Which is a damn shame, because rap has always made the musical world far more interesting, not only through its sharp, well engineered sounds, but also by the way it has always thumbed its nose at the conventional standards of society.

...council pestered by biased campus media and outspoken critics overly anxious to pounce on the slightest mishap and play down even the most notable achievements. And most troubling, it is a council that exists within a constituency of students who seemingly just don't give a damn...
