What rappers they're into, they list MF Doom and that's it.

Oh, and sometimes Jay-Z.


Reasons?

Because they don't bother listening to anything else and they know those two artists are highly regarded?

Just guessing.

get no friends

"Indie Rockers" is just the politically correct term for "Listens to music for the scene cred"

NEW*

Because they know fuck all about rap, but are too "sensitive" to get REAL Gangsta. Also, Pitchfork likes both of these guys?

AND, somehow rapping about food is better than rapping about selling coke, and they like Jay-Z for the "irony" factor.

Pick up that T.I. album or Young Jeezy and fuck with their heads..

it all stems back to when MF Doom appeared on the first Stone Roses album.

And The Streets. And The Avalanches.

Silly, ignorant, fickle teens?

ask me.
i'm a self described indie rocker.

also Jay Z is awesome, so i support anyone listening to him.

this is the exact same category of people that only liked De La Soul (and sometimes Tribe Called Quest) 10 years ago.

i hear rumors that dip set are the new group to follow for hip white kids, but i have no proof of this.

side note: when i DJ, i giggle to myself every time someone asks, "do you have any Juelz?"

I would answer "none."

Now, if they're acting like they know something about hip-hop, and the only two artists they ever talk about are MF Doom and Jay-Z, that's one thing...

But if this is the only hip-hop they like then so the fuck what?

Are you going to go around chastizing hip-hop fans for only listening to 2 rock bands?

Who cares. People shouldn't be shamed into thinking they have to diversify their tastes.

I'm Mr. Sensitive.

But I like angry political dudes like Paris and old party dudes like Digital Underground more than crunk and bling. Just enjoy their kind of wordplay more.

oh, I do. I coulda taken some photos last week the 15 year old suburban posse crashed my night job decked out in pink and purple.

... It's true what they say: no one's ever there for you in the last garrison...

Let's all raise a glass to the Tribe.

i listened to "low end theory" yesterday.
what a perfect album.

Oh, okay, I admit to liking the Beasties, too. So there's one.

<---------------------- i pulled out the streets again yesterday--lovely. the new kayne west is tight and i've always liked tribe and del.

. . .mf doom doesn't really do much for me

i was going to say, i hear Kanye way more than MF Doom.
