From the announcements board:QuoteUK Soul Jam captures the energy and musical talent from London'sContemporary Soul Scene. Bringing together Singers, Players, moversand shakers or just connoisseurs of Neo Soul, Nu Jazz, Credible Hip Hop and RnB, Brokenbeat, Bashment, Gospel and Soulful House scenes in London.UnquotePls to explain...What is Credible Hip Hop?Does it imply that the rest is Incredible?I think that's what I'd want to hear, were I riding for the genre.

    East Coast hip-hop from 88-95 without too much cursing (Kool G Rap excluded).

    East Coast Hip-Hop before Run DMC...

    is there a schism in the Credible Hip Hop camp here....?

    And does cursing and other inflammatory tactics on records make them non-credible?
    And who decided what's credible? The 'market'? The cognoscenti?

    I may have to revisit my whole record collection to check if my tastes are credible or not
    maybe cross-reference them against the Hipster Approved list

    So they're finally saying what they've been thinking when saying "underground" hip-hop all of these years...at least it's honest, in this way:

    I know better than all of you ______ .

    Because of course that is what's most important here.

    That you know enough about someone's culture to JUSTIFY your hate for it.

    Justified hip-hop, that's just as good.

    Privileged Hop...but that kinda starts merging with Scion Hop...ah, might as well.

    What I personally refer to it as nowadays is: Old Hat Hip-Hop for Dorks I'd Rather Not Be Around.
