You can't bust a rhyme like this, come on give up don't try to resist
Earlier today I discovered that there was a genre called Hick-Hop. As soon as I stopped laughing at the name I decided to investigage. Apparently, as you might guess from the name, it's hip-hop played by rednecks. It's also known as Hillbilly Rap and a few other things. Brilliant. It's the kind of thing that Nikhil (sonic undermind guitarist) would be into. It's an amazingly varied genre (at least so far). First things I found were on this article. Delivery and the Kuntry Killers, which is pretty standard bad hip hop and Dirk Powell and DanjaMowf which is bizarre mellow instrumental country with vaguely Hip-Hop beats under it.
The funniest thing I've found so far is Cowboy Troy, who is (apparently) a "250lb black rapper from Dallas Texas". I suggest everyone who is interested downloads Tae Kwon Flow from Amazon.com link. If only for the hillarious moment in the chorus when you first hear him say that they call him "Hickules". It's so beautifully naive and old school. It's not good though, don't think that for a moment. It is another great song to listen to my collection of "hey, listen to this..." mp3s though. If you find that amusing you might want to check out Bus Driver. It's purely worth it for rhymes like "I love food that's Mexican, I eat it so much I'm a Texican, I love wrasslin' and motorsports and women that's wearin' them way-too-shorts".
Hick-Hop, what a great concept. It's made my day!
4 blog entries in a day! I'm going to be in the middle of nowhere next week, 2 miles from the nearest pub! So don't expect any posts from me. Maybe I'll update on this weekend's activities on Sunday before I go though. Texican 'till I die.
