I don't think hip-hop is significantly different from steampunk, really.

Yeah, it's so easy to hate on the concept of Hood Internet, but then they do something like the Lil Mama/Marnie Stern one or the Pelican/Gucci Mane one, and you end up listening to it 900 times.

I'm saying, guys, I don't get behind the played, tired, wack, anachronistic, neon-tinted concept at all; but every once in a blue moon they produce something that I enjoy on a visceral level that transcends overthinking.

I'm really trying to wrap my head around a guy who's every fifth line is terrible being the savior of rap to Vibe readers and pfrok readers alike just because people like to parse shit like "I'm so high I could eat a star."

can i just reiterate that when i said 'hood internet' is my favorite shit, i meant the name 'hood internet,' not the actual hood internet which i have never heard

Though I WILL say that hipster-hop has been as hit or miss as any sub-sub-sub-genre:
-one or two killer MCs (Wale, Kidz In The Hall) -some OK-at-best singles from some not-so-killer MCs that probably won't be around next year (Cool Kids "Mikey Rocks," Knux "Cappuchino," Izza Kizza, "Walk That Dog") -some pretty awful rappers getting an amazing amount of hype because of the way they dress (Jay Electronica, Mickey Factz, Kid Cudi) -some downright loathsome shit that needs to get murked (Uffie, Kid Sister)
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Tuesday, 10 June 2008 20:38 (fifteen years ago) link
Also eth could you back up off dudes who're excited about a rap album I mean goddamn at least its not Wale or whatever the backpackisphere is riding for this month.
What's good spring/summer shit? I wanna know for real! I been off mixtapedx for a minute.

the backpackisphere
backpakistan
shit that was a missed opportunity
that izza kizza track isn't as good as 369

dudes who're excited about a rap album
excited is one thing, liveblogging an album drop is another
― am0n, Tuesday, 10 June 2008 21:41 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm not gonna involve myself in the arguments here, but I finally figured out what that Knux song reminds me of. It's definitely got a De La circa 2000 vibe to it.

-one or two killer MCs (Wale
let's try not to zing ppl who like the cool kids when you're calling a dude who sounds comatose a 'killer mc'
srsly tho ftr i don't think the cool kids are amazing rappers saviors of the game, just for a few young dudes they can flow well and got hot beats imo. more than you could say for wale anyway

Jay has vocal personality, interesting flow and internal rhyme schemes all over. Wale sounds like his Dad just dragged him out of bed and into the studio so he could lay down some rhymes.
