The other day I got back into listening to old school hip hop on internet radio. Anyway I’m reminded why I don’t like them or how they sound, it’s more annoying than anything else. It’s like rap for white people. Compared to standup acts like Public Enemy, Eazy E, KRS One or Digital Underground.
I get that, it’s a me problem then I suppose.
I mean I get what you’re saying. Their first album especially is very joke-y and frat-y. Like there’s no doubt listening to it that this is rap music made by a bunch of white boys. But there’s a lot of manufactured white people rap out there and the beasties seem genuine. And as I say nearly all of their contemporaries give them respect which I think is big.
