since "who killed the jams" was brought up, I decided to check out what trouser press had to say about the subject (specifically if they had any chart info) I won't go over the corrections that need to be made to the page, except for this specifically related one: "Who Killed the JAMS?....reveals a viciously self-serving and proto-racist outlook in "King Boy's Dream," a short rap delivered over an insane hacking-cough-and-finger-pop percussion track: "I ain't no B-boy/I hate that shit/Those golden chains and Def Jam hype." In other words, it's okay for me to copy the work (both conceptually and literally) of African-Americans, but don't mix me up with that culture." I think the reviewer is WAY off the mark here (besides getting the "shite"/"hype" pseudo-rhyme incorrect) I took those lyrics to mean just about the opposite of racism: what drummond is actually doing is railing against the restrictive nature of the concept of "genre" and image - "in other words", why does pop music require a rapper to be a black, chain-wearing sterotype? a rapper need not even be "authentic", as long as the caricature is does ANYONE agree that the song is "proto-racist"???
