Seriously, two day ago I was wonder what happened to rap.

I suspect shows like The Voice, AGT, and American Idol have contributed to the return of singers and songs with melodies.

was rap subsidized by USAID?

A good friend tried out for The Voice, several years ago.

I told him to lay some Johnny Hartman, or something like that, on them.

He didn't listen, and did the veins-popping-out power ballad.

Didn't get past that first audition.
