Yeah, he's one fast muthafucka.

On a related tip - Keith Murray absolutely destroys it on the this track (third verse):

Now that is a propa hip hop video I reckon. Fuck all this bling shit.

His last two albums have been fairly poor, imo.

Agreed. Which is as there was a point when 'Black on Both Sides' was my favourite hip-hop album EVER.

Much the same with Dilated Peoples... The Platform's cool, Expansion Team decent, after that... pretty ordinary.

The Weatherman isn't bad, but not great either.

sold Hip hop down the river and pumped it full of poison can go fuck themselves.

Goodnight.

Hip hop should've been in the river with a breeze block tied round its neck from the word go.

Utter shit.

One of my neighbours is playing at full volume some god awful hip hop bollocks consisting of someone talking interspersed with what appears to be children singing a nursery rhyme. It's cringe inducingly awful.

I've heard Big Bird do better.

What the fuck makes people buy this sort of shit let alone have the balls to play it where somebody else can hear it?

Some people have no shame

Hip Hop? Why?

Lowest denominator music, along with "dance music".

I'd have gone round and killed the neighbour in the face with some Black Flag or Conflict.

Honest questions: why do people search out 'conscious' rap? Do coke dealing, misogynist or materialist lyrics stop you enjoying the music altogether? Or is it the old school aesthetic, that people want to stick with? Where do you stand on modern/regional, non-'conscious' rap tracks that don't have anything offensive in?

 

[lights.out.london]

What is 'conscious' rap, please?

 

[Negativland]

The term is taken from reggae culture I think, in that context it means righteous, anti-Babylonian, political. Same in hiphop, roughly.

American rapper 50 Cent has threatened to stop releasing solo material if his next album fails to outsell a new CD by rival star Kanye West.

Good.

Let's hope you do.

And chuck youself under a train while you're at it you primadonna twat.
