Hick-Hop Blends Bluegrass and Rap
WHITESBURG, Ky. -- Some call the unusual blend of rural
and urban music
hillbilly hip-hop. Others call it hick-hop.
The collaboration of banjos, fiddles and drums set to
a beat that would
leave a rapper out of breath was created to reach inmates
from big
cities who are in rural Appalachian prisons.
Nick Szuberla, director of an eastern Kentucky radio
show that caters to
those inmates, brought bluegrass and hip-hop musicians
together in
Whitesburg earlier this month for a live performance
on WMMT-FM. Dirk
Powell, a banjo picker from Oberlin, Ohio, and Danja
Mowf, a hip-hop
artist from Richmond, Va., created music that lends
itself to both
clogging and break dancing.

I had a dream about this last year. The boys dress
in overalls and
white shirts and the girls dress in thin cotton print
dresses with
little black strap shoes. Except in my dream they called
it
"Responsabilly" because the songs were about
having positive values
in your life.

Blending hip-hop and clog-dancing is like making a
smoothie of castor oil &
road kill.
Goddamnit, if THAT shit catches on, I WILL go deeply
insane. Clog dancing is a
physical version of Tourette's Syndrome, except the
victims LIKE their condition
and want to pass it on to YOU. Watching that assholian
twitching is like being
subjected to a low frequency at a high enough amplitude
that your bowels start
to loosen. You'll have your hands around someone's throat
before you can say
"Hoss, LEAVE them cows alone!"
FIGHT THEM! FIIIIGHT THEEEEMMMM!!!!

I'm 47 and watching "CatDog"; what the
HELL??
If there is, in fact, a Heaven and a Hell,
all we know for sure is that Hell will be
a viciously overcrowded version of Phoenix...

This reminds me of the time that one of the extremely
Polish girls in
the extended family married some hill billy about an
hour south of
here. All the Polish relatives came to the wedding
expecting a Polka
band, and there was naught but a hillbilly band there.
You shoulda
heard them try to knock out a Polka as they damn near
picketed the place
and stomped out, and I don't mean a-stompin' the good
way, there was
practically a riot there. You simply cannot roll out
the barrel polka
on a banjo no matter how you try. C/W and Frankie Yankovic
mix is just
not physically possible. But I suppose the "next"
big thing will try to
combine the two in the future, just like Appalachian
Hip/Hop.
