"Hipster Hop"

DJ Ray Protege "Hipster Hop"

Hipster Hop Mixtape

The term Hipster seems to be applied to any hip hop group right now that is young and fashion forward, and doesn't talk about money, drugs and strippers. The remainder of the Rapper Pie after that, gets the HIPSTER stamp, which is too bad, since some folks shut down when they hear a title that's overused or that they think automatically represents certain things.

Some people hear that label just the same way they will hear the "neo-soul" title and make generalizatinons about everyone this label applies to. "Oh i'm not with that incense burning stuff", or "I'm not into headwraps"...when the main thing these people have in common is that their music will tend to have a more organic sound than some of the more synthesized music.

The main thing these so called "hipster" groups have in common with eachother is what they ARE NOT doing.
Anyway, I can go on about it, but here is a mixtape where those acts address being shoved into this category. Shouts to my boys Naledge and Double O of Kidz in the Hall. Congrats on everything....!!!
