[quote="ORDoubleBlues"]In answer to the the question Mick, I'm 29 and I do like some of it but like all music there is some that I think is very ordinary.
For one example, I loved the song "Crossroads" by Bone, Thugs and Harmony from 1996 and went out and bought the album, which I didn't like.
Like(d) Tupac Shakur, Ice Cube, Warren G and liked the little known album by 213 (Snoop Dogg, Warren G and Nate Dogg) that was released last year. As far as "Black" music goes though, I am more of a fan of R&B.
Mick, you say you like Jazz, do you like music by the late Donny Hathaway and George Benson?[/quote]


oh yea, Snoop Dog, Warren G and Nate Dog how could I forget them... on of my favourite tunes.... Warren G ... REGULATOR....

White Line .... ??? can't remember there names

Not thinking of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five? Sometimes, the song is mistakenly attributed to Melle Mel, who does most of rapping on the song.

'White Lines,' an anti-drugs song, was one of their biggest hits.

To counter that there was 'Crack it Up' by Funkmaster Wizard Wiz - one of the very few PRO-crack songs ever recorded.
