And it has now become the same money-hungry scheme that the rest of music is. Silver teeth, 80 gram bling, expensive cars, big houses, "hoes", problems with the law, etc. I don't see the difference between rap stars and more "traditional" music. I give this one 0/100.
It doesn't matter what genre you're talking about, there are going to be groups that exploit their popularity the way you said above (bitches and hoes), and there are going to be genuine artists. My roomate forced me to listen to one of his favorite hip-hop groups last weekend. Their entire album was freestyle, but I didn't hear anything about "bling", "ho's" or cars. He was a genuine artist more interested in the realities of life than hip hop fame, which is what it boils down to for every genre.
I don't even use a CD burner anymore because of my Philips HDD100 mp3 player, but if I buy songs from ITMS, I have to burn a CD and then rip it back, costing me $.99 per song plus the ~10c per disc to burn songs. All of that when I could easily get the song for free? I think I'll keep doing it the free way until an acceptable alternative becomes available.

Interesting.
This post hasn't even been up 10 minutes and it's timing out for me. Anyone care to post a mirror?

You hit the nail on the head with this one.
