What's wrong with hip-hop is the system that controls the definition of it. There needs to be more balance on the airwaves.

Have you ever lost yourself in a kiss? I mean pure psychedelic inebriation. Not just lustful petting but transcendental metamorphosis when you became aware that the greatness of this being was breathing into you.
