What is hotter right now than hipster rap music?
The Cool Kids, the Knux, Kid Sister and KanYe West have everyone wearing keffiehs and drinking iced cafe lattes. What’s more is that they have removed the focus of rap lyrics away from the themes of streetlife and drug sales depravity.
Unfortunately, the theme of debt has now replaced the depravity. Be careful what you wish for Hip-Hop, because you just might get it. Socially, we couldn’t afford to continue listening to nihilistic rap any longer, and now I listen to narcissistic rap about shit that I can’t afford. Y’all folks certainly don’t want to see my ass in any skinny jeans either. Anything I dropped on the floor would have to stay there or else I would have asscrack in everybody’s eyesockets.
You don’t ever have to worry about me wearing skinny jeans but I love my new wave 1980’s Euro pop music even more than Mr. West does. Am I in danger of becoming a hipster rap fan? If loving music from the 1980’s means that I am a hipster then call me your blipster. Synthesizer technology was complete by 1981 and as I sat in my parent’s basement with my Casio VL keyboard and my Commodore 64 computer I dreamed of being a robot one day. So don’t knock hipster rap music because it will one day lead to robotic rap music which is the harbinger of the rapture.
Check it… I just wanted to play a few songs for you, and its 4am, and I am drunk. Just listen to these tracks sampled from one of the great 1980’s new wave synth jams.
‘Cars’ – Kool G Rap
‘Cars’ – Kirb & Chris
‘Cars’ – GARY NUMAN
