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"

You keep on and on and on and on/Like hot butter on say what, the popcorn

You say
One for the trouble
Two for the time
Come on, y'all, let's rock the -

[whistle]

Yes, yes, y'all
A-freak, freak, y'all
A-funky beats, y'all
Then you rock and roll
Then you roll and rock
And then you rockin to the beat that just don't want you to stop
Cause I'm the S to the p double-o n y
The one MC who you can't deny
'Cause I'm the baby-maker, I'm the woman-taker
I'm the cold-crushin' lover, the heartbreaker
So come on, fly girls, and please don't stop
Cause I'm MC Spoonie Gee, wanna hit the top
And young ladies, rock on

And this is (1) from 1979 and (2) my favorite single ever (not just favorite my favorite hip-hop single). (He couldn't make up his mind how to spell his name, and neither could the label, which called him "Spoonin' Gee.")

(Btw, I have nothing in principle against someone saying why he doesn't like some new form in comparison to some old form, but he's got to be aware enough to know when the reasons he's giving are ignorant and imbecilic, e.g. needs to be aware that the thing he's giving as an example of the degradation of the genre is actually something that's been embedded in the genre from the get-go.)
