I don't give a rip if rap is rappin' about the most sacred doctrines of God's holiest mindset. The style and beat is disgustingly irritating and whoever invented it should be hunted down like OBL and sent to you know where...where they both can rap 'til their flesh falls off!

Ann Arbor do your proper research before regurgitating false information from the movie the zietgeist and from individuals that hardly have an idea of what they are talking about. I have skimmed over the information on your websites and they couldn't be more incorrect in what they are claiming.
