But all was forgiven in October, when et al. took out the nation's top art award for restricted access, an installation that included footage of Holmes chastising the artists. The Walters Prize...
...does grow on you and soon finds a stomping middle ground between the Sugarhill Gang and Charlie Daniels. In the online-opinion maelstrom, about 50% of people seem to enjoy their first exposure to hick-hop; the rest can safely be described as horrified. "Can't spell rap without crap" and "NOT COUNTRY ... A SICK DISGRACE" are common threads, with even moderate dissenters saying that while they may like country and rap separately, they would prefer they stay that way.
