zappa would openly ridicule almost all of this.

if zappa were alive today, he'd probably be making novelty techno that sounds vaguely like psy and writing off any kind of hyphenated rock music as 20th century.

and, he'd no doubt have spent the 00s doing cracked out hip-hop, spitting rhymes over soundscapes that sound like mashups of squarepusher, mars volta, indricothere and flying lotus.

(if somebody has enough spare time for that, i'd like to hear it)

honestly. that is the absolute truth.

if zappa were still alive, he'd have ten or fifteen hip-hop records and would be heavily into abstract techno.

"shut up and play the return of the son of monster hip hop from hell, on your guitar, some more"

you've never heard a rap in 37. that's just 'cause zappa didn't live long enough to get to it. you don't understand what he would have done to hip-hop. you probably *can't*.
