A civil war for the soul of rap music has been brewing ever since UnKut Dot Com released the salvo asking readers to vote on the biggest hipster rap douchebags. What makes me laugh inside is how sensitive rap fans (and quiet as its kept, rappers) can be about their favorite shit.

The problem with the internets is that thoughts and opinions are transferred so quickly that no one gets a chance to process what is being said. Combine that with the perspective of a thirteen year old and you have all emotion with no understanding. I still love speaking to the little dunns though. They are the future and I am determined for the future not to be too ghey. A little ghey is fine. Too ghey, not so much.

My homeys, the Kidz In The Hall, were placed on the list of hipster rap douchebags and this has touched a nerve or two with their fans. I agree with them that they were on the scene rocking their vintage ‘Lo gear and their vintage I.T.’s before most of these other johnny come lately rap bands, but even KanYe had placed that steez back out front several years ago so they can’t claim that. The Kidz In The Hall find themselves grouped with the hipster rappers because that is what the music business media seeks to do. Artists have to labeled in order to be commodified.

That’s why M.I.A. and SantoGold find themselves being tagged as Hip-Hop acts. If Trip-Hop were still a viable (read: sellable) demographic then I’m sure that is where we would find those ladies. If backpack rap included younger artists then maybe that is where Kidz In The Hall would find themselves also. Instead of worrying about how the media defines them the Kidz should just continue to make that good music. At the end of the day that is what will sell your records.

The Kidz latest CD ‘The In Crowd’ is a significant step up from their Rawkus records debut. Naledge has improved his rhyme flow and his content. While Double O’s production is also on the rise. From their first CD I couldn’t help but listen to these cats and reminisce on shit like ’93 Til Infinity’ and with this next disk some early Clipse / Neptunes productions comes to mind. At least these dudes reflect on the best parts of instant vintage rap music. I have a track here with Naledge and Camp Lo. I fucks with this joint heavy. Nice drums and horns on the beat. Camp Lo goes in. ‘Nuff said.

I don’t mind the Kidz at all, but I hope their future joints really step from behind the shadows of the giants that influenced them. These are young dudes though. They have their whole careers in front of them to create their imprint in this rap shit. They will be around long after all these other hipster rap bands are back to working in the stockroom at IKEA. By that time there will be another demographic patrolling the rap scene, possibly Krip-Hop, or who knows what else. The main thing is that being a top-shelf hipster rap douchebag has worked wonders for Lupe and KanYe. It’s time for the Kidz In The Hall to make it work for them.

Shouts to Double O too for being a good sport and a funny dude.

There’s A Hulk In Your Medicine Cabinet…

Even while I let the fanboy inside of me enjoy himself you can best believe I have my third eye always turned on and wide open. The ‘Incredible Hulk’ movie was just like ‘Iron Man’ in that it fully described the level at which our government is complicit in crimes against humanity and more importantly, human nature.

The concept of a genetically enhanced human has been floated around for centuries. As soon as doctors and scientists discovered viruses and the antibodies that conquered them they have sought to husband those qualities into humans. So that people could become more productive workers and of course, more productive warriors. As mankind has increased its technology the same degree of knowledge has been applied to creating “better” humans. Eugenics is the precursor to cloning, which will prA’li give way to cybernetic organisms. You know, cyborgs and shit.

A few notes struck me as interesting in the Hulk movie which weren’t detailed fully so my mind has been allowed to speculate on what might be. There is a biologist character in the film who appears to want to help heal Bruce Banner and has used a blood sample of his to create thousands of liters of a blood plasma that mimics Banner’s bloodtype. The biologist has used the plasma to perform untold experiments. The university that the biologist works from is located in Harlem. I believe that the biologist used poor, indigent Harlem residents for his experiments. Just like the pharmaceutical industrial complex does in Africa and Asia.

These experiments are funded in some cases by the United nations, and they are monitored closely in many instances by the Centers For Disease Control. Yes, the same agency located in Atlanta, GA. You might ask yourself why an American public health agency monitors and records the experimental infection of infants with what is described as HIV, but in all reality is simply, and horribly a biotoxin? Are these experiments meant to shed light and provide information on how toxins act and react within our own bodies? Don’t call me a conspiracy theorist. I just read a few comic books. A lot.

