Glum mofos

Whats up with that Sir-Vere and Funkmaster Flex banner at the top? Both of them look like they are about to cry. Whatever happened to good old smiles, or is staunch/sad the new look to stay?

Glum is generally the preferred cool look. But that goes for most genres, not just hiphop. How many techno djs smile in their promo shots?

Although theres always exceptions. Common is grinning away on the cover of his new album, it's quite a nice wee album too, though one or two tracks edging a little close to new agey rnb territory for me personally.

lets hope kanye's isn't the same. Diamonds is good so hopefully more of that and not any further towards the r'nb

Interesting debate about common here.
