Rappers and Bloggers
Edited on Thu Feb-24-05 08:46 PM by Moochy
taken from Slate article: http://www.slate.com/Default.aspx?id=2113913& by Josh Levin


"Rap music and blogging are populist, low-cost-of-entry communication forms that reward self-obsessed types who love writing in first person. Maybe that's why both won so many converts so quickly. If you want to become MC I'm Good at Rapping, all you have to do is rustle up a microphone and a sampler. If you want to blog as AngryVeganCatholicGOPMom, bring a computer, an Internet connection, a working knowledge of Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V, and a whole lot of spare time.


Ooh he's so clever! copy and paste! Man this guy is clueless. I'm wondering if anyone else thinks this article was utter crap.

1. i can't read Slate anymore
it's too clubby.

heard a Slate guy on Day To Day (for the few minutes I could stand to have it on), basically saying the same thing you've heard for decade about hyperlinking and such.

open your eyes, man!
