Ah, the wonderful world of cassette tapes.
Don't Leave is my favorite Blackstreet song!

I also thought it was funny that both songs are super old. The article says they interviewed people in prison and I thought they must have been old convicts lol. No Diggity was out when I was in high school over 20 years ago! Lose Yourself was a part of the "8 Mile" soundtrack. I remember my soon to be 16 year old kid was a baby when that movie came out.

I honestly don't know anyone who doesn't like those song either. I like Lose Yourself more than No Diggity, but everyone who likes R&B likes the group Blackstreet and Teddy Riley in particular. He had a cool style back in the 1990s.



Good for you lol. The majority of the country doesn't agree with your view. Rap is the most popular music in the country.

I don't know how anyone who has ever been nervous about an interview, tryout, or performance can hate on "Lose Yourself."

Rap has done more to destroy western culture than anything else has. Rap and all the vernacular and fashion that comes with it is a cancer to society.

I agree. It is one of my favorite workout songs too!

I remember that I decided to make a line from it as one of my mottos that year

When a person listens to poison hours every day- it affects their mind and heart. People that listen to this garbage are ignorantly going along with satan.

People said the same thing about Elvis in the 50s. We survived.

Irrelevant. I once had someone tell me truffles were poison. He was wrong. Should I go eat rat poison now? Wait don't answer that question...

It's a motivator, alright. If people who don't like rap, or hip hop, or whatever you want to call it, would just listen to that song, they would see how utterly universal those feelings are.

Maybe the people telling you all rap is poison are also wrong.

Some of it is ugly and bad. So is some rock. So is some country.
