What is up with hipster music blogs bein' all high and mighty?
OK, maybe that question answers itself...
Flavorpill had the following to say about a group that's performing tonight @ Mercury lounge:
"Hyper-intellectual Ivy League rapper MC Lars, meanwhile, will attempt to balance out the bill from the other end of the academic spectrum."
Not a knockdown, but a) having heard some pretty f*ckin talented "Ivy league rappers," I think maybe they could've left the "ivy league" out and just called him a rapper...I mean, just cause you're smart doesn't mean you don't have skills or aren't authentic or whatever they snarkily meant. I mean, I don't see Missy Elliot's show feeling the need to add "Ivy League" when discussing rapper, Akil Dasan (no, I'm not gonna go off on him again).
And for the record, MC Lars went to Stanford and then took classes at Oxford...maybe it takes an ivy league education to figure it out, but those are not Ivy League schools. I don't think ivy even grows in Palo Alto.
