I like stuff with a good beat and I think artists like Missy Elliot, Eminem and TLC are awesome. But a lot of it I find boring with the lyrics, subject of songs, the way they all dress up in the videos..I have nothing against that type of culture but doesn't appeal to me as something to go out of my way to listen to. I'd probably never actually go out and buy it (although I have a TLC album).
