Anyone who has been following rap since the early 90’s has to have a huge shit eating grin on thier face after seeing/reading about that. Karma IS in fact a bitch…
(HEAVY SIGH)
Now… moving on to something that I have been holding in for roughly 2 years now and just have to get off my chest.
I FUCKING HATE THIS RISE IN TRENDY *Poetic/Political/Emo/Indie* HIP-HOP SHIT AS OF LATE.
Now that Metalcore/HXC’s day in the sun is fading and name dropping your favorite metal bands doesnt get you as many friend requests on myspace as it used to, the feaux-emo scenester hipster fucks have traded in their Terror and Throwdown albums for Aesop Rock and Sage Francis Lp’s.
It was tolerable at first, when I simply could just ignore the nerd influx permeating hip-hop culture…but now…it’s everywhere. The same douchebag who swears that “Vampire Weekend” is a good band is telling you in the same breathe Slug is the greatest emcee he’s ever heard…not to mention MTV is promoting the shit between episodes of fuckin’ Tila Tequila and Elimidate or whatever the fuck kind of shit they are brainwashing dumb blonde sorrority girls with these days.
Don’t misunderstand…I enjoy some of this stuff myself ( Cage is still one of my favorites and I still enjoy Def Jux), but I also have a thorough understanding of the genre. I owned 36 chambers back in 94′. I bought “6 feet deep” when it dropped. My favorite group in 5th grade was EPMD because an older kid named Omar on my bus used to let me listen to “Strictly Business” on the way to and from school. I first heard MF DOOM on “ace in the Hole” from 3rd Bases ”Derelicts of a Dialect” when he was Zevlove X…all of this before the file sharing/wikipedia age. So when I tell you Ghostface is my favorite emcee…you can rest assured that I mean it, not because I am dropping the name to somehow boost my hipster scene cred.
Not every white nerd with ex-girl hangups and poor understanding of the political process can rock a mic and lace a beat, and those Atmosphere and Lil Wayne (This is a diff. subject all by itself) cd’s in your car don’t make you a hip-hop fan.
