Well, hip hop is much more youth- and personality-driven than those other genres (although rock will always be the province of the young), so I think that might have something to do with it.  Hip hop also seems to be deathly afraid of growing older, even a bit, so it makes sense that you still follow other genres as…

You could make the argument that most of the homophobia in rap is more about the homophobia at large in the black male population than anything else.  Still, it really irks me, especially with Common (though, full disclosure, I can't stand Common and have disliked him for forever and a day), because I feel like a…

That's the thing; I agree with you that there's a pretty high level of diverse stuff being made right now.  It's not that I don't like it, or I think that what's being made right now isn't up to snuff, it's just that it just isn't going to resonate with me like the older stuff did, because of where I'm at in my life.

You can easily make a case for Muddy Waters being the quintessential Redman record.  It is, after all, brought to you by N.A.S.W.I.P.P. (a subdivision of I.K.S.R.T.F.O.).  But for me, personally, nothing touches Dare.  Aside from the awful Hurricane G verse, it's a flawless record.
