"I think were seeing the life of hip-hop coming back with songs like 'Aunt Jackie.' It's the kids acting like kids used to act when I was growing up, and I love it because, to me, hip-hop has been too cool for school lately." While I'm linking to music on YouTube, I meant to post this while in Seattle and forgot: Slate's Jody Rosen examines the Aunt Jackie phenomenon. Who's Aunt Jackie? She's "new rap music with an old-school flow," i.e. a goofy, ridiculously infectious throwback jam that's been blowing up on the Tube over the past six months. No gangstas, no bling -- just old-school beats, rhymes, and b-boyin' invoking the early days of NYC hip-hop. (NSFW, due to language and the fact that you'll likely try to imitate the Aunt Jackie after awhile.)
