tom petty on hip-hop

[philby]

from rolling stone #909
"i'm frustrated by what i hear. maybe it's not meant for me. personally, i'm way too bright for a lot of the hip-hop lyrics to affect. i'm much too smart to think that jewelry or how cool i am is really going to change much about my personality. if you're dumb enough that it entertains you, have a great time. but i am seeking more than that."

i guess he didn't find "the thong song" intellectually stimulating

It's funny that he would say that...
His version of "Back that Ass Up" is really good.


When I saw Tom Petty in concert this summer he was selling tshirts with a witty little line on them.
Sell your computer, Buy a guitar...

If only it were that easy, Tom.

tom has always been blunt and staight forward, gotta respect him for that. as a hip-hop fan myself i can do nothing but...agree with him! hip-hop is in a sad sad state at the moment.

I think it's cool that he spoke his mind, at least he had the balls to do it.

The loss of Jam Master Jay only emphasizes how bad hip hop/rap has become since run dmc were big. Tom Petty is absolutely right. Now hopefully he'll go write a better song than "last dj".
