As for that post below, hating on those few hiphop stars, lemme say this...

<div style='font: 12pt Arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>Listen to a full fucking album before dismissing them. Some of those songs that get played daily on the radio are total horse shit, some of the artist's WORST songs. They only release them for pop appeal, nothing more. And no matter which genre it is, the very same artist can have some really annoying songs... while having tons of amazing ones that you'll only hear on the album itself. Nowadays, I'll sometimes wonder how they distinguish between A_sides and B_sides in the first place (for singles). Because there are plenty of songs that get dubbed "B_sides" (and get thrown near the back of a typical record) which are actually masterpieces (and note, this usually applies to the other genres, the typical "eleven songs on a disc" things... from rock, pop, R&B, etc).
Either way, my general aim is this: Don't dismiss an album until you've heard the whole thing. And don't dismiss an artist until you've heard their fuller body of work. If you don't wanna, fine. But these days, there's not a single artist that you can't go and listen to for free, or grab from Napster (even though MP3 quality ain't the best, it gives you the jist).</div>
