Guilty Pleasures!!!!!

[Yesspaz]

Been a while, but I think I'd have to add the only rap group I've ever liked. I recently found a "band" that blew me away with their one hit back in the early 90s, but I hated to admit I liked a rap song. Forgot all about it until VH1's top 100 one-hit wonders special.

I'm not afraid to admit that there's one 'rap' song that I find tolerable. I wouldn't go out of my way to find or listen to them, but 'Gangsta's Paradise' by Coolio is one that I won't reach to turn off as soon as I hear it. It's a decent song as those things go, but the thing that got to me was it's strong anti-gang theme.

Two points for Coolio for that one.

And yes, I did find it because of 'Amish Paradise' by Weird Al.

For crossovers, I've always thought Faith No More's "Epic" was a fantastic song. And early Rage Against the Machine is moving stuff. As long as they keep it interesting....bands like System of A Down combine metal and rap elements ok..

Coolio didn't nail a three?
