That's why I'm referring to 'commercial' music. I'm not judging the music itself - infact I'm judging all the people (myself included) who buy the albums and who listen to that music in clubs.

Now, I don't know about you but last time I went raving I didn't go to listen to jazz music. Commercial black music is Hip-hop and RnB. We can say its whiteboys in the surburbs that buy it but how do you explain the clubs? I mean isn't it kind of strange you go clubbing and you hear music with gunshots in it, and lyrics about 'bitches' and 'stompin on n-words' etc?

I love hip-hop. All of it. But that doesn't stop me questioning the content of it, or those who popularise it...
