That being said the most popular forms of music today is rap or urban figures. I am not a fan of today's music either, but it has nothing to do with rap music. When Justin Bieber is popular there is not much for me to be interested in. No one is original and no one does anything that sets them apart. And even a silly show like American Idol does not have the most talented people win that can actually sing, that is a problem. But like everything people blame rap for everything like people here blame the NBA for everything. I wonder why?? Peace

To your point about NBA popularity, the NBA is experiencing some of its best ratings since the end of the Jordan era. Last year's game 7 of the NBA Finals was the most watched basketball game since the Bulls vs. Jazz game 6 game with the infamous shot from Jordan. NBA Finals Game 7 Average 28.2 Million Viewers, Highest Since 1998 NBA's TV ratings up across all national networks - ESPN Quote:

It's Kosher ...
Let's not forget the impact and influence of Jews in “the city game.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=5kS_faczjKk http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/..._CityGame.html Quoted from website above: "Today, the city game belongs to African-Americans. In the future, it will pass to Hispanics and other new immigrant groups." The racial, and ethnic, makeup of "our game" has always evolved. Who would have guessed, fifty years ago, that teams from other continents would be able to compete with players that grew up in the country where basketball was born?

I won't speak to many genres, but you make a good point. I personally put as much blame on heavy metal as I do rap: very little. I think these musical issues are more symptomatic than causative.

I HATE rap.
Guess what? I also HATE country music. When I watch the NBA, I watch it for entertainment value. What's entertainemnt to me? A multi-millionaire getting stuck in the *** by a referee for acting like a spolied brat.
