Remember when these Bay Area remixes used to be good?
1. Da Oowop "Craigslist Money (Arab Money Remix)"
As you might have guessed, it's about practicing the world's second oldest profession on what is damn near the Internet's oldest website. It also sounds like they had to use some knockoff shareware version of AutoTune. I would have appreciated a mention of the Craigslist Killer making business harder, or referring to dollars as "roses" in those ridiculous postings, but this guy is just awful at rap.
Just like this song, Craigslist is a fucking mess. There was a great article on Wired recently explaining all of CL's problems. Da Oowop is only the tip of the iceberg. I took craigslist's shittiness for granted for too long; it is truly absurd that we depend on this poorly designed spammer's paradise for housing, jobs, and - for some - "love".
2. Dorrough "Ice Cream Paint Job"
Unrelated: My current Southern rap guilty pleasure. I'll take a tardy pass on this.
3. From the Inbox
Complex from the 707 writes, in response to the last post:
"Whoever wrote that Murder Dog article is retarted [sic]. Lil' 4-Tay is Rappin' 4-Tay's SON. Also Roach Gigz' mixtape to be released is called "Buckets & Booty Calls" NOT "Buckets Of Booty". Just thought as a Roach/Lil' 4 fan I should straighten that out."
The plot thickens! Still, he is right about that Buckets of Booty nonsense. Though if I were Roach I might wonder whether that might be a better name for a mixtape.
This all has me wishing that I were, somehow, a Gender Studies major at Wellesely, but not really. Think about how much your professors would eat up a paper about a female rapper from San Francisco who blurs gender lines so successfully that no one can even agree on her gender, though no one really cares whether she's a guy or a girl. You could probably get a fucking book deal out of something like this, and Gender Studies majors would have heated debates about it in their discussion groups facilitated by stocky, mustachioed female TAs who go out of their way to use words like "heteronormative" and the gender-neutral pronoun "Ze", and so on and so forth.
Whoever thinks of a good title for my contribution to the ever-growing field of Gender Studies gets the dedication page of my book.

you could work in the opposite world of jerking where women rap better and raunchier than men and dudes rap about going down on girls all the time. Matthew Africa mentioned it on his blog but didn't really go into it.
To me the wired article kind of read like a marketer just being really pissed that Mr. Craig isn't trying to take his users for everything they have.
Craigslist is an example of a non-monetized service that betters everyone involved (except newspapers' classified ad sections) by taking money out of the equation – actually cutting out the middleman – and I think that Da Craig's refusal to capitalize on and take advantage of his market dominance is commendable and preferable to whatever would take its place.
also any discussion of sexuality and gender in modern music has to address how people find lady gaga's aggressive sexuality so frightening that they have to invent rumors about her being a hermaphrodite to deal with it
can you let T-Rok do a guest post? please?
The faggots have spoken man now you got to.
I still think it's crazy how off the femcees are going in Jerkin' ...
did i ever tell you i taught a seminar called west coast rap & women as a part of introduction to feminism at santa cruz? yeah, i think i remember telling you that at the random sunset party where my boy was swangin it in his 5.0 in a residential area.
to dead the controversy, no less an authority than imdb has this to say:
[Rappin 4-Tay's] daughter Jasymne [sic] is also a rapper and goes by the names "Lil 4Tay" and "Jazzy" - she performed a duet "Me and My Daughter" with him on Gangsta Gumbo and on stage with him during the "StreetLow Magazine" tour.

but taking a look at dude's myspace page, calling Lil 4Tay "Jasmyne" is liable to get you knocked the fuck out.
