I don't have any kind of comprehensive knowledge of rap in general, that's for sure. But I can _sing_ you about half the songs on Luda's "Word of Mouf," "Chicken and Beer" and "Red-light District" and 50 Cent's "Die Tryin'" and "Massacre" and Lloyd Banks's "Hunger for More" and Kanye's "Dropout" and "Late Registration" _word-for-f*ckin-word_ because the last couple of years my son Felix has subjected me to the Ludovico Treatment utilizing those particular albums. So I can tell you, from a position of less than complete ignorance, that "Gunz Come Out" and "We Got" and "Die One Day" and "Go 2 Sleep" are bullshit.
