The Knux


In case you haven't heard, hipster rap is all evil embodied for the hip hop purist. The main source of disdain is the Cool Kids, but other acts have drawn ire. Entire the Knux, a hip hop duo originally from New Orleans. They bring a different type of style that is increasingly influenced by indie rock as well as hip hop. They even claim to not see themselves as hip hop artists, as it focuses too much on lyricism and not production. If I've peaked your interest, check this article from complex for more from The Knux, as well as other up and coming artists. 



You can definitely here that indie rock influence on this one. 


But on this one they keep that Outkast flow.

The word is "piqued."
I can't tell whether you're for or against "hipster rap."
Barry Sanders isn't that great.
But, you're blog is pretty cool. Except don't you know Detroit won't exist in another six months? Might as well take that picture down now.
