When are you going to post some good Hip Hop?

Plaschke: Scioscia, the former Dodgers catcher, is the model manager who has created an atmosphere of winning.
Junior:It's that simple. Mike Scioscia brings a Glade Plug-In labeled "Winning™" into the clubhouse and everyone who breathes it in gains 15 points in average.

Y’all ready to get busy? (huh huh!)

SIFT the flour roll the dough
Clap your hands and stomp your feet
Move your butt to the funky beat (huh huh)

Pure poetry ya know.

Why just hip hop videos?

Do you

Really have to ask?

by brettgardner on Jul 18, 2008 5:34 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Yeah

There’s plenty of ridiculous music video on youtube, not to mention nostalgic stuff for the Gen Xers. Hip hop’s just one aisle of the candy store, Brett.

Go Strangers.

You're preaching

To the converted here, my friend.

Personally, I hate the lot of it.

My point in asking was that of course he’s only going to put hip-hop videos up, because every Gen-Xer I’ve met thinks he’s the only white guy who ever liked rap. It’s hardly ever anything too dangerous, though.

I really just can’t wait for the 80’s to fade away, because they seemed to produce a generation of ironic, self-aware douchebags whose idea of a productive day is to see how many random—but always incredibly pervasive—pop culture references they can shoehorn into any situation. Bonus points for a shitty movie and triple word score for a horseshit cartoon.

I can’t wait for that moment 15 years from now when I’ll have the pleasure of bitch-slapping a co-worker who tries to crowbar in a “Rocko’s Modern Life” reference during our water-cooler circle jerk.

Of course, I think I recently contributed a Simpsons quote along with a “Do they know it’s Christmas” reference, so I’m not sure that I’m absolved. “Not a Gen-Xer” is my excuse.

I think I'm one of the few

white guys who readily admits he hates rap, has always hated rap, and will never like rap for more than a novelty effect.

The way I see it

Good music’s good music.

I have a theory, which seems fairly reasonable, that in any category of music, only about 10% will qualify for very good music, and probably only 5% (if that) will be timeless.

There were shitty Baroque composers (they just don’t get remembered because the London Symphony doesn’t dedicate an evening to the “one-hit wonders” of the 1720’s) just like there are some rappers who are spectacular.

But, if you’re just talking about the way the stuff hits your ear, then I completely understand.

by brettgardner on Jul 18, 2008 11:22 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

I'd agree with much of that

There is good and bad in any genre, to be sure, and there are only a few genres (of which rap is definitely one) that I just don’t like enough to even listen to the good. I just don’t think rhyming about how awesome you think you are to an insanely repetitive background noise is all that cool.

Time you enjoy wasting was not wasted.

I am with you

I kinda liked the silly rap of guys like Tone Loc and the Fresh Prince when I was in high school but that’s about it. Actual rap is just a bunch of indecipherable garbage set to “music” produced with a really nice Casio keyboard.

Let me have a diablo sandwich, a Dr. Pepper, and make it fast I'm in a God damned hurry!

You must not have met very many. Pretty much every white guy that I know around my age likes rap, particularly from that era.

Man.

I have to assume you’re not familiar with the particular phrasing I used (the only…who ever..). It was clearly an exaggeration for effect, as the word “ever” should tip off.

Once you understand that, you should then see why your comment has no relevance to anything I said.

I am familiar with it

It is just hard to differentiate between you exaggerating for effect and your usual sincere blustering.

Sir Mix-A-Lot

A good group from the standpoint that they weren’t glorifying thugs, drugs, treating women like shit, etc. Way back in the day I used to listen to NWA and all that other stuff, but Sir Mix-a-Lot was always a nice change of pace.

Nothing pithy here. Please move long.

Good ref for the shorties, but wrong track

Why not his opus:

I’m a Trip (van dammit if I can find it on the series of tubes), 12 inches and 7 minutes of furious funk. This is the closest I could come to a download:

For my money, Posse on Broadway kinda sucked.

It is either P.E.’s My 98 or this dopeass forgotten gem for best hip hop song of the 80’s.

Next week Adam, drop some Biz Markie on the younguns… .

Sir Mix-A-Lot...

“Baby Got Back” was better. I remember listening to that song in Jr. High at parties. I thought it was the funniest video I had seen up to that point.
