Who will remember any of these (c)rap "artists" 20 years from now?

The standouts will be remembered . . . Public Enemy, A Tribe Called Quest . . . but like the British Invasion, the vast majority will be relegated to the dustbin of history. Rap is not unlike Disco, it just enjoyed a longer shelf life.

One of the very few rap songs that comes to my mind as having a degree of thought behind it was one by Tupac...a tribute to his mother. It seemed to me he took the "bar" and raised it a bit...

Don't forget Cypress Hill--

And you gotta admit, "Gangsta Paradise" is a hell of a song, I don't care who did it. I'm not a Snoop Dog fan by any means, but that's a hell of a song.
