The fact that you admit to liking music that middle-aged professionals do says just as much about your tastes. As far as "limited insight and experience" - it's my vast amount of these that allow me to make such judgements. If you want mature music that sounds well crafted listen to classical music. And why not judge a musician based on who listens to them; there are so many bands out there and so many reason to like them or not, in the end, it's just as valid a reason as any other.

Why the fuck has he got a name that sounds like a kitchen cleaning spray? "Jay-Z cleans even baked-on stains, and polishes to a lemony-fresh shine!" I don't care if Paul Simon's cool or in-fashion, he's an incredible craftsman and that's what's important really. The fact that his music gets judged on the basis that 'middle aged professionals' listen to him, says more about the limited insight and experience of those making the judgement than the artist himself. Where the fuck has Jay-Z been since 1989?!
