saw a programme on Missy Elliots home last night. She has a Ferrari that has been converted into a bed, the bonnet has a home movie screen incororated into it and the boot is a cupbaord for just a few of her trainers. Personally I found it dead tacky, but hey each to his own!

If it was for a kid then that'd be another issue.

Good taste and rappers don't mix.

Seconded. It is all about being the most ostentatious with your wealth - ie. what stupidly expensive thing can I buy next so that I can really show off.

The sad thing is these idiots have absolutely no taste or discernment at all.

Very crass and very chav.

Vast amounts of money rarely mean good taste though!

I think i watched a bit of this before, did they show her Lambo (can't remmeber the model) but it was in this revolting green /w (i think) revolting green leather interior

EDIT:
Oh yeah almost forgot, the bed was crap and the screen was much to close. If you were watching tennis you'd get neck ache

Well, Nick Mason has a Ferrari kitted out with PS2 wheel and pedals so he can play his driving games.

Is that not "dead tacky" ?

They have different taste to you. Quite why you think that makes them "idiots" escapes me.

Some people would say the same about opera.....


Why do you have to put down people with different tastes to yourselves ?
Her car, her money, her choice.

I think it's a great idea, but badly carried out. It looks to me like there was body damage to the shell anyway.

I don't think it'd be too bad it it was done properly using something which was beyond repair in any case.

Why do I think they are idiots? Because they have such poor taste - quid pro quo.

As for likening opera to Rap, well, I think you have highlighted the flaw in your argument.

I am my own judge of what constitutes good taste - which is by definition going to be subjective. However, if you think massive gold chains and iced out watches are the height of discerning purchasing and not just an ostentatious and vulgar display of wealth then that's up to you.
