Guilty Pleasures, We're All Hipsters

Whether you are a hip hop head, love rock n roll or fancy a bit of duff duff in it's various form you always a problem.

Any conversation you have with a fellow music lover is a competition. You're more underground than them. You know the latest song from this guy or that band. Do they? You hope not so you can get one up over them.

It's always the way and probably always will be the way. 

I love hip hop. So I experience this on the regular. You've been a Kendrick Lamar fan since Cartoons and Cereal. You liked Kanye West before he sold out or got weird. You only fuck with Jay-Z from the 90's. It's endless.

I know a fair bit about Madlib. Know enough about MF DOOM to hold down a convo. Have you even heard of Percee P!? I mean if you really liked Eminem you would know all about his first album 'Infinite'. Have you heard 'Players Ball' from Outkast? Do you get a tingle in your balls every time you hear "Wu Tang Clan ain't nothing to fuck with" even though you were like 2 years old when it came out? Do you know that there's a whole lot of young dudes coming through the grades who will change hip hop?

And here I am thoroughly enjoying some Wiz Khalifa. My iPod features A$AP, The Game, 50 Cent, Mac Miller, TI, Odd Future, Snoop Dogg, Charles Hamilton, Drake, Beanie Sigel, Dipset, The Clipse, J Cole and some kiwi lads who go by the name of Rugged who are gifted lyrical professors - "man I want bitches, bitches that wanna fuck bitches"

Fuck it. Who care's if you love rappers who can't rap for shit. Who care's if you're a bit embarrassed but try to cover it up by dropping knowledge.

Whoever is the creator, music is made to be enjoyed. Whether you enjoy it because it takes you to New York in 94', whether you enjoy it cos you can party to it or whether you enjoy it cos it just makes you get up out your seat and forget about shit and do a little white boy jig. 

Which is exactly what Wiz Khalifa made me do. And I couldn't care less.
