Comments on: Foreign Hip Hop is Lightyears Beyond the U.S. http://www.paulhirsch.com/blog/2009/foreign-hip-hop-is-lightyears-beyond-the-us/ Just another WordPress weblog Sun, 05 Feb 2012 07:23:33 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Christina http://www.paulhirsch.com/blog/2009/foreign-hip-hop-is-lightyears-beyond-the-us/#comment-37 Christina Thu, 25 Jun 2009 08:55:01 +0000 http://www.paulhirsch.com/blog/?p=52#comment-37 I like MIA ;) And to be honest, I applaud her for performing while pregnant :D She also had the baby several hours after the Grammys!! As for this post, I agree that Hip-hop hasn't been what it was during the 90's and it literally peaked at about 2002ish in my opinion. I too often find myself listening to tracks from way back in the day. Commercial/Pop music is what drowns the radio waves these days and I never listen to it for this reason. So whatever I do listen to or hear, it's usually from YouTube or browsing iTunes for something 'new' and refreshing.

I identify this trend by only 3 instances, so I'm making what could easily be an unfounded accusation. :-) Late response…there seems to be a trend in female hip-hop artists of wearing very tacky clothes.

I do remember she looked damned silly at the Grammys this year (if you're going to perform at 9 months pregnant, don't wear an outfit that makes you look like a polkadot beetle). I'll do a little searching and enlighten myself later today :) Hey Rhy,

Do you like MIA? I don’t know that she’s specifically categorized as Hip Hop, but I find the sound very similar to some other artists I like who are called Hip Hop. Do you like MIA?
