The Search For The Biggest Douchebag In Hipster Rap
God I needed this. The funny thing is I definitely posted like all these videos, but after its put this way it makes you think.
Who’s to blame for this unfortunate development? NERD made looking gay and yelling “ironic” lyrics hot for a minute, while Missy Elliott made shitty rapping over 808’s all the rage, before Kanye ‘Liberache’ West made fruity sunglasses blow-up…combine them together and you’ve got “Party Rocking”. Let’s take A-Trak’s description of The Cool Kids when I interviewed him last year:
“Their music sounds like the first Beastie Boys album or old Ice-T from the era of ‘6 N The Morning’, or old NWA. The dudes are, image-wise, all the way street-wear’d out, like on some Hypebeast shit. It’s the bridge between those scenes, but it all sounds effortless.”
Sounds bad, right? But it doesn’t stop there. Lil Mama, MIA, Kid Sister are but three of this new wave of “ironic” rappers who seem hell-bent on achieving new levels of sucking at rapping. Lupe Fiasco and Kidz In The Hall might not get around in Day-Glo smedium tee’s but they still have a gimmicky, calculated vibe to everything they do.

TELESCOPE LINKS LONDON TO NYC
Sooo tight
The installation's creator Paul St George claims to have just completed a forgotten tunnel connecting New York to London and, using giant parabolic mirrors, has reconstructed a Victorian-era optical device enabling people on either end of the tube to wave at each other. It installed the webcams and broadband internet sending live video in both directions. You can also at the Tower Bridge in London see a same electroscope.
