I think poor is hot now and beatboxing is for the poor kids who couldn’t afford toys, they resorted to making noise with their mouths while daddy was out shooting people, and momma was upstairs smokin’ rock. They would drop beats for their boys in back alleys…as they got older…started to perform at the occassional clubs supporting their boys who were making it as MCs. They became an integral part of the occassional hip hop track as a thanks for providing a beat for the MC before he got signed. Like the clown at the circus, everyone likes to sit back and laugh at the beatboxer…
In twenty years, where will these Beatboxing people be? Probably on the street corner, with one palm out, and the other simulating a crab-scratch while making to sounds with they mouths, begging for change.
Sad story….but that’s what you get for being “hard” and living the hip hop dream…
