I'll have to listen to that later, but it seems to me that right now hip-hop's where mainstream rock was in the mid-80s - crass, middle-American, busily absorbing every subgenre in sight, otherwise creatively bankrupt.

WHAT?

CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:38 (twenty-one years ago)

I want that billboard!

I've been listening to hip-hop most of my adult life and the last few years it just seems all "been there/done that". I'm tired of the subject matter, I'm tired of the beats, it just seems like nothing new is happening. Now that my generation's starting to pop out babies I have to wonder what these kids will listen to that my generation will hate....

I agree and have been thinking the same thing.

look at that kid in the first post and tell me hip-hop hasn't evolved.

CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 29 July 2004 22:15 (twenty-one years ago)

the kid looks NOTHING like Afrika Bambaataa.

CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 29 July 2004 22:15 (twenty-one years ago)

That kid does indeed have a set of brass balls to be wearin' that shirt, but just think back and remember these idiots:

to be fair, they did have the Bomb Squad giving them the thumbs up.

CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 29 July 2004 22:20 (twenty-one years ago)

sure hip-hop has evolved, but that kid doesn't represent the apex, he represents the zenith. It's all over - hip-hop is everywhere, everyone loves it, it's absorbed every other style of music, there's nowhere for it to go now. Time for something else.

this guy was on the same label. I'd never heard about him until my sister found his tape on the clearance rack at some NY store.

CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 29 July 2004 22:24 (twenty-one years ago)

oh oh, I want a "I am progressive bluegrass." Although I doubt it'll hit with the same force.

But--but... mid 80s mainstream rock was awesome.

I see the analogy though, and enjoy the two on about the same level. If I hear a mainstream hip hop track on the radio I turn it up, same with 80s rock, just don't ever feel the impulse to buy the album.

you guys still dig waffles or are they dead too?

CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 29 July 2004 22:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Nobody knows ... I had Kelly Bundy!

I'm not above a little necrophilia, things may be dead and still loveable...
