hip hop for white people


meowymix 6.0

and when i say "white people" i mean, non-black.  i think these MCs bring something more to the table than self-aggrandizing, sexualized lyrics, which is something lots of (white) people can't get over when it comes to hip hop these days.  and on top of that, there's nothing white people appreciate more than a guy being ghetto AND intelligent.  i mean... who wasn't cheering for Omar when he bested the then-untouchable Levy during the Gant murder trial?  

but after living in atlanta for four years, i just can't help but make a case for dirty south hip hop.  sometimes you just gotta admit that a song is tyte, no matter what the dude is saying over the track.  i hope the transition from classic east coast hip hop (gza, ghostface) into more recent atl work (jeezy, t.i.) runs smoothly for you folk at home.  i snuck in some oldschool outkast just to ease the flow.  

leading off the set is mostly east bay hip hop from the early 90s.  retro + underground music + semi-intelligent hip hop = super indie street cred.  

so enjoy the new meowymix in all of its intelligent, non-sexual hip hop goodness, but lock the doors before you do!
