As for the cool, ill try to get in another listen, looking at it from your perspective.
As for Jay-Z, no thanks could not care less.
see this is where you and I differ....I listen to rap first and foremost for the beats/production then secondly I listen for lyrics. Lately I've been listening to the lyrics a bit more and concentrating on them. I think for the most part, you just don't like Kanye West as a person. I agree with you on his lyrics though.

T-pain isn't that bad but I hate how everyone loves the way he sings when he's just using a mouth sythesizer that was made popular by roger something I always forget his last name.

As far as Jay-Z goes hate him or love him but you can't deny he's a commercial success through and through. I really liked American Gangster because of the samples that he used. They sounded straight out of the Superfly Soundtrack.
