What 
Yes I know Fort Minor ( And Linkin Park) are usaully love it or hate it kinda sound, but I think that this shows that there are good rappers out there, those lyrical stylists of legend, and not just "gangsta's", and they openly diss the popular genre of rap.

Punk used to be good, then all the small high school bands took over and turned it to crap.

Yes I've heard them, and I really hate it. It's not like I've never given rap a chance. I've probably heard more rap than a lot of you, looking for good rap. I still haven't found it.

I must commend you for that, most people just like old bands like Led Zeppelin because there popular. It's sad that great bands like Led Zeppelin and AC/DC have turned into symbols for teen druggies. Jazz is great music, my favorite music to play. It's also the only music that hasn't been tainted like punk and other genres.

Jazz is also one of the more difficult genres of modern music to play. Any, any jazz musician, in my book, is worth several rock, country, etc. musicians on average. While there are some amazing rock and country and other genre musicians who are truly skilled, as a whole Jazz attracts a different breed of musician. A lot of both of the above genres use simple beats in terms of drums, guitars, and bass. In most Jazz, everything in the band serves a purpose, nothing is secondary, and quite often each portion has its own time to shine in the arrangement.
