Re: It cannot be "blackanese"

I don't think there's a name for that. It's not really that new or niche; I think the problem is actually that it's not really distinct enough to have a name. It's not really its own genre that's set off from other things and in particular from other elements of hip-hop culture - it's more the case that a sizable subset of people who like hip-hop also are really, really into kung-fu movies and ninjas and shit.

Like, Man with the Iron Fists, RZA wasn't trying to make something withn what he regarded as a new genre or anything, RZA just really likes kung-fu and wanted to make a kung-fu movie, in addition to obviously being a legend in the hip-hop community. You know? So it's not a genre. It's just a two-great-tastes kind of a thing, where there tends to be a lot of overlap between the two things both in the people who like them and in the content or the appeal of the things themselves in a lot of ways.
