and um, jimbo,in case you missed where hip hop started, it was in the urban ghettos of NY, the main supprot for hip hop since it's inception has been and always will be, the black/hispanic youth, and although the "white" kids it has attracted has brought it commercial fame, it does not, nor will it ever need your demographic to survive, as long as there is a story to tell hip hop will survive, as long as black youth know our history in this country, it will survive, as long as "white" people feel everything should be tailored to thier taste and liking hip hop, and more importantly BLACK music (yeah i said it so what!), will survive as a slap in the face to that idea, just look at your music history and you will find evidence of that, so jimbo as it has been stated before, if you feel so inclined, go ahead and keep you 14$ in your pocket the day CS drops, your copy will hopefully be picked up by some mislead bling blinging black youth looking for something to buy, but know that you'll be missing one of the rap classics for tjhe coming millenium of hip hop, peace and repsect.<P>RIP Alexus (aka erin)<P>member of SPAS, soon to be Vp, lol<P>The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.<P>"the force of evil plans to make you its possession, and it will, if you let it, destroy everybody, we all must take precautionary measures if love and peace you treasure then you'll hear me when i say... oh that love's in need of love today, don't delay, send yours in right away..." -stevland morris bka stevie wonder<P>"Rest in peace, move in passion." -Khalil Gibran<P>APPLY LIBERALLY!!!!! <img src="http://www.okayplayer.com/dcforum/Images/happy.gif"><P><BR>
