“Chamber Music Insurgents”

This is what happens when classical musicians act ‘hood…

So Percussion! So what?! Think they’re in touch with the street./On your minimalist tip we got that champion beat./ Iannis Xenakis. What? You think you bad playin’ hard shit/ with nested triplets and septuplets?

You down with MTT? Yeah you know me!/ S.F. Symphony, but that’s not all the he be./ American Marvericks , spinnin’ fab shit,/ like Milton Bizabbitt, but HGP’s so past it.

…

“Eighth Blackbird we can play your music backward/ Then chop it up and serve it to you 13 Ways!/ Y’all stuck on Kronos carbon copy new music cliches/ Straight pimpin’ Fred Rzewski for that Grammy mo-NAY.

There’s something hilarious about the misspelling of “mavericks” in the second stanza that makes me want to put sic after it.
