In reply to the discussion: Ari Melber, enough whining about the witnesses, and enough of the rap crap. [View all]ariadne0614
(1,708 posts)30. I can't relate to the rap, and used to assume he was trying too hard to be cool.
Over time, although I havent lost my aversion to rap, or discomfort over the bewildering cultural references, Ive learned to enjoy the challenge.
I appreciate his persistent, intentional effort to bring people from such disparate worlds into the same space. Its actually kind of fun, and no longer gets my undies in a bundle over my own discomfort. I dont think its a bad thing to stretch beyond my normal comfort zone for a few minutes a day.

A moderate amount of the music stuff was fine, but he has gone overboard, I think.
