Wednesday night, just as I was about to go to @ThatAmySloan‘s karaoke birthday, Twitter blew up with an epic debate about hiphop versus jazz/classical (academic?) musics. I feel like a little kid in kindergarten show ‘n’ tell – “Look, I made a Storify!” Enough folks asked for help following the thread or an archive. It ended up being way longer than I anticipated, but that’s what you get when you stir up debate between critics and musicians on the internet.

Thanks for compiling this. I am not surprised that we are still having these discussions in 2011, but I still feel advocates of jazz and classical would be best served by not having them: http://dmvclassical.wordpress.com/2010/07/15/mirror-mirror-on-the-wall/