I also follow the storyline that describes the military’s need to create supersoldiers. War is hell. Always has been, always will be. This is why Army recruiters typically target young children. An 18yr old is a child. Even if they are given the right to drive a motor vehicle, secure a marriage license and consume tobacco and/or alcohol. Their minds are certainly still childlike and haven’t fully developed the receptors for empathy or compassion. If these young people do return from the war front they have borne witness to sights that transfix them for their entire lives.

The super soldier serum that was being developed was supposed to dissolve the part of the brain that is disturbed when you kill another human. It would be sort of like a lobotomy for your conscience. Is this the serum that General Ross hoped to create inside of the laboratory with his daughter and Dr. Banner? I know I am mixing up the storylines of reality and fantasy fiction, but I wonder which is more believable? The true measure of our civilization isn’t the technology that we create, but how we learn to treat each other as humans.

The avarice of greed has fueled more discovery than simply the search for truth and peace. There is a Hulk inside of us all, and thankfully we don’t know how to unleash it.

A Milli… Vanilli

‘Girl You Know Its True’ > ‘Lollipop’

Rap music is firmly entrenched as pop music now. And just like everything else in the popular culture universe, from reality shows to daytime television, the world turns on a soap opera.

The Fisty Scent saga with his weedcarriers is never ending. When is Lloyd Banks going to get into the act? Between Tony Gheyo pimp smacking children to an actual woman named Shaniqua burning down houses and now a confused Young Bucktooth, Fisty Scent doesn’t even need to release a record to be an entertainment powerhouse. Why isn’t there a reality show on t.v. now following him around. We would get to see firsthand exactly how close Gheyo keeps it [ll].

The Young Bucktooth reply almost flew up as fast as the taped phone call too. Damn, the internets doesn’t wait a fucking minute. This shit ain’t like the old days when we would have to wait months to get a reply on vinyl. I just read a news article that said that vinyl sales were on the rise. Who the fuck is buying records now? I mean who has a record player anyhoo. I know who is buying CD’s though. Thirteen year old white girls a/k/a the Miley Cyrus Soulja Boy demographic. Generation P for puberty. P is also what R. Kelly likes to do to these chicks.

Lil’ Wang is about to do Milli Vanilli Ice numbers with the ‘Carter III’. I’m not surprised either since that album does have the new millenium ‘Macarena’ on it. I went through a week of hearing ‘Lollipop’ in so many different places I just had to laugh. Baseball stadiums are using it to warm up crowds. Never mind the lyrics of the song. Its not like he’s telling people to ‘Superman that ho’. That is also pop music’s greatest advantage. It can take anything decent and innocuous and transform it into something ribald and inane.

Lil’ Wang and Young Bucktooth are going to be the crap music stories of the summer. Fuck that new NaS album. I was waiting on the Gayme’s latest album as well, but it looks like Fisty Scent is going to drown out dude’s voice with all of his shenanigans. The new G-Unit album wasn’t even high on list of shit to fuck with despite the few tracks I had already heard having some fire to them. Now I wanna listen to that album just to see if Fisty admits to burning down his house. Rap dudes stay telling on themselves.

What do you think is next for Kanghey? I can’t imagine that dude to just sit still and let all these cats get headlines while he only gets bylines. This crap shit is hee fucking larious. I can’t forget about the little general T.I. either. Or drunk ass Jeezy. I’m glad school is out so I can just fucks with crap music and all of its characters. The south stays losing though. No matter how many records Lil’ Wang sells.

apple

You know how I know that America still isn’t ready for a Blackish president? Because there is still a taboo around words in the English language.

One word in particular.

Cunt.

I was hoping that this word would go mainstream this summer. I love saying it too. It transports my mind to another place. I imagine a cunt to be tasty and sweet like a fruit. Just look at the apple above. That is the image that forms in my mind when I think of a cunt.

JOHN McCAIN loves the word cunt as well. That’s why he called his wife one. I’m pretty sure he was also thinking of something delicious to eat as well. I’m going to say the word cunt fifty times today. It may get me elected into office one day.
