Fakemink is the self-proclaimed savior of London rap, flirting with sounds of the new underground and creating the UK scene in his own image. Eli Schoop (@chrisdornerfan) explores the state of “underground” music, non-Black rappers in the modern climate, and what Fakemink’s status says about both. Out now on powmag.net

In what’s becoming a vital tradition, for the third year in a row, we asked friends of the blog to submit year-end lists about LITERALLY ANYTHING. Every year as I’m putting this together I ask myself if this the dumbest thing we publish or the most important. You can decide, read the full 2023 List of Lists at nobells.blog we got over 30 submissions this year. Link in bio. Art by @srikarswork

As part of the first wave of rock critics, Robert Christgau was perfectly positioned to have taken in every seismic shift in modern popular music. The allure of rock n’ roll crated his ambitions about jazz writing, and since the mid-60s Christgau took it upon himself to make sure rock criticism was considered just as valid and intellectually rich as jazz and classical critique, a pertinent example of this effort being his piece “Rock Lyrics Are Poetry (Maybe).” In the essay, published in Cheetah in 1967, Christgau ritually cites Ezra Pound and William Carlos Williams alongside Dylan, Crosby, Lennon, and McCartney in order to beef up their poetic bonafides. This is Christgau at his most idealistic, precociously granting the day’s music a level of legitimacy that his elders would’ve scoffed at—much like my peers did with Young Thug and Future against the bemoaning tides of rap purists.
