There's a long and friendly article about modern rap artists - from Nas to 50 Cent and beyond - and their recent references to bitcoin, on the homepage of Pitchfork today.
Given that pitchfork is arguably the most influential music publication of the indie world, this is a nice thing to wake up to.
You never know what you're going to get with these kinds of articles - will be a hype piece, a hate piece, or something in-between? I'm super happy to see that the author here, Sheldon Pearce, gave it a nuanced and intelligent look. He praises the positive aspects of crypto and shines a mostly fun light on its relationship with hip-hop, while still taking time to point out the risk of scams in the space.
This paragraph is a standout:
If you're a pitchfork kinda person, I recommend giving the full article a read. It isn't too long and it has a lot of fun trivia.
As the years go by, the relationship between music and blockchain continues to grow. I think we're in for a good future, 2018 so far has been an excellent sign of things to come.
