New term maybe. I have just been to a couple record stores here in Chicago to sell some records. That whole economy thing may have had a lot to do with the small number of records that these folks were actually interested in. But check it, Aesop Rock, Company Flow, El-P (i know, kinda like in Co Flow, but his solo records), Madlib produced 12″’s….. these were the only LPs they wanted, all three stores. Not the Gang Starr 12’s, no Wu, No Nas… I could keep listing, but the quality of records as far as rap goes is about the same as the first few I just listed. So…. Has Madlib’s adoring indie rock following pulled these people from liking other Hip Hop? Is there now a kind of rap that moslty white folks like? I say this because the stores I was in, were mostly indie rock by nature, that said… Dusty Groove was in the mix here. So.. off to ebay this shite. Nothing much about this, just noticed a little something. I mean, El-P ? That would be the Garbage of the lot.
