I like hip hop. I too describe it as urban poetry, at least the stuff worth listening to. I think good hip hop or rap, is very smart, the amount of knowledge condensed into a song is incredible and if you dont know a lot about a lot, you can find yourself listening to a bunch of meaningless rhymes.
The only French hip hoppish people I've listened to are Les Nubians, but that was yeeeears ago. I cant remember if I like it. From Spain I like Los Violadores del Verso.
We were actually supposed to hop on a mixtape with a French rap artist. Let me see if I can find her letter.

I thought you meant it as a double entendre. that's the trouble with text. or maybe I'm just paranoid.
i like some, i don't like others. i guess that about sums up all my interest in pretty much all musical genres.
No I didn't even notice the way it sounded the way I had put until you pointed it out.. and then I found it somewhat humorous..
