...Are all you progheads so close-minded about Hip Hop? Many of you complain about how close-minded your friends are, yet look at yourselves. Here are some bands to try:
Aesop Rock
Madvillain
Public Enemy
Notorious B.I.G.
EL-P
Atmosphere
KRS-One

Who is ALL? Please be specific and don't count us all inside. Some are; some aren't. Like you state afterwards:

(I personally and also many of my friends here listen to some of those you wrote and some others as well and some non-hip-hop/non-prog as well).

I really tried for a long time to get in to rap. Luckily my search has found a rapper I can really enjoy, Lil Wayne, or at least this one mixtape I've heard. It was downright creative and impressive, even to me.
Oh and I've been listening to Saul Williams for a while too, he's quite good.
butts, lol

I know you're not all this way, it's just I've seen post after post calling rap a 'pollution' and how it's 'killing music', or people saying that it's flat-out not music.

like you said in your initial post.
 
Anyway, I think it would be a good idea to simply try and counter-post with suggestions and a short explanation about possible things to listen to and why.

Ok. I'll make a rap intro compilation.

I would say ten years ago Hip Hop was probably the most creative popular music form around

I don't like many hip hop artists ... but I don't think that this means that I'm close-minded. I simply don't enjoy listening to the music, it doesn't appeal to me. There *are* a few tracks which I like, but those are all on the fringes of the genre and contain elements of other genres.

Still is. Prog is pretty stale right around now. Seems like it's just a bunch of old bands doing the same thing they've always done.

I wasn't saying just because you dislike it means you're close-minded. Just that I doubt most people have actually heard any, and condemn it just because.

You mean Chuck D? I think not. Lil Wayne is just plain awful. No flow, terrible hackneyed lyrics...

Not to go off on a tangent but I find it absolutely hysterical that Ice Cube made "Burn Hollywood Burn" when he is starring in a bunch of crappy movies.

But it's still funny that someone who rapped on f**k The Police is also in 'Are We There Yet'.
