Art is subjective. Always has been, always will be. You act very snobbish and arrogant about it sometimes. Case in point, see above.
I "dig past top 40" but like eating Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches, I don't have to listen to Kanye or other hip hop to know it sucks - in my opinion. Contrary to what you think about me - and I really don't care all that much - I listened to some of the stuff that you pointed me towards a few months back. Some of it was OK. Some was crap - in my opinion. Doesn't make me wrong, because guess what - a lot of other people feel the same way. Listening to something I don't enjoy doesn't make me enlightened. It's like drinking Chardonnay. You can have my glass.
