Rap Music!!

I know this board is mainly rock music, which I listen to a lot. But I also like to bump rap music just as much. Im not just one of those people who are like, "damn man did you hear lollipop!? Lil waynes fucking sweet!" and then front like they listen to him. I listen to wayne, but I have been listening to him way before he got famous. But when I listen to rap music, I listen to it for a purpose. That's the reason I like older rap better, example- nas, wu tang clan, big, 2pac. Anyways I just wanted to know all of your opinions about rap music.
