    I used to be anti rap, and for the most part I still am but there is some that is actually enjoyable to listen to at least to some degree. I have also noticed that reggae, country, and some of the r&b crossed with rap is actually recorded and mastered well so that it sounds really good on my system. Most rap is C-rap in my opinion, and the kind of people that like to listen to it really destroy it with the underpowered over driven speakers on the worst system ever. These boom boom kids rolling down the street with the vibrating and rattling trunks are the worst. I want to tell them that they think they are so cool, but they have such crappy systems and such crappy calibrations that they look like fools to the world.

    It sounds like your neighbor falls into that category of rap listening. They want it to sound like rattling distortion and crackling speakers about to split open just like my eardrums.

    I got a friend of mine thats a cop and he tells me about pulling people over that actually have earplugs in so they can turn it up louder. Marty Robbins; Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs. Cash, Robbins, Willie, and Eddie Arnald is about as far as i delve into country. Can't stand the new country Oh yeah, forgot about Hank, Patsy and Leeane

    Dan Auerbach...Keep it Hid...vinyl

    I know I'm going against the flow, but 10 years ago I was a senior in high school bumping 2pac, biggie and snoop out the back of my 1989 oldsmobile 98 with two twelves. I wasn't a bad kid. I've since graduated college, have a decent job, a family, and a much better taste in music.

    A lot of these guys will never amount to anything, but a few are just on their journey.

    Sorry to get all high and mighty on the subject.

    As DarqueKnight says "careful and consistent causes your ears to evolve".

    There's good and bad of every genre of music. As we get more experienced we can move beyond sipping gin and juice. Barboncourt rum on ice is much better for sipping.

    Rap by definition is not music, it's spoken word mixed and sampled with bits of music samples. There are rap tracks, but not rap music. But funnily enough two people made their own language, JRR Tolkien and snoopdog.

    Listening to some Keb Mo that I havent broken out in a whole, before that some Aqua. Before that sues and vega. I might set the bedroom to wake me up to JayZ just to enter NFL day In the right mood

    If your talking about Rubber Soul he's absolutly correct. One of there best. I have the remastered set in stereo. I'm thinking the original mono may even be better. Rick would know. I like all there music but Rubber Soul. Sgt Pepper and Abbey Road are must haves.

    I recommend the non-remixed by George Martin, but mixed and produced by George Martin mix. The remixed Rubber Soul has completely the wrong tones for voices and instruments. It was mixed on a modern day (non-tube based) mixing console and sounds completely wrong. Actually, I prefer the U.S. version of the album (or Capitol version). The track list is better and as stated before is mixed with better tones.

    And yes, this album is essential to your collection. Get the Capitol boxed set Volume 2. That's the best one to have, IMO.

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....
