Remember Aerosmith? "Walk This Way"? Rap if ever I heard it. Seems like one of the rap groups actually did a version of this song not too awfully long ago.

I have heard it argued before that rap is a type of folk music because it supposedly expresses the values/concerns/etc. of a particular group of people. I don't know enough to agree or disagree with that.

I just got the Coldplay CD. I really dig it. :)
