ehhh ross getting a title from a jay line from 5 years ago blunts the novelty value a bit, to say nothing of the "HYFR" video

deej is passive aggressively humblebragging about caramanica mentioning so many shrimp in a NYT article from today about chicago rap controversy
― lil dirk (J0rdan S.), Friday, 5 October 2012 02:12 (thirteen years ago)
actually not entirely convinced that despite the mention it wasnt a lil backhanded in that his thesis is kinda 'this is happening because people are writing about it happening'
― The rain in Spin circles mainly on the mansplain (D-40), Friday, 5 October 2012 02:14 (thirteen years ago)
like, as much as its a big deal to be mentioned i'm kinda unsure i completely agree w/ its framing
Link?

the passage in question doesn't even make sense to me -- rap coverage on the internet "has increasingly focused attention on the grittiest corners"? no fucking way
― some dude, Friday, 5 October 2012 02:44 (thirteen years ago)
tbf, it probably has where jon reads

i guess i dont really get at what point i crossed a line where I'm a part of the story
― The rain in Spin circles mainly on the mansplain (D-40), Friday, 5 October 2012 14:10 (thirteen years ago)
instead of someone bringing new information to light
i told the story, i didn't create it
― The rain in Spin circles mainly on the mansplain (D-40), Friday, 5 October 2012 14:12 (thirteen years ago)
it's a pretty passing mention of so many shrimp, though LOL at the idea that blogging about youtube videos is akin to alan lomax field recordings...i mean, you seem to question the ways that various rap acts or songs are covered in the media, it didn't seem unfair to me.
the only bullshit would be that lomax kind of comes with an insinuation of exploitation, though i just finished a really good history of the blues book that calls into question who was playing who
― farte blanche (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 5 October 2012 15:45 (thirteen years ago)
yeah 'lomax' being used or interpreted as a simple shorthand for exploitation is pretty problematic. i'm not so sure caramanica even meant it that way at all.
― some dude, Friday, 5 October 2012 15:49 (thirteen years ago)
this is the book i just finished:http://www.amazon.com/The-History-Blues-Francis-Davis/dp/0786860529
it's pretty interesting...he's harder on john hammond sr. than lomax....though it's interesting, his case is that the old blues guys were way more entertainers that played everything from delta blues to tin pan alley songs or whatever people liked, but they sensed what lomax wanted to hear and sort of tailored their stuff to fit his idea of "pure primitive" blues
like, for instance, who's this tortured, bedeviled soul named robert johnson doing this peppy little ragtime number?

dude, he mentions you in passing as someone who is covering the scene, relax with the "I told the story, i didn't create it" stuff

nah i appreciated being mentioned i just get cautious abt being seen as a 'booster' i guess; i am in the sense that i'd like to see it succeed, but i feel like ive been careful not to misdescribe it or w/e
― The rain in Spin circles mainly on the mansplain (D-40), Friday, 5 October 2012 18:59 (thirteen years ago)
well if you're saying you're a booster of the art that comes out of a scene, not of the violence or the uglier shit that comes out of the scene, I'm more sympathetic to that line of thinking and can see where you wouldn't want to get painted as A DARK CHRONICLE OF GHETTO LIFE or whatever but I didn't really see that implied... i guess you could read it that way?
I dropped this in the "forks videos" thread but in light of Matt dropping his back in the day faves here's one that i just rediscoveredhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNsyJiF1b_4WHAT'S UP WHAT'S UP WHAT'S UP WITH THE BANKHEAD BOUNCE SHAWTY
