Thanks for sending this; there's actually an entire genre of "herdcore" hip-hop along similar lines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8VTmy5clHk As someone who used to live very close to the Boogie Down[*], I think it's an interesting subcultural thing, though it strays awfully close to appropriation in some cases (yeah Monzy, odds are really good you'll make it through the Stanford PhD program without getting shot. There's not a lot of physical violence in the "Computer Science Game"). - Dan C. [*] "The Boogie Down" is hip-hop slang for the New York City borough of the Bronx and is generally credited as the place where rap/hip-hop was born in the early-1970s. Google did a doodle for this earlier this year: https://www.google.com/doodles/44th-anniversary-of-the-birth-of-hip-hop, narrated by the one and only Fab 5 Freddy. I'm a Manhattanite, but used to live a couple of blocks from the 155th St overpass that leads down to the Macombs Dam Bridge that features in the beginning of the seminal Eric B & Rakim video for "I Ain't No Joke": uptown represent. They who think wrong are they who can't do that style that I'm doing. (The video actually shows the section of 155th St under the overpass, which gets confusing because the road on the overpass is also 155th St. Explaining that to cab drivers used to be fun. It's amusing, I used to park my car in the parking lot off-camera to the right of that shot.) On Tue, Nov 7, 2017 at 10:25 AM, Clem Cole <clemc(a)ccc.com> wrote:
