^ say what you want about pitchfork but they like hip hop a lot more than me, i'll bet if you look up some of your fav 2010 rap albums (i assume you are a rap fan) that you wont be let down with their ratings.... drake albums sucked dick, i still havent listened to the eminem, im just not that interested in current hip hop at all, if i want rap, i bump some classic shit.
oh yeah and for the people who like vampire weekend, since this is a rap forum maybe youll be interested to know that THEY ARE BASICALLY STEALING ALL THEIR IDEAS FROM AFRICAN MUSIC. but people like a white face in trendy clothes before they are prepared to listen to music with guitars so why would you know that anyway? the talking heads did it 20 years ago and no-one noticed.here is a favourite african band of mine you might like. the whole vampire weekend shtick is to mix african guitars and rythms with indie rock. im not saying they suck because of that, im just stating a fact and people who like them might be interested to know: this is were it comes from, this is how it is done!

On the other hand, Vampire Weekend incorporates a lot of more sounds than just some of the calypso and other afro sounds. They definitely still have "westernized" style as well. First album is yes, heavily influenced but their recent LP has a lot of more genres blending.
fuck all that culture vulture bullshit, i doubt many people listen to v.w. and go, wow i feel so african right now, i mean, do you really think that?
why it gotta be one way or the other, i like african music, i bang with some Babatunde Olatunji but i also like the v.w. indie sound. white people in the 60s stole off black blues, does that discredit all the music.. fuck, i still can't decide whether i like the rolling stones or the original jimmy reed version of honest i do... and fuck, some of the shit zeppelin did with blues classics, i like em more, fuck all that culture vulture bullshit, i doubt many people listen to v.w. and go, wow i feel so african right now, i mean, do you really think that?

"hey have u heard this band, theyre really cool, yeah theyre 'african' influenced" which then leaves the typical indie fan feeling as if they have experienced 'culture' yet all they are doing is listening to indie rock. they have no desire to actually experience another culture unless it is neatly packaged and fits with what they already enjoy. im not saying this is you or anyone else here, but lets not pretend it doesnt happen like..... all the fucking time. people do this. a random example but its definitely something happening currently, cee-lo is pandering to the indie crowd and now a lot of whitebread indie kids are like "wow cool im listening to a black dude" yet again they dont have to step outside their comfort zone because most of his new shit has boring indie backing. im not an indie hater, its just white 20-somethings are the most guilty of this shit and indie is the music/brand that represents them most closely
