Greetings,
In the latest issue of Perfect Sound Forever online music magazine <http://www.perfectsoundforever.com>, you'll find (among other things):
IRISH RAP
Paddy Whack by T.K. McNeil
"Irish rap, strange phrase is it not? Yet still, one that exists to describe a sub-genre of music. And if you have the words "House of Pain" running through your head please, give it a good hard shake. While there have long been shrieks of "cultural appropriation" any time anyone remotely pale tries anything even remotely associated with non-white culture, there is a clear and obvious exception to be made in the case of Irish rap. Who understands the rage, fear, poverty and desperation that lead to the creation of American gangster rap in the mid-'80's than someone growing up in a place that was quite literally an urban war zone."
We're always looking for good writers and/or ideas so let us know if you have anything to share.
See you online,
Jason
