Today's HipHop

My 2nd son said, "Hey Dad - If you wanna know what the kids are listening to these days..."



First, if you're of a certain age, try not to think about Annie Hall right now.  And then you can stop wondering about shit like "history repeats itself" or " everything runs in cycles" or "the more things change, the more they stay the same" blah blah blah.  People say shit like that because for good or ill, there's some truth to it.

When Culture and Economy are all tied up together; and when both are driven by fad and fashion; and when things can change so quickly - I guess we have to expect a certain wastage left behind as we lurch along the timeline.

Is it the latest iteration of RetroChic, and do we call it Gleaning?  Or what?
