2537278, On the real... fuck hip-hop studies and academic shit
Posted by imcvspl, Wed Apr-13-11 08:01 AM
It ain't that I don't feel that studying hip-hop is important. I definitely do. But fuck all them motherfuckers. Straight up. And you know why? Because them motherfuckers NEVER talk about the music. NEVER. It's always the social context of this. And the political context of that. Fuck all of that shit. I always have but now I'm really starting to question if these motherfuckers actually like hip-hop. I suspect a lot of them don't. It's like anthropologists and some indigenous culutre. You don't give a fuck about them people and what they do. You just want to disect them down to your bullshit academic terms to validate yourself. And in the process end up exposing them to all these ideas that they never needed in the first place.

I'm so sick and tired of this shit. Talk about the music directly or shut the fuck up. Seriously, I don't think any genre of music has been discussed in academic books without talking about the actual music.... like ever. It's disgusting.
