Re: crappy music of the masses -- Gangsta' rap vs. Outlaw folk
Bringing this back to the subject of the thread (though not to the
topic of looping), is Gangsta' rap simply an updated version of the
outlaw myth that is part of many folk musics (Certainly country,
bluegrass, Irish), or something more onerous.
I could argue this one either way.
(Perhaps the answer is that when Johnny Cash sang "I shot a man in
Reno just to watch him die."m, he didn't give the impression that he
was proud of that action.)
