Hi, I need a complete list of top rap artists & their band & songs.
Also a complete list of other categories as well...example-rock'n'roll
artists, r&b artists, country artists, etc...
This list needs to be in a simple text format like so...
snoop dogg
eminem
50 cent
ludacris
tupac (and so forth)
The more detailed, the better. Thanks!!

Request for Question Clarification by pinkfreud-ga on 29 Nov 2005 21:31 PST

A complete list of all musicians and all songs is obviously not
feasible. Can you narrow this down in a way that will be manageable?
For example, "I need a list of 100 rap artists" is quite do-able. "I
need a list of all rap artists and all rap songs" probably isn't.
You'll almost certainly get better results by posting a separate
question for each musical category, and by telling us precisely how
long a list is required.
