32. Well, on that point I agree.
There used to be a lot of talented rap & hip-hop artists, but they were replaced by the destructive gangstas, and now the just plain dumb bling-bling types - and hip-hop has never been more boring (with a few exceptions)

I don't understand why todays kids aren't interested in SOUL music.

But I don't think it's about white society's stereotypes. Young kids that buy this crap think that bling-bling is COOL.

And the demeanor of a jazz performer is not that different from that of an R&B performer like Anita Baker or Luther Vandross, but if one of them were to die, it would be a big story - BECAUSE R&B is a popular genre, and Jazz is not!
