    The Message

    I'll never forget the first time I heard that rap. NEVER. And that goes double for "Fight the Power." I'm sorry, but nothing Kayne West or Mos Def has ever done will compete. Grand Master Flash and Chuck D were the Lennon and McCartney of rap, even if they never worked together. They were and are brilliant, but sadly past their prime. Until someone with their talent and brilliance comes along, we'll all have to put up with bird-brains like Eminem...who isn't a half-bad actor. Maybe he should try a career change, for the sake of all rap fans.
