Is like being in a doo-wop band in the 60s.Get with the program fellas!Who is the Godfather of white open mic emcees anyway? Do all their rhymes have to include the word "holocaust"? I think that's a bite.

Whatup S? So the show was a stunna last night?

Well, no comment. Seems like these acts all exist in their own parallel universes and should get out there, watch, learn, and pay dues before they claim to be the next Ben E King & The Drifters.

I'm not sure if this is the best analogy, since it presupposes that there was a time when the sh!t wasn't corny.



Overheard at a record store this afternoon [from some 50+ burnout wearing a tanktop]: "Last time I was in here you were playing the most amazing hip-hop act. I think they were from San Francisco and they had a live band and there were jokes between the songs. Matter of fact, I think they were white! Who were those guys? I gotta get that."

Well, that's debateable. Heavy Rhyme Experience, The Goats, The Roots, hell all the old school groups used to play/record with bands (Sugar Hill, etc.) I mean, Keith LeBlanc was killing all that stuff...
