Not just because I honestly did not think "Ice Ice Baby" was that bad of a song, but the guy also provided lots of great lulz and also played an important part in the shaping of hip-hop culture and the way that we would perceive it from that point on.

I don't think we can (or SHOULD, anyway) seek to isolate ourselves from all kinds of stimuli that we don't necessarily find pleasurable. LIfe is a mix of some good stuff and some bad... and yeah, we gravitate towards what we think is good, but without the bad, the good ultimately becomes mediocre.
