But at least it's not as bad as country. "I worked on the farm all day then took my T-Bird to the bar and got drunk". Really cute.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not much of a country fan myself.. but as long as we're trying to be open-minded and trying not to stereotype music into a broad category here.. people are kind of ignorant about the message in country music. Yes, many of the songs are just about women and beer and "hick-ish" things (but much of rap is about women, and bling, and "gangsta" things), but there are good country songs out there, too. Now granted, many of these topics don't have as much that maybe a younger crowd can relate to, but there are songs that deal with living life to the fullest, long lost love, watching your children grow up, those kind of things.

I dunno. I just often see people talking about how others need to see the good messages in some rap music, but then they toss in "atleast its' not as bad as country" and then reference it all being about trucks and women and hick things. Not all of it is..

(Primarily a rock fan btw :P)
