Those that complain about MC overpopulation and co-opting of
urban culture should consider this:
It’s a user-friendly medium
A paint-by-number
Discount madlibs
You just insert buzz words
Call that shit “adlib”
Now you have a story with so many holes
it sounds like a Wu Tang radio edit,
but you have a pocket that’s full of gold,
so you will not regret it, but people WILL forget it
your tattered Swiss cheese pile of repetition
“roll for dolo,” “chickenheads,” and “word is
bond”
“my third eye,” “my niggaz,” and “you know my
steez”
and my personal favorite, “you faggot MCs”
It’s great to see such a glaring example of bigotry be so ruthlessly overused
in an art form founded by a race so plagued by racial slurs that it had to employ
them in order to diffuse them.
It’s great to see African Americans giving homosexuals, a people who are
suffering similar prejudices and blind hate the same opportunity to assimilate
its own branding terms.
I especially like the part where you joke about that whole “respect for
women” crap. I would’ve thought you were serious if I didn’t
hear you referring to wack MCs as being “feminine” or “vaginal”
and holding stupid girl jobs like “actresses or nurses. ” I agree
whole-heartedly! – girls are cool to dance and have sex with, but get
them away from that M I C puhleeeeeeeeze.
It’s not a coincidence that “hip hop” and
“pop” are only separated by a few letters. Both of them are boring,
self-affirming un-progress
Square tires in cement mud
Sound tracks for cemeteries
Form without art
Public address without message
A gathering of great mimes.
I’m asking
for a resurgence of melody and substance. I’m asking for American music
to quit crowding itself
Jump out of the ditch
Challenge a listener
Motivate the youth to help themselves
Turn music from distraction to action
Life’s too short to stay in four/four
Hip Hop is too stagnant to be doing what’s been done before.
