its not that hard: just remember this inside your head everytime a hater comes up to you:

"I dont give a fuck what this person thinks"

and by rap/rock crossovers do you mean stuff like linkin park? they aint annoying, they make great music. Dont u see what youre doing? saying fuck hip hop haters for being so close minded when your saying fuck rap/rock fans....

just cos u like rap as your fav music type doesnt mean all other stuff sucks and vice versa... but i do agree that commercial rap like 50 cent is kinda pointless except for the beat... if anyone claims that they listen to inda club or shake ya tailfeather for the lyrics, they arent true rap fans
