It's not more admirable but it is more honest.

Originally Black Rappers were trying to convey their own culture, their own anger, their own patois, and were not radio rappers. With the rise of ganta rap, the posers came out in force, some were, or course legit, and did become famous making everything worse. The rise of female rappers leveled off, at least in popular music.

I like rap-- but I have to find people who truly know about it to find stuff I can listen to. I still like Ice-T on the Tank Girl sound track.

Eminem is a very damaged, very talented person, who I hope grows up some day and quits blaming his mother for every damn thing.

His homophobia and misogyny sticks to him like dogshit on his shoe.
