How do you feel about the term hipster rap? Do you feel it applies to you?
Double-O: No. Because the definition of a hipster is a, well, I don't know what the original Wikipedia definition was when they used it back in the '50s, but now it's become a very pretentious title. It defines somebody who may or may not really be attached to the art form, but they just like it because it's kind of ahead of the curve or it's cool. So, I think that all it is is another definition, trying to define a sub-genre of music that they just haven't figured out how to define yet. That, really, to me, that's the buzz on music going around right now. I don't call it hipster rap, there's a lot of different types of stuff going on, it'd not just hipsters that like it. It just so happens that the bloggers and some of the more forward-thinking people are up on it.
Hipster or not, at the end of the day its all hip hop. 'nough said.
