“Yo! Indie Rock Raps”: Because What The World Needed Was More “Funny” Covers Of Pop Songs
There’s no music on the MySpace page for Yo! Indie Rock Raps yet, but we’re sure that when the samples do get posted, they will include at least one of the following: a, a “sensitive” reading of Chamillionaire’s “Ridin'”; b, a gender-flipped version of “Wait (The Whisper Song)”; or c, an emo-kid version of “Show Me What You Got.” A proposal: Can we call a moratorium on semi-smartass versions of pop songs by saddoes who are dopey enough to refer to themselves as “indie”? Sure, it’s a surefire way to get love from the music-blog masses, but most of the time, the covers only serve to call attention to how indie snobbery results in pop myopia and bad hair.
