I think intellectually 'slumming it' is worse than elitism anyway. Some music is just fucking dumb. I heard a Notorious BIG song a few days ago and he was rhyming about cumming on his stomach and having a prostitute lick it up. In a few years time someone will propose doing Notorious BIG studies at a shitty university and some professor guy will say 'no way, that music is dumb - and stop saying he's a poet' and he will be accused of being a stuffy elitist.


The same thinking attempted to condemn "Howl" as well.
