I like the early stuff when it was still kind of an offshoot of soul music, and I like the more jazz-based stuff like Digable Planets, US3, and De La Soul. And various other things. I live in an urban environment (Lower East Side of NYC) where I sometimes hear <i>a lot</i> of rap blaring on the streets and into my window, so I tend to get a little ODed on it. But whether I like it or not, I do respect what a lot of hip-hop artists are doing. Rap is really a connection to poetry as it was in ancient times. And yes, as we know, one should always respect the author (even if grumbling about what a @#$% goofball he or she is...) :) Don’t know that one–is it some sort of country/hip-hop crossover thing like Bubba Sparxxx?

I think the primary elements for successful copyediting in this genre and SF/F boil down to the same thing, though: respect for what the author is trying to accomplish. I love hip-hop. And country, oddly enough. I really enjoy Cowboy Troy's "I Play Chicken with the Train." :-) In general, I have extremely eclectic taste in music. Yeah, it really is a specialty in itself.

It's becoming almost another specialty, just like knowing the whole deal with sf/fantasy. I feel comfortable enough with it all, even though I'm older than most of those involved with it.; but a lot of people my age would be completely baffled by it all. And I'm not even particularly a fan of hip-hop, though I do like some of it...
