1. don't listen to modern rap.
2. good artists:

beatles, rolling stones, etc (1960s british invasion era artists)
muddy waters, Robert Johnson, buddy holly, etc (1930-50 delta blues and early rock n roll)
johnny cash, Loretta lynn, john Denver, etc (classic "country")
Fleetwood mac, led zeppelin, acdc, david bowie, etc (70s generation blues)
blues rooted shit late 70s to early 2000s
most oldies. modern country and r&b is ASS kys.
