Guilty pleasures

This really applies to elitists, I suppose, but what artists or songs do you like, but normally avoid by principle or find your taste to be above it.

I'll go with Camron's Purple Haze, shit's a banger, though I'm pretty sure Camron isn't looked down upon by the general consensus, or is he?

This one probably is

Purple Haze, ahh what an album!
I've been playing Killa Cam and Down and Out a lot lately, the bootleg version of the album is worth checking out too

For me, its the new Mayback Music release (only leaked a few days ago)
Banging beats, ignorant lyrics, over the top hooks, all spear headed by ROOZAAAY!!!
I know, the guy's an asshole, but his music is pure entertainment (backed up by some astounding production)
Same sword they knight you they gon' good night you with
Sh.., Thats' only half if they like you
That ain't even the half what they might do
Don't believe me, ask Michael
See Martin, see Malcolm
You see Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome
See Jesus, see Judas; see Caesar, see Brutus
See success is like suicide
Suicide, it's a suicide
If you succeed, prepare to be crucified

T.I. I'm not sure if he counts, but I love Paper Trail.

Also, I listened to The Carter 3 a lot when it first came out. I'd never be caught blasting that in my car, but I actually find it good to listen to. And although Wayne is criminally overrated in the eyes of mainstream n.iggers, he does have a very unique style. (well, used to be unique)

Yeah.

Flo-Rida's 'Low' song.. I hate it for being catchy and it's always stuck in my head for hours when I hear it.. But I got in on my mp3 player tho.

And probably 50's songs too, although his older stuff was pretty decent.

I enjoy "We takin over", bangin' song :wub:

Also "Forever", Drake, Wayne, Kanye and Eminem. Beat could be a lil' better. :wub:

I thought Bad season by Tech N9ne was amazing for a mixtape. I don't pass 3 days without listenin to at least 5 songs from it. At the beginin' people was disappointed with Bad season.... :confusion:

I have little guilty pleasures.. I ain't guilty of almost nothin I do :whistle:

Lil Wayne :whistle:
sometimes i give "tha carter 3" a listen.

However, it is hard to look forward to "tha carter iv" after he put that rock album out.
