i dig a number of the artists listed in that post, but the idea that someone doesn't love *rapping* because they're not into aesop rock, busdriver or other underground avant-garde acts is absurd.

most people who listen to lots of rap appreciate good rapping. it's not a coincidence that most of the modern greats--jigga, nas, TI, eminem, wayne--are (or were) exceptionally good at doing it.
