Hip-hop was probably the last great new American art form, right?

pug waffle (Whiney G. Weingarten), Monday, 9 January 2012 17:25 (fourteen years ago)

Got me thinking, but probably.

video games

thomp, Monday, 9 January 2012 17:31 (fourteen years ago)

video games run concurrently with hip hop though, maybe even a little before

and not as strictly "american" by a long shot

the 500 gats of bartholomew thuggins (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 9 January 2012 17:33 (fourteen years ago)

i meant the lana del rey single

thomp, Monday, 9 January 2012 17:33 (fourteen years ago)

i feel like the quest to define particular 'artforms' is an awkward one, because you're never going to be able to set a rigid definition of what an art form is or what a particular notion of an artform is? not that it matters, really, though if whiney's 'the last' means 'the last' rather than the most recent i'd probably disagree

thomp, Monday, 9 January 2012 17:36 (fourteen years ago)

you gotta credit the japanese for vid games to SOME degree now

Neanderthal, Monday, 9 January 2012 17:37 (fourteen years ago)

japanese video games are like the british hip hop of the art form

i'll let m@tt h. field this one!

Neanderthal, Monday, 9 January 2012 17:46 (fourteen years ago)

video games pre-NES = 50s rock n' roll/blues/r&b

NES-SNES - 1960s rock

PlayStation-PS2 - 70s rock

now-80s and beyond

the 500 gats of bartholomew thuggins (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 9 January 2012 17:56 (fourteen years ago)

So I'm guessing Geir would only stan for the original Genesis?

93, the realness

lag∞n, Monday, 9 January 2012 17:58 (fourteen years ago)

is it 2 real 4 u

lag∞n, Monday, 9 January 2012 17:59 (fourteen years ago)

not voting in this

The Silent Extreme (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 9 January 2012 18:04 (fourteen years ago)

Well that does go well with my recent thought that Mario is like the Beatles of video games.

MarkoP, Monday, 9 January 2012 18:06 (fourteen years ago)

Hip-hop was probably the last great new American art form, right?

if you mean "most recent" by "last" yeah - if you mean "final" then that's a completely dumb way of thinking unless you think we're about to get hit by a meteor or something

ur forgetting the technos

lag∞n, Monday, 9 January 2012 18:12 (fourteen years ago)

also rage comics of course

lag∞n, Monday, 9 January 2012 18:13 (fourteen years ago)

lol @ all of you talking about these types of music as the most recent American art form during the year that mainstream America was introduced to Tebowing

Bam! Orgasm explosion in your facehole. (DJP), Monday, 9 January 2012 18:13 (fourteen years ago)

2011 was really fucking good for hiphop. Not joking.

billstevejim, Monday, 9 January 2012 18:14 (fourteen years ago)

djp can you explain why i keep seeing tim tebows name, preferably in a haiku. wiki just tells me he is good at american football, also something to do with eye paint. not exactly supermario-ing it.

Our Lord Tim Tebow

But God wins him games

Scoring a touchdown
Taking a knee, head on hand
Fervent, self-absorbed praise

Bam! Orgasm explosion in your facehole. (DJP), Monday, 9 January 2012 19:31 (fourteen years ago)

Its 3rd and 18
Studied Bibles, not spirals
The Lord will provide

This poll really might as well be "how old are you" now that I think about it

Thug Luftwaffle (forksclovetofu), Monday, 9 January 2012 20:14 (fourteen years ago)

my favorite stuff is for the most part BETWEEN '88 and '93

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_in_hip_hop_music

Rapper Jamal "Shyne" Barrow was released from prison after serving almost nine years for his role in a violent nightclub shooting in 1999 involving Bad Boy mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs and his ex-girlfriend, Jennifer Lopez. He was deported to Belize the next day.

Thug Luftwaffle (forksclovetofu), Monday, 9 January 2012 21:02 (fourteen years ago)

being deported to Belize sounds kinda sweet

somebody call the brinks truck (D-40), Monday, 9 January 2012 21:09 (fourteen years ago)

lol, i will rep for exactly half that list.

Thug Luftwaffle (forksclovetofu), Monday, 9 January 2012 21:13 (fourteen years ago)

probably the weaker half too **rolls eyes**

somebody call the brinks truck (D-40), Monday, 9 January 2012 21:14 (fourteen years ago)

also "88 - time to set it straight" was a great saying

the 500 gats of bartholomew thuggins (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 9 January 2012 21:14 (fourteen years ago)

boosie, max b, jacka, gucci were all at creative peaks in 2009 b/t 'return of boosie bad azz' 'quarantine' 'tear gas' & burrprint etc.

no joke deej: u r a treasure

Thug Luftwaffle (forksclovetofu), Monday, 9 January 2012 21:16 (fourteen years ago)

ok but you understand that being able to count the good-to-great things on yr toes makes it a bad year, right?

unattractive on the g side (a hoy hoy), Monday, 9 January 2012 21:32 (fourteen years ago)

err I don't think laundry lists of # of good/great albums is how you determine how great a year was, cuz considering how much rap gets released a year, one will find scores of 'good' stuff every year.

Neanderthal, Monday, 9 January 2012 21:34 (fourteen years ago)

deej40: was that Playaz Circle release any good?

Neanderthal, Monday, 9 January 2012 21:34 (fourteen years ago)

tbh i dont remember i was thinking it was the one before that but that wouldn't have made sense
