Hip-Hop History

28Feb06

The Smithsonian Institute is putting together an exhibit on hip-hop culture. Chris over at Crap Filter thinks this could be the death knell for hip-hop.

You know you’ve made your mark when The Smithsonian comes looking for your stuff. Either that, or your contribution to pop culture and society has become so mainstream and passé that eight-grade civics teachers can’t wait to take their classes there to ogle it. Museum officials, most likely tweed-jacketed types who I can only assume will faint at the actual sound of rap music, have issued a casting call of sorts for memorabilia.

Say it ain’t so. The place will probably be filled with things like MC Hammer’s puffy pants. Sorry Hammer those outfits were pretty horrible. I hope this doesn’t effect the link exchange though?
