I don't think its the authenticity issue, but the fact that it is totaly "safe" music....i mean my mom would probably realy like these guys.

Yeah, the Sugarhill Gang was a bunch of Uncle Toms. Totally. Man, why do these hip-hop groups have to always expand their horizons and shit?

If you look closely at this picture you can see that those members of the audience who do not have, or who are not considering Masters degrees are having a SHIT TIME watching Jurassic 5.

I have a total like of authenticity, and I like what little I've heard of these guys. Still, I haven't heard enough to vote in good conscience.

of course i could be wrong as my only exposure to them has come from the few videos they had on mtv2 and people who know nothing about hip hop asking me if i've ever heard of J5.

Thanks for voting.

Your entitled to your preferences, but I’m curious whether there are any other genres of music which you believe shouldn’t appeal to well-educated people.
A significant share of the fans of non-hip-hop groups such as Shellac, Wire, Can, Tortoise, Slint, Don Caballero, Silkworm, Mission of Burma, Deerhoof, etc, are the high muckety-muck types who read fancy books, too. Do you dislike these bands for the same reason. Why or why not?
I take it you don’t like Saul Williams either.
cities play upon our souls like broken drums
redrum the essence of creation from city slums
but city slums mute our drums and our drums become humdrum
cuz city slums have never been where our drums are from
just the place where our daughters and sons become
offbeat heartbeats
slaves to city streets
and hearts get broken and heartbeats stop
broken heartbeats become breakbeats for niggas to rhyme on top, but..
i won't rhyme on top no tracks
niggas on a chain gang used to do that (Huh) way back

I second the crap vote. even though tunafish has one of the best voices in hip hop (second only to Guru) thats not enough to save them from being crap. I've never been able to get into or like rap music that seems to have been made for white people.

I think Jeff Goldblum is a talented actor. I read a story about Frank Zappa meeting Jeff Goldblum in a rest au rant. They exchanged pleasantries, and both parties were fans of each others works. I heard Jeff's favorite FZ album is Ship Arriving Too Late To Save A Drowning Witch, which is not my favorite (not even close). It just goes to show that everyone has an opinion.
Jeff Goldblum was also in The Karate Kid, but no one remembers.
