A Rapper With a Camera by Prometheus Brown (of Blue Scholars)

“It’s 2013 and photography and rap have reached a saturation point. Technology has not only democratized both mediums but also opened the floodgates to an audience. More people rap now than ever, and you can usually see them on a stage with more people carrying DSLRs than musical instruments.”

I happened to read this after my gf woefully sent me this link to this horrible interview with a horrible “girl” “rapper” (that’s pretty much a wannabe Kitty Pryde, which is kinda stupefying on its own) with a horrible rap name. Some morbid fascination kept me hate-watching for nearly the entire thing, but I almost lost it when I heard this exchange (around 7:43 in) re: the “fake it til you make it” approach:

Guy: “It’s like, I’m pretending to be a journalist, and then maybe one day I will, and all the people I interview are pretending to be rappers…”

Girl: “It’s kind of just like, a game of dress-up”

Kinda sums up every problem with what “Internet culture” has created that the City Arts article touches on. Wannabe bloggers interviewing wannabe rappers, neither giving a second thought about the quality of their work. Blogging about music because it’s what’s “hot right now.” Rapping because you’re “trying something new.” Even something like watching the movie Hausu because “all the guys from Animal Collective really liked it” (see 3:35). It’s blind, purposeless trend-following.

Pro Brown follows with this: “I’m not sure if it’s by coincidence or by design that this is happening on the cliff of a global economic meltdown.”

Interviewer Guy: “It’s just like, I NEED SOMETHING TO DO”

There’s nothing coincidental about it.

it’s unfortunate that the only copy of this video anywhere is on a watermarked rip that’s only got 1300 views. i loved those two turf talk albums :(
