Well, maybe i ain’t the only one not drinking the Spankrock punch.

One of my faves:

Not long after an artform or regional aesthetic is exploited into the mainstream, it typically peaks at some point in popularity, then slowly dies to be replaced by the next trend. but when pioneers are established, then you can have different schools of style and approach within an artform; that allows styles to evolve beyond the “pop culture” status.

Honestly, I ‘d never even heard Labtekwon rap until a prodigious freestyle he dropped at Street Sounds a few weeks ago. I’m still not feeling like a fan of Bmore Club, authentic or no, but I can’t front- duke rips it.
