Don't get it twisted...
I think music should be accesible and enjoyable as well....to a point. As far as what hip hop I listen to...that's all a matter of personal preference. I can't sit through movies like Dodgeball, Happy Madison, etc. But 40 Year Old Virgin and Anchorman I actually do like...I just won't buy them on DVD or anything to that effect...I'll rent them and watch them on Netflix and return them that day. I rent those movies that tend to be international, documentaries, disturbing or depressing....this are the movies I usually keep for a while, watch multiple times and end up buying...the only "comedy" in my 200+ DVD collection is "Clerks"...this gives you an idea as to the type of person I am. I liked "Tell Me When To Go", "Super Hyphy", "Gangsta Party", "So Fly", "Poppin' My Collar", etc. but none of it moved me enough to spend money on the singles or purchase a full album of material like that. That's not me...I own Aceyalone and Divine Styler CD's as well as Little Brother, Slum Village and Clipse CD's. It was no big deal to like Kid N' Play, Kwame, KMD, Brand Nubian, Poor Righteous Teachers, Kool G. Rap, Ice T and The D.O.C....it was all considered hip hop and no one would bat an eyelash to see these tapes or CD's in the same collection. Nowadays, the music is so divided that a Nelly fan would NEVER own every Roots album. The only place you can see a Nelly CD near a Roots CD is in a damn record store...The game done changed, recognize and realize it. One.
