If you check out the second part of this article and the follow up review you'll see this isn't about raggin on kids, it was about asking all the questions being raised by the witch-house lovers and haters, and seeing where the truth lies (part 2 of this article). I agree, long live creativity; everything needs a starting point and I do see potential.... here in the UK witch house is pretty much dismissed as a fad, indeed I got abuse for even considering it a genre. <br /><br />As for the racism comment, please reconsider just how casually you reached for that prejudice - don't confuse comments on culture as racist rhetoric.Low Qualityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17705046230840028004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608554013680485854.post-44688404387358609532010-12-24T12:28:11.052+00:002010-12-24T12:28:11.052+00:00All artists listen to music as they grow up; emu...All artists listen to music as they grow up; emulate that music and <br />hopefully, add innovations or variations to it.<br />Artists always get it wrong but getting it wrong frequently creates <br />new forms of musics.<br />As cool and interesting as the Purple Drank music is, DJ Screw grew up listening to older hip hop and R&B and created music in that genre with his own twists on it (specifically recording vocals and tracks,slowing them down and representing South Houston, Texas in an admirable fashion). <br /><br />You won't find journalists who rag on him for doing that; for being influenced and reframing the music he loved.......so why on earth should you rag on some kids who were inspired by that music and added their own personal interests (so called witch house)? To me it's spurious to critique it in that way and I suspect that the critique has more than it's fair share of reverse racism in it, merely because those musicians are young and white.<br /><br />Besides, a large number of 'witch house' groups (not that I'm an expert) have limited edition CDR releases and are almost impossible to purchase........so who is exploiting who in this scenario?<br /><br />Long live the innovation of DJ Screw..............long live the fact that a band like Salem, loved and was inspired by his music and put their <br />own personal touch on it's form.<br /><br />Long live creativity!Rick Walker aka loop.poolhttp://www.youtube.com/looppoolnoreply@blogger.com
