I was accused recently of not being hip becuase I don't listen to "black people music." I've lived in a texa-fied suburbian bubble now for seven years and the last "black people music" I remember listening to is Biggie Smalls and Tupac. And those assholes are both dead now. I was told that Eminem, the Beastie Boys and the Dirty Heads don't count so now I'm feeling particularly uncultured. I grew up in Houston's 1st Ward ghetto, for crissakes! I'm a disgrace to my poverty-stricken people. For shame. All I know about Jay-Z is that he's married to Beyonce.... Usher is a cutie-pie.... James Brown is dead.... Michael Jackson was badass when he was black, but turned white and he's dead now, too.... and Snoop Doggie Daaawg is promoting Justin Bieber. Justin Bieber ain't black! Also, whatever happened to Kid 'n Play?
Anyway, my point here is that I'm on a mission to get cultured. Leave me a comment and let me know WTF I should be listening to and why.
Biggie, Biggie, Biggie can't you see, somehow your words just hypnotize me.... and I just love your flashy ways... I guess that's why they're broke and you're so paid....
Momma wants to get paid!
