Seems to me that the 'best' music from any decade is the stuff one likes the most. Unless, of course, I don't like it, in which case it is objectively bad. > To help prepare myself, can anyone >remind me of the name of a girl rapper who swore a lot.

You probably did dream it, but unfortunately your credibility is rescued by the fact that the lovely Real Roxanne seems to fit the bill...And yes, she did have somnething of a foul mouth as I remember, reserving her venom particularly for Roxanne Shante. Ah, hip hop slanging matches. Wouldn't it be good if Belle and Sebastian got into a recorded slanging match with some of their contemporaries? Perhaps they could see their way clear to 'dissing' Mogwai? A little vinyl spat between a few bands, slinging the insults just for fun, that would be cool. bye Tim ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
