So Not Like Me.....

It pains me to say that I'm deeply intrigued by that song, Soulja Boy. I know! Forgive me. All that dance/hip hop/pop/rap crap I really can't stand, but that song is such an easy listen.

Just like Sandstorm by Benny Benassi (which I'm not ashamed to love!) the repetitive, deep-bass, rhythmic, beat is something I must give some credit to. While the lyrics are as annoyingly misogynistic as other music of this genre, I can over look "superman dat hoe" (find it on urbandictionary.com, I was offended too) for something I really can't help but dance to. And that silly dance they've made up for it is so much fun to watch!

I can put down my snobby indie-rock ideals for a moment to enjoy the little bit of entertainment I can derive from the hip hop/rap (I don't even know what to call it) genre.

Alright, give me ten minutes while i find a real artist/band to comment on. Forgive my infidelity as I delved into "the wrong side" of music.

Peace
