This is just something to think about. I wonder why Mr. Herren tends to
embrace hip-hop that comes from the east and west coasts while he is a
native of Atlanta. Why is he collaborating with Anticon when he could be
collaborating with Cee-Lo? I can only hope that he'll recruit some
collaborators from his hometown before his Prefuse full length is complete.
I liked the way Richard Devine can pay a small homage to Miami bass, but end
up with something completely different. Let's hope Scott can at least match
Richard and find a more secure niche than we've heard so far. This may be
picky of me, but I think it's very relevant. If he ignores the fact that he
comes from the South, then his music will be regionally invalid. And that
would mean that his music is culturally weak. And culturally weak hip-hop
is BAD hip-hop, no matter how much you're trying to "rebuild" it.
Btw, don't get me wrong, I LOVE me some Delarosa & Asora :) but this is just
a pet peev of mine. Again, just something to think about.
