Oh your just jealous. Clean air, clean water, affordable housing, cheap utilities, lots of room, low crime, no fighting traffic and more freedom. It's not all that bad. Believe me.
don't forget, ghost towns, lack of entertainment without driving over a few towns, few high end employment options. in fact few employment options in general. a good few hours of driving if you do need to get access to anything important that isn't in your town or city. want something nice? need to have it special ordered in.
ill give you clean air but depending on where you live in the kota's, "clean water" is debatable.
oh yea also, if you want to do anything other then sports in school or want to go to a decent university or technical school? better be prepared to move out of state.

Have you listened to their playlist stations like late night driving, 90's classics, late night studying etc? 75-80% hip hop and rap, which is ridiculous. For whatever reason, this isn't the case on Pandora.
ironic a station called "90's classics" had hip hop in it, considering the 90's was the pioneering "boom" in the hip hop genre and produced some the greatest artists not only in the genre but in the history of music itself?
also ironic "late night studying" has hip hop considering the largest demographic of students are between the ages of 12-25. also ironic the largest number of listeners of hip hop happen to be between 12-30. i wonder why this would effect a playlist about studying.
sure hate on hip hop, but even the biggest company in the world won't ignore a genre that has some of the biggest selling artists in the history of the music world.
face it, you guys may not like hip hop. sure thats understandable, i am not a huge fan either, especially if this new "trap" crap. but face it, it is a big standing genre and it is not going anywhere anytime soon. most of these "bling bling grillz' guys have bankrolled themselves with more gross and net income then most of us here on this website can imagine.
eminem has sold nearly 100million albums, (155million if you could all worldwide sales of his albums with D12 and Bad meets evil, the two groups he founded.)
tupac has sold nearly 75million albums. (~94m counting digital undgrounds albums)
Jay-Z has sold nearly 60million albums.
just these three artists make up a total of 235-300 million(300m counting tupac's and eminems non solo albums), already surpassing the album sales of the beatles, all under ~20 years at this point.
think about this. the beatles have sold ~260m in the past 60 years, while eminem is close to reaching half of that in just 20 years(has surpassed half if again you count the sales of the two groups he also started).
when apple sees numbers like these, when they see platinum and diamond records, one after another coming from the Rap/Hip-Hop community, of course they see dollar signs, they would be making a mistake to not do so.
just because you don't like it doesnt mean the world will custom tailor to your tastes. i personally don't like the beatles, but 263m people disagree and thats their right to. i also love talking to my parents about when they were young, and them telling me their parents used to say the same thing about the beatles, the eagles, stewart and billy joal, about kiss and ACDC, that people say now about hip-hop. it won't last, its garbage, its a buncha lazy artists. yet ask anybody aged 35-60 and I'm willing to bet they will name atleast one of those fore mentioned bands/artists as some of the "most iconic" or as "classics" or as "legends"
Whatever. I know what I wrote and why I wrote it and have no regrets.
