My hatas blue in the face like Gonzo

Bone to pick with this dude for quite some time but haven't said anything: YOU DON'T GET TO DECIDE WHAT THE KIDS THINK IS COOL. If they wanna get down to ninnies, as Simon Reynolds calls 'em, then that means that NINNIES ARE COOL. I'm perfectly OK with this.

And it is with this qualifying rant that I link to:

V.I.C. - "Wobble"

This brings us, inevitably, to the problem with hip-hop today. A genre whirled out of the grist of urban pain and worn as a low-slung hat and baggy jeans has somehow slipped on clown shoes and taken up night classes in pantomime.

Hang on, what happened to all the "hip hop was the music of street parties and liberation, it was all about positivity, then those nasty gangsters came and ruined it with their guns and drugs and bitches" arguments?

I don't know, these people are never happy!

(Doesn't surprise me tho, Salon is not really the spot for cutting-edge music reviews)

The elephant in the room, perhaps. But I do want to publicly assert somewhere that I think V.I.C. is cool.
