Getting Mugged In Brixton

[Dave Mullen]

I know I'm making a stereotypical assumption here but I also think that the electronically generated noise they laughingly call music has an influence here. For example they go on about "respect" which has nothing to do with respect but everything to do with intimidation and bullying.

Although the type of music in question does not directly advocate robbing I think that a lot of its weak minded listeners probably think that the lyrics which advocate taking in society but not giving anything justify their actions.

Shame really because in the early years hip hop was seen as a positive force in the community rather than a force of division.

Dunno Dave, I just think they're cowardly bastards full stop!

 

[Dave Mullen]

I know but cowards usually need some justification for their behaviour. They'll get theirs in the end. One will probably do something which his associate regards as being dissed and end up paying the price. As I said earlier those that live by the sword and all that.
