both the fans and the artists scan way more mainstream and way more middle class than they used to
marcos - i don't think it's generational, there are always ppl who liked rap and like country or vice versa, but it's just more mainstream now than it was (country)
also it's ludicrous to say that the racial component in rap criticism and the class component in country criticism are even remotely comparable
american can only work out its racial tensions through talking about sports or rap basically
xxxxp i bet they ate fuckin tortellini stuffed with the finest cheeses in their breakfast bowls at brunch the next day, too

charl1e w3is, while signed to a multimillion dollar football coaching contract at ND, would eat mcdonald's with his son at the dinner table while the rest of the family ate a more traditional home cooked meal.

Jimmy John is an incredible name btw
tbf i do kind of think there is a generational thing going on. i grew up in a white midwestern upper class suburb, all the white kids i knew growing up were HUGE into hip hop. they loved classic gangsta rap and were really into the late 90s early 00s pop rap like diddy and ja rule. they are all republicans now, like their parents, and they are lawyers and bankers and shit but they still love rap and hate country.

i know OLD country music has always been pretty popular in Germany, but i don't know about new country pop stuff. they've always been big fans of rockabilly/hillbilly/square dance/50's american stuff there. but that's probably older people too. i doubt young german people give a shit about any of that.

This is so sad, and if you live and work anywhere outside of some sheltered hipster ghetto, you've probably been exposed to it.
Which is why we should remember when we make our little playlists or our blog posts or whatever, that music these days is something we take to work, the boundaries between work and home life or private life are not as clear as they were when we were kids.
I make a point of working and living in diverse and socially conscious environments, as such, I have to think about what music I am going to take to the office, or what I will play around my neighbors.
It is really important to me that I not send the message that I don't care about someone's community and culture and history. Which is why I'm careful about what hip-hop and r & b I invest my dollars and time into.I'm not going to listen to any old thing "because it's rap."

C/Ping for RT:
Writer Kris Ex told me he believes diminished record sales and hip-hop's changing financial model require many rappers to rely heavily on corporate endorsements, providing a disincentive to rock the boat.
