Hey Guys,

I'm gonna kind of delay the foray into French musical acts till next time again, cause I want to talk about hip hop. I wanted to talk about it cause I've been hearing T-Pain in too many damn songs.

But first watch this clip from a Hip Hop documentary about hyper masculinity in hip hop it's quite awesome

after than, now watch this documentary on west coast hip hop

I think understanding many of the cultural debates surrounding hip hop cause it influences our culture so much today. So yeah, check it out. For todays now load I'm linking to Plies so you can head the song with T-Pain that triggered me putting this post together.
