Old People: Jeezy > Animal Collective
| by Rad Parker on March 23rd, 2009 |

According to the most intelligent music critics I've ever heard, older folks are more likely to be down with Young Jeezy than Animal Collective.
As a part of Scrapple.tv's Breakfast At Sulimay's web video series, three very seasoned listeners got a taste of new releases from both Jeezy and Animal Collective.
First, they get to try out Young Jeezy's "Black Dreams". The panel was split over the song, one listener giving a very comprehensive summary of the song's main themes by saying "I liked the tune, I just like it" and another criticizing Jeezy's influence as a prominent African American, saying that the tune takes him "right into the ghetto". Although, I'm pretty sure that is what Jeezy was going for.
Next, they try out Animal Collective's latest single, "My Girls" from their latest release, Merriweather Post Pavilion. The group of old folks quickly tire of a song that is known for being anything but boring. One of the listeners gets a headache from the music and lyrics being repetitious, while the others didn't like it all, one even mentioning that he doubts "that this group will get very far from Baltimore, Maryland". Maybe that guy should do his research: Animal Collective is currently on a world tour that has them visiting 13 different countries which happen to be pretty far from Baltimore.
