I don't know if it's the lyrics you have to pay attention to when listening to rap or whatever, but I just cannot get into rap at all. However, the Beastie Boys are an exception if they count since they have a few songs that I dig.



So electronic dance music means nothing to you I guess.
Try listening to Massive Attack's "Mezzanine." A lot of rap elements mixed with dark, more accessible ideas. It opened the door for a lot of things with me and could do the same for you.
