Re: FW: RUN-DMC?

I also understand that one of the guys in 3rd Bass is Jewish.  They included 
some
bizarre mock-Jewish shtick on their "Cactus" album ("Oy, Dante, what are we 
doing
in the desert?..."), which sounded offensive and possibly anti-Semitic to me.
The perception of anti-Semitism, in the case of rap, may be an assumption 
carried
by the hard ghetto-speak tone, rather than the actual content.  In other words, 
a
form of prejudice.  I guess, as with everything, it's very important to listen
for meaning.
