Everyone pictured needs to bring back their white tees and the rap styles that they wore with them.

Stay Hatin is back again! Live from Serg’s kitchen table! This week we had Noz on again because with the last episode we mostly played old raps and we had all been stock piling some new raps so we figured fuck it lets bring dude back and discuss new raps. In this episode we discuss songs we don’t even play, Juggalos & Hipster spectrum, Bricksquad Swimteam, and Are all problems troubles? We discuss issues that are very crucial to the current state of rap music for almost two hours so you know this is total worth listening too
Listen to us as we listen to rap.
OJ Da Juiceman - “Swag Like Me” (So Icy, 2008)
I was going to answer more questions tonight but some of y’all are bringing real anger and antagonism to my ask box. So I’m going to play this a thousand times instead.

Anonymous asked: how is "thrift shop" not continuing this "plague" of "overpriced middlebrow brand oriented fashion fetishism" when it's a song bragging about how fun it is going to places usually designed for poor ppl with minimal funds that NEED clothes and picking out cool-lookin novelty discounted hipster wear that's still probably at the most half off discounted from what they would pay at american apparel or where ever? how is it not trying to sell a certain image-based aesthetic to the lowest common denom
Because the song takes an explicit stance against overpriced brands. If your complaint is that this plague has now been replaced with one of “low priced lowbrow brand-free fashion fetishism” then okay. But that still sounds like a step in the right direction to me.
Also I think you have fundamentally misunderstood the function of thrift shops. They aren’t “designed for poor people” to shop at. Not principally at least. They’re charitable organizations. They generate revenue from reselling donated goods and channel that back into things like shelters and job training programs. The more money that comes through the doors the better. (Theoretically at least. I’m well aware that CORPORATE THRIFT MALFEASANCE is a very real thing but I hardly think Macklemore is to blame for that. Nor do I care to investigate this on my rap blog.)
Grandmaster Caz - “Rappers Delight” (Live, 1979)
As most who would ever care already know by now, Sugar Hill Gang rapper Big Bank Hank swiped the raps for their - and hip hop’s - breakout hit from the rhyme books of more established street star and Cold Crush Brother Grandmaster Caz. Here is Caz performing his original “Delight” verses over the same Chic bassline at a Bronx block party shortly after the Sugar Hill version crossed over to “princesses in Europe and Africans in Africa and Chinese in China.”
“I wear a lot glittery cheap rings on my fingers,” she tells Kurt, “And people will say, ‘Well, why do you do that?’ And I will say that I’m trying to pay tribute to Lil’ Kim” — the rapper — “because I feel Lil’ Kim is in danger of being forgotten.”

Rocko f/ Future & Rick Ross - “U.O.E.N.O.” (Mixtape, 2013)
Sometimes you’ll hear a rapper say THIS SHIT SOUND CRAZY at the beginning of a rap song only to completely let you down when the song proves to sound perfectly sane. This is not one of those occasions.
Rocko’s Gift Of Gab 2 is out now.

Anonymous asked: Any advice on protecting your ears at shows etc? Are their better or worse earplugs?
I usually just wear the foam kind that you can get at CVS but I’ve been meaning to upgrade to some custom etymotic joints because sometimes I worry that the foam ones aren’t totally working.
I know wearing plugs to shows sounds fucking stupid now if you are a young person because everything you ever hear as a young person sounds fucking stupid like the way those wamp wamp wamp parents sound on Peanuts but I have lightweight but lifelong tinnitus because I didn’t wear earplugs when I was a young person and that shit is not cool at all. So consider yourself warned.
