funny you should ask that
i have alan oldham-detroit is burning and suburban knight-true to the game
on my current playlist and recently boogied to the vision-detroit:one
circle, all tracks that namecheck.....every time i listen to those tracks i
find the namechecking amusing and a little cheesy too
detroit techno has namechecked detroit so many times that it now seems as
its a sort of clichè, like rappers representin' their city of provenance.
i just feel that's it's not "very techno"....ie. futuristic, anonymous
machine music, but rather a seemingly gratuitous and crass statement in a
song that would otherwise have a more subtle and implied one, or none at
all.
ok, flame away.....;)
fab.....
np: b52's - mesopotamia (more namechecking.....)
What are people's views on it namechecking Detroit?
