Mac vs. PC rap... is this hophop?

Is this really hiphop? I'm not even sure how serious or sincere this is.

I've heard lots about "geek rap" and nerdhop over the years and the truly annoying acts like Hester Prinn and her Northern State sisters. (I swear I lost brain cells just typing those last few words.)...

But there's the Weird Al Yankovich spoof rap and the extreme backpack stuff that's so intentionally non-rhythmic and whitebread that it's not only parodying hiphop but parodying the guys doing the parodies. Then there's that SNL white-boy crap that people actually fell for as being good. I won't even waster your time with the links.

But as for these Mac v. PC boys aka Pantless Knight Crew: they'e got got over 3.5 million web hits, plus TV coverage and mainstream mag luv that your fave emcee can't even payola their way into. They got more suite cred (and street cred for that matter) than Hurricaine Chris, Jada, 'Ye, Talib, Common,Black Thought , Pac and just about everybody you can name check.

Makes you wonder who's realer?

Steve Jobs or  Bill Gates?

        We Want Our Kids Back Too is an online campaign highlighting the disparity in coverage of missing children of color in favor of missing white, so-called "pretty" girls, and white women. People of Color deserve just as much consideration as any white person. Take a look at these ads and circulate them often.
