Awful Song During Credits!!!

Why not? Its keeping in the cultural context of the film. Rap is international, its partially for a black fan base, since most of the entire cast other than DiCaprio, Connelly are black. It wasnt placed in the right frame, but it was meant to speak to a particular audience and initiate that irony of international blacks listening to rap. Zwick obviously didnt want this confused with Out of Africa or anything romanticizing this. This was a real problem, and it took the politics of impact music to illustrate its point.

Charlie Strom - So you think people of Africa only listen to rap because most of them are black? Wow, if that isn't one of the lamest comments I've heard! Don't you think they should have used more tribal-like music if they were to follow your module? Because last time I checked, rap comes from Black America, not Black Africa!

Secondly, hip hop/rap is lame in many ways: it's basically like taking child-like immature rhyming methods and using someone else' previous hit to put under it. The only thing it then has is a hook to it, but where can you go from there? Nowhere! Maybe that's why hardly anybody's listening to rap from anything over 5-10 years ago - it simply becomes outdated and boring! Meanwhile, people will be playing bands like the Beatles, the Stones, Zeppelin, etc. for all of eternity while people Naz and Jay-Z might be rich in the short-run, but their music dies quicker than dogs' lives!
