnoxious.

I agree. The most scream-o rapper is certainly Mystikal. He's rediculous. I despise Lil John and Ja-Rule. That stuff is completely NON-musical and extremely assaultive to the senses.

Not a Tom Waits fan then, I take it? ..Huh? He's the ultimate in gruff, but minus the rap. haha He's insanely soulful. Listen to him sometime.
