frat rap

shamrock is cool but it is kinda weird how these white rappers seek out white rap bloggers

tbf there are more of us than there are of them, percentage-wise

wasnt malkelmaore tweeting at one of you

wtf is a hoodie allen and how is he playing a venue as big as the showbox market?

like, what hip-hop look is that supposed to be? To me it says "improv comic" or "kid who peeped on you in the bathroom stall at the hebrew school retreat"

improv comic = spot on

feel like there's a joke about headshots in this

...

"Hoodie Allen"

I mean

"Hoodie Allen" -- really?

every frat rapper has the exact same fake new york accent, they are all from the same place, fake new york

plainview, ny, apparently

haha at least a couple times since i've been writing a show calendar there's been some unfamiliar name headlining a good-sized venue and i look them up and i'm like oh duh, frat rapper. most recent one was Chris Webby.

i believe Hoodie Allen's look is called "Mark Ronson" btw

Yo, have you heard the new Hoodie Allen record? Shit is BANANAS.

Feel like it hasn't quite caught yet though. Bit of a sleeper.

this is the thread where i think all of you are just fucking with me

Chance the Rapper is working with Hoodie Allen, apparently. Poor kid.

what hoodie allen song are you talking about

oh boy i guess i have to know who this guy is huh

so credible folks seem to be legitimately liking that mac miller record. it was inevitably going to happen within the next year or so, but still

what the fuck is going on here

i don't know who that guy is but he has ronald mcdonald eyebrows

It's like a more accessible odd future album. With worse rapping

oof worse rapping than odd future

Post-Macklemore flow

feel like this cldve gone a lil deeper http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/21/arts/music/white-rappers-geazy-mike-stud.html

remember when we discovered the two dubsteps itt, revelatory

the last couple of times i've reacted with a visceral "what the fuck is this GARBAGE" to music on the radio were both to songs that ended up featuring g-eazy

(the grace one and the marc e. bassy one)

man i have missed all of this bullshit entirely.

i dunno whether to commend you for your foresight or hate you, d.

Story of my career

This stuff is extraordinarily easy to ignore, though. I get that these acts are taking a short cut to success, in a sense, but none seem to have cultural reach of black acts who do similar numbers. That's one thing their privilege can't buy them: relevance

(the article was spot on though; best exploration of the subject I've seen)

Story of my career

you're doing important ethnographic work here.

pun probably intended fuck it.

great piece

can't stop lol'ing at this photo tho

it's like something from the onion graphics department or one of those horrifying face swap apps

they lost me at "handsome ectomorph".

but for me this whole style reminds me as nothing so much as the various christian analogues of popular culture. the veggietales approach to hip-hop.

i need to catch up on Mac Miller real quick like.

started out frat rap, somehow worked his way into (quasi-?)credibility, critics about-faced on him at some point, now is putting out his "soul" album...does that sound about right? or no?

has he legit gone from joke/horror to decent?

He was never as terrible as people made him out to be. He did the whole "little brother discovers your Native Tongues CDs" thing well on Blue Slide Park

He sucks and he's always sucked and the marketing for him is "actually he's good this time" every time around

i don't know if i can listen to a mac miller album title "the divine feminine"

i can technically i guess but i never will

this one sounds like the death rattle of tasteful milquetoast kaytranadawave r&b

'watching movies w/ the sound off' is pretty neo soul influenced too but is good

it's funny that writers are buying the "it's a feminist album!" angle hook line and sinker when he put fuckin cee lo on it

lol

jeez

the marketing for him is "actually he's good this time" every time around

lol this is very true. But I found his old puppy dog on the playground stuff kind of likeable; it's his newer attempts to be an adult artist that are insufferable. He gets worse each year imo
