So yesterday and today at work one of my co-workers (An awesome dude, reminds me of Master Shake meets Conan O’Brien but not a ginger or….um…a cup) and I have been discussing the state of music and something hit me. People always sit back and talk about how repetitive music is NOW and to an extent they are right but…music was hella repetitive back in the day. The song in particular we were talking about was La Trimm’s “Cars That Go Boom”:
Now I know we all loved this song but…tell me that in retrospect this song isn’t the most annoying thing you have ever heard? Yes the nostalgia factor gets you through it but damn it this song makes MIMS sound like Rakim. Were our standards lower then or are they higher now? I think they are higher now, which is why a lot of us pine for bringing back that old New York rap. Like MC Lyte’s “Georgie Porgie”:
Now THAT is real hip hop. Well, I am out for now. Repeats tomorrow. Sorry about that, but I will have new stuff on Friday and a huge weekend full of updates! Stay up, peeps.
