Swipe: Pitchfork – Grind to Get It – Rap’s Recession
I didn’t agree with everything, but an overall great read and thoughtful insight.
Cliff’s Notes:
In the end, hip-hop is recalibrating, from a pop sensation back into an underground movement. People are making music for specialized, dedicated audiences, knowing that these audiences probably won’t make them rich. Sometimes they’re holding down day jobs or figuring out alternate ways of making money. Touring is important. And listeners have to go deeper than the most obvious stuff, digging through various localized underground scenes to find the worthwhile stuff. Sound familiar? From certain angles, rap’s current moment doesn’t look too different from, say, indie rock circa 1985. That’s a good place to be.

Rap’s Recession

HNITH – Best Rap Albums of the Decade
I was reading ESPN Rise Magazine (local high school mag that alerts you of all American potentials in your area) and they were ranking the best high school athletes of the past decade. Lebron was numero Uno of course, but it dawned on me, the millennial decade (2000-2009) is over. It’s crazy because I can still remember people selling $2 glasses with the 2 zeros as the eye-whole and another zero on the left. Now a 1 will replace the second zero for the next 10 years.
