Hip Hop, Is It Still Good?
I really can’t answer this question. I’m not exposed to much hip hop these days. I still claim A Tribe Called Quest as my favorite artist. Back in college, a lot of people around me listened to hip hop on a regular basis. Post college, I was exposed to some hip hop here and there from the electronic music crowd. Out here in Oregon, I think there is some in the local clubs, but I’ve pretty much given up on the music scene. Anyway, one day on Pandora I selected a station called Backpackers Beware. I thought it was related to backpacking. I couldn’t have been more wrong. I’m really loving the mix. I’m not surprised that one of the seed songs is the immpecable “Electric Relaxation” by A Tribe Called Quest. My only problem is I can’t tell what is new from old. I recognize a few of the artists and tunes. However, I probably only recognize 60 percent of the songs. Its awesome to hear good hip hop once again. I’m thankful that Current TV took the time to create this station. Now I just have to checkout their other stations on Pandora and their cable broadcasting.
