I write a lot. I used to have a semi-successful low-time indie rap career but that never really took off. Also wrote and competed in performance poetry, but was never really into it. Still listen to a lot of indie rap, and rap in general, as well as some performance poetry though. Nowadays I write and read a lot of comic books. My career goal is eventually to be a comic book writer, so hopefully that works out. I'm also into a bit of indie rock as well.
I work for two different bookstores under the same roof, essentially. One focuses on used books, old textbooks, things like that. We even have a legit first edition Hobbit for a few thousand, if anyone is interested. The other store focuses on radical, counter culture zines and books. Books about weapons, guns, activism, riots, drugs, survivalism, stuff like that. It's probably the best job I've ever had as my boss is cool as, and it's a super laid back work environment.
I'm also really interested in social media and using the internet to connect with people and network. I'm always interested in what new social networking sites are popping up and how the internet and technology in general is advancing. I love to talk about the future of technology to no end.
Other than that, I'm into some video games, movies a ton, the aforementioned music, and I follow mixed martial arts religiously, and want to practice some BJJ when I get the extra time and all.
I play my Xbox, Mafia 2 a lot, GTA 4, some fighting games. I hate MW2, and Halo. I also play a lot of Unreal Tournament GoTY edition.
I play Ocarina, Bari Sax, Program, and amongst other things, make music.
I also make house music. Why? Because I can.
But that doesn’t mean that young white people aren’t working hard to preserve music that has lost relevance. No, there are literally thousands of white people who are giving their all to keep old school Hip Hop alive.
Even as you read this, white people are telling other white people about the golden age of Hip Hop that they experienced in a suburban high school or through a viewing of The Wackness.
If you are good at concealing laughter and contempt, you should ask a white person about “Real Hip Hop.” They will quickly tell you about how they don’t listen to “Commercial Hip Hop” (aka music that black people actually enjoy), and that they much prefer “Classic Hip Hop.”
“I don’t listen to that commercial stuff. I’m more into the Real Hip Hop, you know? KRS One, Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, De La Soul, Wu Tang, you know, The Old School.”
Calling this style of music ‘old school’ is considered an especially apt name since the majority of people who listen to it did so while attending old schools such as Dartmouth, Bard, and Williams College.
What it all comes down to is that white people are convinced that if they were alive when this music was relevant that they would have been into it. They would have been Alan Lomax or Rick Rubin. Now the best they can hope for is to impress an older black person with their knowledge.
