This is about confirming a particular demographic’s sense that hip-hop conveniently went to shit the minute they stopped paying attention to it. It’s about reassuring readers who think Waka Flocka Flame sounds like a bunch of noise that they’re still cool, not providing a service to readers who count on critics to have tastes more adventurous than their own.
