I kinda enjoyed rap back around 1979. But at that time there were only
a few bands (yes, bands) doing it and it didn't have that mindless
retarded attitude we are so familiar with today. I never thought it
would take off like it did, I thought it would be a passing fad since
it is so limited in scope... but take off it did. I have no time or
tolerance for what it has become since those early days. It's just so
mindless and so, so very repetitive and one-dimensional.
