this was the 1st show ive seen where charlie didn't know WHAT he was talking about.
Intelligent music is general is never going to stay at the forefront of popularity, but it slips under the noses of stoopid masses once in a while. From Grandmaster Flash and Afrikaa Bambataa, to the Fugees and The Roots, "intelligent" rap has been around since the advent of rap, and will stay until rap and hip-hop go by the wayside.
And these rappers are still not known. That girl thought intelligent rap would flourish. :(
