Posse on Trendwatch: Hipster rap under fire

"Since when is it cool to dress like a dude that fucks another dude?" -- Termanology

The three instances that constitue a trend, according to the New York Times' rule:

1) The other day, Charles Hamilton got pwned by Serius Jones in a battle.

There's a video of it over on World Star. I didn't bother posting it or otherwise mentioning it, because a) it's one of those lame beefs where both sides are fucking losers anyway, like Joe Budden vs. Saigon; b) none of the rhymes struck me as all that interesting (which is generally the case with freestyle rap); and c) it wasn't even that clear to me that Hamilton got pwned. It looked like Serius Jones was judged the winner more so because he's bigger and looks like an adult, whereas Charles Hamilton looks like a little fruit.

2) Rhymefest hanged Charles Hamilton in effigy, and made a dis record about him over Oasis' JJ Fad's "Supersonic."

It's pretty meh, by Rhymefest standards. Also, there's that thing about both sides being fucking losers anyway. I can't believe Rhymefest actually brags about the Grammy he got for "Jesus Walks."

3) Termanology just released my new favorite Termanology song evar, "Tight Pants Are 4 Girls."

Is he going at Kanye? Lord knows Kanye is having a hard enough day as it is. Or did someone at Vlad TV add that picture of Kanye and the team of gay men he travels with (?) because they knew I'd find it amusing? Check the video for yourself, after the jump.
