in response to the recent post on societyandstyle.blogspot.com about hipster rap...I offer this, hilarious video! Featuring Nick...in the"red pants" haha!
Now...I have been having this debate about HIPSTERS with my friends for a looonnggg time...especially N.E.S.H.A about cuz she rolls deep with dudes who dress like peter pan (insider lol) once I noticed the types of parties they were going to and the music they were downloading (shout out to Mickey Factz)...i wondered..are my friends undercover HIPSTERS? I HATED hipsters..hypebeasters..and posers....just cuz it was annoying..and majority of them were rummaging through the wrong part of the thrift shop for clothes..I mean these are kids form the neighborhood who recently made this transformation into "coolness" by "surrounding themselves with "uncoolness" and wearing STUPID clothes...but then again aren't people allowed to change? When hating on the hipsters singled me out of most of the weekend social activites, and meeting nice people..i stopped..cuz lets face it, hating on them became trendy anyway when DIE HIPSTER shirts went on sale at urban and HIPSTER SCUM stickers appeared in subway stations on the L line... I was rolling in the crowd by association..it still baffles me, so I dont think about it much... some of the music is cool...some sucks..but to sum it up my definition of "hipster rap" which YES exists is underground hip hop which caters to a specific crowd of antimatter :) although there is some mainstream hip hop catering to the same crowd..the hipsters mimic mainstream coolness...break it down..spin it around turn it inside out and "own" it :)

lol. i dont think u got the definition quite right but its an interesting view point. i dont know if i think that hipster rap exists because like jay smooth said in his video if you really listen to the music of these "hipster rapperS" they are all really different. They might have a similar style of dress (which i like so WHAT!!) but in terms of music its all different stuff.
but yea, no one knows who the hipsters are cuz no one claims it. its funny.
there was an article about it in XXL-- good read if you really interested in the idea.

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THISSSS!!!... For one shouts out to MAZZI... I'll be interviewing him for real next week... But honestly I feel like Hipster music is blogger music. This group of rappers are composed of all the kids... or even grown men in some cases that live out their dreams via the internet. When you can reach billions of people, there's bound to be a couple thousand that like you. And maybe if I lived on farm in the middle of no where... i would think its cool... but it's way too contrived. The problem with all music now is that it lacks one important ingredient... SOULLLLLLLL!!!... People should stay true to self in whatever they do... Even in fashion.. brands get wack once they try in emulate other brands...same with music and anything else...
but u had me DYING of laughter w. this post!! lol
