I had a hard time with hip-hop for a long time. I didn't really get it. I came from a 'rock' background. When it finally clicked it was great. Because, unlike rock, and as Ted 'best new poster for ages' Kennedy says, hip-hop lends itself to intricate lyrics... because there isn't much happening musically. You get the ocassional exciting beat, but mostly the lyrics are the main focus, becuase the 'music', as it were, is generally repetitive and a-melodic. And yes, I do think hip-hop generally has better lyrics. Dylan's rhyming scheme is VERY take it or leave it, Nas' (and many other people's) 'rhyming scheme' is generally more diverse than your average rock musician.
Westwood, in spite of being the world's largest prick, is a national hero.
