Urban acts.
Remember all that fuss a while back about not enough 'urban' acts being involved in Live8? Well I've got the BBC's coverage on at the moment, and I think I might know why.

Urban... music... is... shite.

EDIT: In my opinion.

That's a sweeping generalisation

You're right. I apologise.
What I should have said was "I have never heard a single piece of so called 'urban' music that appeared to have any artistic merit whatsoever. What's more, I feel that the egotistic, materialistic, sex-obsessed pap dribbling out of my speakers at the moment is completely inappropriate for an event such as Live8".

(Waits for someone to sing about 'shaking their booty').
