...And okra for all
Conceptually, it is, but I found Magma very accessible. It's very easy and fun to listen to them. Their music has very lucid flow and you kind of tag along for the ride until the very end, despite all the weirdnesss that's going on. The vocals may prove the greatest barrier.

If I want poetic genius I read Yeats or Blake. I don't really care that much about life on the streets.
I've heard Common and thought his music was catchy. I've heard some Cypress Hill, but probably not enough. I just can't listen to it for extended periods of time, and therefore can't bring myself to enjoy it immensely. I'm a fan of folk music (and some metal,
). Rap doesn't sit well with me.

Sounds interesting. I like some 70s prog, though I prefer it to be instrumental, since stupid lyrics about love/sex irritate me.

I think you're kidding?
Nelly is far from fucking lyrical genius. That kind of rap is for the immature, impatient consumer-driven masses. It has no positive value in society.

Duh, (mainstream) Rap these days is shit. Most mainstream music these days is shit.

Not all Rap is about homies, ho's, drugs, and money. Thats only for the past 10 years.

Yeah, not a big fan myself. I like the idea of rap - rhythmic, vocal centric, groovy, flowing - but rarely find anything I can get into. I plan to eventually put some effort into getting some decent rap, but for now there's just so much fucking metal I need to have.

OF COURSE I'M KIDDING!
BTW, that is 50 Cent and not Nelly. Nelly came up with the utterly brilliant catch line: "It's getting hot in here, so take off all your clothes." I mean, you need to be exceptionally clever to come up with something like that.

I'm not the biggest fan of those lyrics either. Pointless, in my book.
Rage Against the Machine isn't poser metal. They're not even metal. The rhythms and instrumental styles are different than most extreme or traditional metal styles (with the possible exception of Morello's guitar work). The lyrics are intelligent and intellectual, and far better than most metal lyrics to be quite honest. I'm reluctant to believe that you've actually listened intently to RATM rather than simply heard a few songs on the radio.
All my poser friends listen to them I don't know much by them but I can't stand the shit I've heard. I hate anything that is associated with rap, besides Death and some Progressive bands I don't think America has produced much good music.
If you don't like his voice, not much you can do about that. As far as poser metal, they never, ever claimed to be metal. A lot of people call them alt metal, but I'd say they're equal parts punk, metal, rap, and hard rock. As far as the sounds like rap, that's just in the way that he raps the lyrics. A lot of metal bands deliver their lyrics in a similar quasi-rap fashion. As far as boring and repetitive...whatever. But it doesn't get more repetitive than a blast beat (gee, I think I'll hit this a couple hundred times).
Yeah. But it does make the rap lyrics seem wholesome and intelligent.
