Slog - Comments on Dope Emporium http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/12/dope_emporium_1 Last night's Dope Emporium at CHAC proved to be a success, despite the rain and wind. Those who missed the show missed some of the best local hiphop performances of the year. Oldominion did a dynamite set and made it clear that they are still a force to be reckoned with, still a powerful pack of rappers, still got love for the streets. Abyssinian Creole threw down their humanist hiphop, and Dyme Def, who are produced by Bean One, dissolved any doubt that they have the goods to make a big impact on 2007. Dope Emporium has all that...

But Eagle Scout from Magnolia? Those two items hardly convince me he can't rap.

Relax, it's just music and all our favorite rappers are 2 slaps shy of being bitches anyway, so...you know what it does. Just let it firgure itself out and look like less of weeny talking about rappers you don't like on the net. Seriously. It's not a good look for anyone.

He's still got placenta on him. But I still don't know if he can rap.

So much for bucking the "whiteboys are stiff and dorky" stereotype though.

However...

I saw Grynch perform at the D. Black show at Chop Suey back in September and the kid was pretty dope to be honest. One would be quick to judge him by the way he looks because, well, he does fit the white and nerdy stereotype. But regardless, he was on point and didn't portray himself to be something he's obviously not (a gangbanging,
drug dealing hard ass who will fuck you up at a moment's notice) so to try and discredit him for whatever reason is pretty pointless.

Anyhow, anybody know if they're gonna make the Dope Emporium an annual thing?

Hip Hop's not about culture or art it's about trying to be what white people think being black is all about!

Eagle Scout? Seriously? Wow. I'm so not feeling that struggle. Raise baby kittens why don't you? Fuckin' knit me a scarf or something. Sheesh.

BTW, watched JL Goddard's "Sympathy for the Devil" last night. Thought of you. Have you seen it? Remarkable take on the whole black/white cultural exchange/drag thing. I'm thinking of the single-shot scene of the black men reading among the junked cars, situated of course, within a documentation of the famous rock band in the studio developing and recording the famous rock song.
