im all for music elitism and the principle of good taste and establishing 'standards' in creative artsDauntless wrote:
sorry yeah, only stop being a little whiteboy elitist over black hip-hop music. the rest is fine.
applying paradigms to me as a listener over music and culture that is totally irrelevant and incongruous is something that i dont find agreeable
the fan-stereotypes and hip-hop culture associations of the hip-hop that i choose to listen to is completely unimportant. im white, middle-class and completely detached from the hip-hop 'scene' and arena of criticism. i like what i like in hip-hop for very subjective reasons that are probably more informed by other music influences and crossovers, more than anything else. so yeah, my point stands: stop being a whiteboy elitist over a genre of music that i am completely uninterested in, anyway. my approach to 'serious' hip-hop criticism is probably best summed up as apathetic. it's not my interest and far from my forte. get it now ive elucidated a little? good. stop trying to be witty and smart and go back to listening to culturally bankrupting shite.
