Trash?

I think they get money from things other than their Marketing scheme.

But Lemme guess...your a fan of the metaphor music huh?
Well tell me this...when you got a bunch of friends over at your house for a party or w/e...do you all play something like Talib Kweli and then gather 'round the stereo and say..

"Wow...what gripping and fascinating metaphors this emcee possesses in his vast and massive repetiore!! SIMPLY ASTOUNSHING!"

OR...when your outside driving ur car or something..would you blast something like Chino in ya stereo...and expect someone to say..

"Excuse me mister..the resplendence in the metaphors are splendid indeed!!"

Unless Australia is waaay different from NY and Trinidad...then those things won't happen.
Don't get me wrong...I like the metaphor and complex rappers...but that kinda music is mainly for when ur in ur house alone to listen on ya CD player.Those are music to listen to and think about by yourself.

Times call for 50 cent and his cathy hooks and simplistic rhymes....and other times call for Rakim/Talib/Common and their complexilty.

I don't think it's right to call 'em "trash" and say that their marketing shceme is the only reason they make money.
Their music DOES sound good....and that's something you can't deny..
