I was on the Nah Right blog and I was reading a post about the "media" calling Kidz In The Hall, "Hipster Rap". I don't in any way shape or form would categorize these dudes as "hipster rap". They've been around since 2006 (you slept on their album "School Was My Hustle" when I told you to get that shit) and are currently signed with Duck Down....you know home of the Original Gun Clapperz: BlackMoon, Smif N Wessun, Heltah Skeltah etc to all you "black hipsters" (peace to Mosi). If you wanna call that "hipster rap" then you're smokin crack!!!!
Here is what Double-O has to say about it (courtesy of whateversgood.com):
How do you feel about the term hipster rap? Do you feel it applies to you?
Double-O: No. Because the definition of a hipster is a, well, I don’t know what the original Wikipedia definition was when they used it back in the ’50s, but now it’s become a very pretentious title. It defines somebody who may or may not really be attached to the art form, but they just like it because it’s kind of ahead of the curve or it’s cool. So, I think that all it is is another definition, trying to define a sub-genre of music that they just haven’t figured out how to define yet. That, really, to me, that’s the buzz on music going around right now. I don’t call it hipster rap, there’s a lot of different types of stuff going on, it’d not just hipsters that like it. It just so happens that the bloggers and some of the more forward-thinking people are up on it.
