Funky-Ass Shit Nearly Every Single Day

"I like this shit." It is impossible not to love Snoop Dogg just a little bit more as he bobs his head along to the banjo and sings along to a bluegrass version of his own song, the immortal "Gin and Juice" cover by The Gourds.

Some boring party, you have no choice but to converse, with one of the usual undesirable characters—the lightweight indie-rock pussy with the All-Star shoes, the brain-dead jam-session freak who never goes out without a guitar and a copy of Bringing it All Back Home, the macho white rockist who thinks Led Zeppelin invented rock n' roll.

"What kind of music have you been listening to?" As if you didn't already know, but it's the kind of question that should be worth asking.

"Oh, I like ALL kinds of music! Except country and rap."

As this moving video clip shows, those cultural fundamentalists are right to place country and rap in one category. They are the genres which best represent the real meaning of the term "popular music": music produced and consumed by people. Real people, not the walking cartoons who wear music like an accessory. Those dipshits can buy a fucking Prada bag.
