Where does Kim Gordon rank in the All-Time Greats in hip-hop?
She doesn't.
Why would she rank? Because of I Love You Mary Jane with Cypress Hill? Because Chuck D makes a cameo on Kool Thing? Because of some stretch of the imagination about a few stream-of-consciousness type lyrics she sings on a few songs?
Are we so deperate for ideas for discussion that we've come to settle for absolutely inane ones?
Kim's basslines are influenced by her favorite artists &, moreover, by her own artistic bent. If one were pressed to name a genre's influence it would be reggae, not hip-hop.
Some of Steve's drumming from the Goo/Dirty SY-at-their-most-popular-era sounds hip-hop influenced, but other that, what we've got here in this topic is some sort of uncensored-by-self brain fart.
Once again, I'm inclined to write something not wholly but partially off-topic as a result of the main discussion's total lameness.
Original Wrapper by Lou Reed was performed on an SNL rerun last night...it's the episode hosted by Sam Kinison...it's a weak effort, but man, that guitar outro is vintage Lou-noise.
