German Company Hoping Scratch And Sniff CDs Will Prop Up Sagging Market All T.I. Wants Is Some Cranberry Sauce (And Maybe Some Extra Gravy)

spankrockkkk.jpgHow your bloggy sausage gets made: Bloggers get e-mailed a video by 2 Live Crew “homage practitioners” Spank Rock and Benny Blanco; Marc Hogan at Pitchfork actually engages kinda critically with it and is unimpressed; the Fader responds with its typical “it’s all good, brah, why d’you have to be such a downer“ stance; and finally, Gorilla Vs. Bear uses the dust-up as an opportunity to remind his readers that he cut and pasted his e-mail into Blogger posted the video before anyone else. Doesn’t it all make you just want to rush into Wordpress and set the Internet on fire?

    i was glad to see someone finally calling this shit out (spank rock + benny blanco, not the internet controversy).

    my problem w/ these dudes is really the lack the of good taste/humor. like, lots of rap is obv just as mysoginistic as this, but a. at least most of it is balanced w/ a track or two per album that laments dead friends or talks about a traditional “romance” (i.e. showing some depth) and b. even tho lil wayne or snoop dogg or whoever might have mysoginistic lyrics, spank rock + benny blanco just seem like tried and true douche bags. a step down from even your typical frat boy who walks into a party and announces “MAN I HOPE THERE IS SOME GOOD PUSSY HERE TONIGHT.”

    do people honestly find this shit funny?? i guess the music is okay on a purely visceral level (nice beats, etc.) but i hope people are just filling post quotas by posting that vid.

    Haha, perfect summary of Fader’s position on, well, everything (”thinking gives you wrinkles” would’ve also sufficed).

    Hogan gets extra credit for saying “knuckleheads”. That’s a word I’d like to see used more often.
