I agree. But you can't judge the fact that your music is better than 50 Cent and Sean paul and then say that this makes rock music better than hip-hop. he best hip-hop artists don't even get that kind of coverage on TV and stuff, it's more underground. I warn you though, next time you win the bingo or sumthin, take your wad of cash to HMV and buy Illmatic (Nas), Ready to Die (Biggie), Only built 4 Cuban Linx (Raekwon), The Art of Storytelling (Slick Rick), The Fix (Scarface), Better Dayz (2Pac), Lifestyles of the poor and dangerous (Big L), Capital Punishment (Big Pun) and Supreme Clientele (Ghostface Killah). Your opinion will change forever.
Yes, 50 Cent isn't all that good but he's not the best example of Hip-Hop, by any shout. Hip-Hop has produced some of the most memorable lyrics of any songs I've ever heard, some are touching beyond belief, some are just art. Don't judge books by covers, don't judge Hip-Hop by 50 Cent.

For example, Arch Enemy. That band scare me. Why? Women should not be able to sing like that!!!
