Name of the game

O.K., it's no secret that I hate almost all rap and hip-hop music. It's beyond tasteless, and requires about as much talent as you acheive by the third grade. If you've got a beat-box, a Casio keyboard and a thesaurus you can be famous. And these "artists" are demi-gods in their own little world, covering themselves in "bling", living in huge mansions (oh, I'm sorry "cribs") that they decorate with cheesy crap, and drive around in expensive cars that the rest of us who actually work for a living could only dream of owning...and they own 10. If these people had any REAL talent I'd eat my words...but they don't. They are products of some mass-produced money machine, and most will live out their days as one-hit wonders at best. As if their "music" wasn't painful enough (See Missy Elliot's train-wreck "Get your freak on", where the same 3 notes are played continually...over, and over again throughout the entire song. Holla!) they have to subject us to the most ridiculous names...

Below is an actual advertisement I found for an upcoming "concert".

"Featuring Printz Board and Tim Izo Orindgreff. Guest artists apl.de.ap and Tabloo."

Seriously?
