      <![CDATA[The indie and the hip hop cited, in this lifestyle war disguised as a debate on aesthetics, are dire for the same reason: while certain talents have proven to be "lucrative" in the current market (eg, being a self-absorbed wannabe-upper-middle class white kid or being a wannabe felonious black kid with terrible taste in bitches), the talents which once ruled (originality; compositional skills; a moving singing voice; idiosyncratic narrative wit with a lyric) are almost extinct.

      <![CDATA[Suggesting Hot 97 is where one looks to find the direction of hip hop is like saying the innovators in indie rock are Moe and Guster cause they play more colleges than anyone else. The point is the relative popularity of innovative hip hop, Kanye, Big Boi, etc. is on the upswing and this points to more exciting and risky things happening in that space.

      <![CDATA[That Deerhunter toss off seems particularly misguided to me, like he didn't really listen to it much if all he came away with was them trying to be accessible and universally liked. Take, "He Would Have Would Have Laughed" for example.
