If Jay Z comes on the radio or TV i immediately turn it off/over. Can't stand him although to be fair he has several other 'urban' artists that are on my same 'irrational hatred of' list all of which make my ears bleed:-
Missy Elliott
The Streets
Dizzee Rascal
And 90% of most other Rap/Hip Hop
Also, just to show it's not just urban stuff – Bjork.
It's probably that i'm just not 'down wiv da kids' anymore but it all just seems like disposable untalented rubbish? Get a catchy old tune that everybody likes, keep the catchy chorus and then rap sh1te over the rest of it – bingo – top 10 hit. I just hope the original artist gets most of the cash?
It would appear that millions of people worldwide disagree with my musical taste though and lap up the urban craze…….
