Rap nerds are even worse than rock nerds 'omg you don't know the lyrics to thrak by king crimson what were you raised in a cave?? don't you know how influential they were in the progressive rock scene?? blah blah blah about time shifting and genre defying and other nonsense 99% of the music buying audience doesn't care about'

That's basically like saying Dilated Peoples never made an impact either.
