     You don't, cause those (c)rappers aren't even musicians. In fact, they
     even sample all their music, they don't write music at all. So they're
     not even COMPsicians! I mean, if Vanilla Ice & Tone Loc are the best
     (c)rap has to offer, then give me rock!

     name you ten (c)rappers; can you name ten Industrial artists? See what I
     mean?
