Well, with rap being unoriginal, I would have to agree half way. They get signed because they have a different style that will get them noticed above everyone else. The trouble is when they go in to record their sophmore albumn they still have that style that got them where they are now in the studio and the result is something very similar to what was on the previous albumn. I'm not a big rap person so I'm sure there are some flaws in my argument, so feel free to correct me where I may have gone wrong here.

As far as the white stripes, I would say that they are pretty unimpressive. What got them their fame was the raw and low quality sound on their albumns. People like it because it makes them feel like they are in the 60's when there weren't all the nice studio aids to make the music sound good regardless of how much it sucks. I don't think the white stripes are bad in like one or two song bursts but it gets monotonous after a bit.

Then Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park don't really get any respect from me. Limp Bizkit has just always seemed sloppy in their delivery. I prefer bands like (hed)pe and Reveille over Limp. The music just seems tighter. And as far as Linkin Park, they were assembled in the same fashion that N' Synk (sp?) was assembled. Granted there are a couple of their songs that I think are cool, it just seems embarassing that a studio would put together a rap/metal boy band.

Black Del Sol, if you want music with a strong beat and backbone, I would say to look into Quarashi, Kottonmouth Kings, or (hed)pe. Or if you want something different than that my two favorite bands are Jimmies Chicken Shack and Type O Negative. They are totally different bands but I enjoy them a lot
