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.

Denying he is a commercial success would be ludicrous. I can't imagine anybody on earth would think to do something like that. The guy has had as many number 1 albums as Elvis freakin' Presley.
Next topic - I find it humorous that you listen to rap music first and foremost for the beats and production. That seems to embody that whole idea of not quite getting the point.
