Diplo x Gucci Mane Push Hipster Rap 2 Nu Levels of Irony
Posted on December 10, 2009 by Martín Caballero - Filed Under Hipster Rap | Leave a Comment
Because teaming up with a real MC would be soooooo not ironic.
Legendary Philadelphia DJ Diplo has announced that he will remix Gucci Mane’s acclaimed Cold War mixtape series. The Grammy nominated producer and songwriter (M.I.A’s “Paper Planes,” 2008) signed on for the project to support the Decemburrrr 8th release of Gucci Mane’s The State Vs. [...]

The Most In-Depth 88-Keys Interview Ever
Posted on September 26, 2009 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Hip Hop, Hipster Rap, Interviews | 1 Comment
Here we have the marriage of two relatively recent developments that excite me – Hearty magazine and 88-Keys. The former is one of the Web’s rare well-executed mag sites, and the latter – I suspect – is the real genius behind Kanye West (I suspect he was too busy to help with the last album). [...]
Fresh Video From Fresh Daily

As I already explained in my review of Fresh Daily’s album (which I gave a perfect score), dude is one of my favorite MCs on the rampage right now. I could go on and on, but what’s important right now is that you peep this video (above). The track was produced by Ski (yes – [...]

Yak Ballz to Drop EP on Def Jux (plus brief recap of Yak and Cage at Harpers Ferry)
Posted on August 3, 2009 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Hip Hop, Hipster Rap | 30 Comments
I was a bit nervous heading backstage at the Cage show (at Harpers Ferry) this past Friday; earlier in the evening Mr. Palko had assaulted the host, Ricky Mortis, for ripping on audience members. In particular, Cage was pissed that Ricky (of Leedz Edutainment and Karmaloop notoriety) dissed a kid for wearing a Morrissey t-shirt [...]
Why It’s Time You Shut The Fuck Up About Asher Roth
Posted on July 8, 2009 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Hip Hop, Hipster Rap, Rap Beef | 3 Comments
Stop dissing Asher Roth, because you were probably a tool in college too. Even if you threw hella ragers, had spicy frosh groveling for dirty sex, and whipped a Saab convertible, you likely thought you were much sweeter than you really were. Contrary to those glorified memories, you were nothing like Van Wilder or Elle [...]

Review: Busdriver’s “Jhelli Beam”
Posted on June 3, 2009 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Hip Hop, Hipster Rap | Leave a Comment
For a guy whose layered rhymes are less accessible than Hilary Duff’s muff, Busdriver designs relatively people-friendly hip-hop. Some of the Los Angeles outcast’s backdrops sound as if they’d fallen off the El-P tree, but as executive maestro (beats were mostly handled by Daedelus and Nobody) he cobbles awkward glitches into tapestries on which he [...]
Review, Pics, and Video from Amanda Blank and Santigold in Boston
Posted on June 2, 2009 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Hipster Rap | 3 Comments
No doubt I once bought a Honda Passport because Biggie mentioned one on “Player’s Anthem.” Still, it burns me how quick young people are to co-opt their favorite artist’s style all the way from kicks to shades. For Santigold, college students must have looted every thrift shop in Massachusetts for ironic hats and neon throwbacks; [...]
