It's a cool beat, and my Mackie HR824's certainly made the room boom with the bass!

But it kind of makes me sad to see how little is needed, in the way of 'music', to make a hiphop song. I know it's an old fogey thing, but I am disappointed the way that this music has developed (or rather, devolved) to the point of minimalism in the music parts. Yes, layer 16 tracks of some girl doing old Aretha Franklin licks on top, and some thug rapping about 'nappy headed ho's', or whatever else they can sing about without getting fired (like poor old Don Imus) or censored by CBS (who profit enormously from gangsta rap artists on their label with FAR worse potty mouths), and you might have a hit.. But it still annoys me that THIS is what has come to rule the charts.

It's not that I don't like the music (at times!), but it gives me so little to actually play!
