Hipster-itis
For a long while now, White hipster club (sub)culture has been permeating hip hop.
(A friend of mine always jokes that Black hip hop stars love to adopt White subculture looks after they are played out by Whites... Just like how it obviously works the other direction as well.)
The newest N.E.R.D. single/video, "Everyone Nose" is the pinnacle of White hipsterism married to hip hop. The jam is an ode to cocaine and the video... The video makes me think of 3 things:
1)Why the fuck is Steve Aoki not in there? 2)Does CobraSnake get royalties from NERD biting so hard? 3)Although it does borrow some aesthetics that I dig, how is all that shit cool?

Watch the finale of ANTM Cycle 211? The "full figured" aka normal sized woman won. But it is all a scam.
