NY Times Talks Ke$ha
Ξ December 28th, 2009 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Kesha |
Ke$ha was recently written up in a huge feature for the New York Times and the newspaper has nothing but good things to say about the 22-year old singer. Here are some of the things they had to say: “[Ke$ha] is rangy, with a model’s figure and a Sunset Strip attitude.”; “‘TiK ToK’ is something of a milestone in contemporary pop: the complete and painless assimilation of the white female rapper into pop music… A burgeoning pop star who is primarily a singer, Ke$ha is nevertheless a pioneer.”; and “It’s all part of the continuing deracination of the act of rapping, which used to be inscribed as a specifically black act, but which has been appropriated so frequently and with such ease that it’s been, in some cases, re-racinated. The very existence of the casually rapping white girl reflects decreasingly stringent ideas about race and gender.”
