the pioneering mumble rap tune.
gleefully post-human and superficial. chorus like a jingle
Yeah, but i could also market it as a 'digital emo' tune.
That does take much of the post-human and futurist rhetoric away doesn't it? would really like crowl to chip in and explain how rap supplanted rock in the states. truth be told I'm insulated here we're still implacable enemies, the rock music fans live in a mythological world to me. i don't mean like, fuckin ash ra tempel or henry cow boffin rock but like my chemical romance and bullet for my arsecrack.
That's why i am into chief keef because it's a deconstruction of that alt rock orientation, I'm sure I'm bolloxing it all up though.
It's weird, rock sensibilities being integrated into rap music should really have my intellectual Paul Gilroy-black-atlantic juices firing like mad. ultimate reclamation of a once proudly black genre through globalised diaspora.
Yet years upon years of encountering white rock fans has given me a visceral disgust for most of the mainstream rock cannon. otherwise I'm still interested in iranian fuzz or slammin nuggets from Benin and Togo. and as everyone knows I like heavy, dark shit. Why is that? I have no idea.
I was gonna say lollipop is a 'digital alt rock tune' but digital emo just seems to be more catchy.
Maybe the battle we have to fight is between digital emoism and digital hardcorism.
