Quote: David Chapman @ October 29, 2007, 10:15 PMIt isn't really a snob thing - I just hate the whole idea of encouraging drive-by shootings and stabbings.
So does any reasonable person, but you can't blame a whole genre of music for that kind of REAL criminal activity.
People who shoot and stab people are criminals and should be dealt with as such.
Logically, you would also need to decry all violent computer games and violent films if you follow your "downer" on hip hop through to other areas.
Is that what you are suggesting?
Btw I never met a musical snob yet who actually agrees that they are one, so I don't know if you're a musical snob or not.
But as we always say, who knows, who cares, let's move on...
...and the next!
