Brenda, I, for one, would be interested in your ideas
on recommended listening in rap/hiphop/whatever (I
take it the three names you quote above are among what
you might recommend.)

I've heard some good stuff (because of what my kids
listen to) although I do find it really irritating
when some of these artists take other people's music
and remix it hiphop style.  It was interesting at
first, but gets a bit tired after a while - nothing
succeeds like excess and all that. (All I can think of
off the top of my head is Janet Jackson, who isn't a
rap artist, but I find her really annoying - she has
overdone the sampling thing by now and she should just
move on.)
