Never listened to Erykah Badu apart from a few features on Roots albums.

I like Lauryn Hill when she is rapping but the RnB stuff is terrible. Her first album is massively overrated.

One thing that bugs me about modern pop music is the need to include some random ass rapper on every single track.

Katy Perry put that Juicy J guy on "Dark Horse" and Kanye West on "E.T"; Maroon Five had Wiz Khalifa on "Payphone," etc. I wouldn't have much of a problem if the rap verses actually made sense in the context of the songs, but they usually don't. The song just ends up as another platform for the rapper to boast more about himself and nothing more.

I think this also points to a trend of genres trying to mix too much. Experimentation is fine, but when you have pop stars using rappers for their verses or country bands like Florida Georgia Line incorporating Hip Hop elements in their songs, it comes off as trying too hard. Plus, it's just plain annoying.

And don't Forget Ludacris rapping on "Baby" by Justin bieber, i agree, they need to stop this stupid trend.. they use these rappers as hype men in their songs, in some cases they don't even rap they just stand in the background going "What!? Yeaaa!" like lil jon, it's like you said, they're mixing the genres in an over indulgent kind of way.

I was with you until you slighted Nelly in that Florida Georgia Line song. Sure, it was a masterpiece and a song of the summer for many people. Nelly has done cross over music with country stars before and it works out very well. So I don't agree with your analysis. Also I'm getting this vibe from you that you just want to keep genres "pure". What's wrong with mixing up some hip hop into other genres unless you just outright hate rap/hip hop music. Kanye and Wiz had really good verses but yes even I will admit that Juicy J's verse wasn't that strong on Dark Horse.

How are we defining 'important' here? Influence on music? Pop culture? I'd say that The Beatles are more important as a musical influence just by the sheer amount of bands that cite them, but as a pop culture influence Kanye is a contender.

Welcome back btw.
