RE: POP MUSIC HAIKU: GUCCI GANG (Lil Pump)
What strikes me is that those old rappers were often expressing their own culture and experience while this new stuff is clearly manufactured. It smells like cultural manipulation to me.
yes, yes, yes, smells very manufactured. lots of people being manipulated to their own demise it feels. perhaps the musics isn't meant to express actual culture or experience. maybe it's only meant to express an emerging aspirational culture....essentially create a fantasy land of escapism for people caught in The Trap?? I don't know, perhaps it is art at it's finest, Duchamp's fountain (in modern HipHop form) to get people analyzing the vacuousness american culture creation. Dammit, I've been played!!
Hah. Now I feel like I should go listen to it. I don't think you're a good influence on me.
Oh for Christ's sake, don't do it! Create more of your music to share, don't give any extra clicks to this crapola :)
