we are the prophets- check this out

I like it. I think the mcing works in the context that its all a bit tongue in cheek anyway. Its not like richie is actually, (or trying to be) some gangsta mc. But he's no posh boy irl either. And its got a massive wobbly bass line, which is always a good thing.
 
well hellloooooo.

Well to clarify any misunderstanding here, YES IT IS A PISSTAKE!
The lyrics were originally written as a poem on the back of the bus in 2002, a few weeks after some pr**k mugged me on one!
It's a look at mass apathy and sheep-ism I guess, but certainly wasn't written to be taken too seriously.
I'm the first to admit that the lyrics have dated a bit, but I think the message still remains.
In fact it was the death of Ian Tomlinson that inspired my mate jess to say "look, you just got to get that tune out there"

I got to admit I find this whole posh thing quite hilarious. If you spent 25 seconds with me you'd see why.... working class from day 1!
Not like the middle-class Beasty Boys, but of course they've got American accents... which means that it's real hip-hop right?!?

Quite surprising, but the whole 'posh' thing actually seems to be a popular assumption (not just here). I guess mum just taught me to speak clearly!
Still, I find no reason not to be myself. It's my least favourite thing about most hip-hop... people playing up to some idea of what a hip-hop artist should be rather than being real.
However, I have no intention of being a hip-hop artist. I'm just having a larf'! ;)

PS. re: morris and the majors... I really liked that joke record! still got that 7 lying around somewhere :0 ha ha, guess it was more of an influence than I realised.

Anyway thanks everyone for all your feedback, good and bad. It's enlightening! oh and Sus, backatcha.... you too are a wanker!

Hello.

Apologies for spelling your name wrong in post #34.

I think you're missing the difference between people saying you are posh (they aren't) and saying that parts of the vocals in the track sound posh (they do). :)

Sure, it was just a surprise... 'cos being my voice - I'd never heard them in that way.
It still makes me laugh. Posh boy hip-hop. Perhaps this is an avenue that could be explored. I could make a rap tune about how unfair it is that daddy won't spring for a new 3 series right now, and I'll have to make do with this damn Audi for another 4 months.
I'm the laughing stock of Windsor. :(
 
bloody hell, you registered for this thread :D

for me, it wasn't thinking you were a posh boy that made me cringe, it was the fake 'black/jamaican' accent thing. i don't think it works. ever.

love your bass though mate. :cool:
 
i got sent the remixes in the early hours of this morning :eek:

love the original but can definitely see me playing the dubstep mix out :cool:

...and the d n b mix is something else :eek: reminds me of hedfuk parties in the early noughties- funny that :hmm:

Forward em on when you get a chance fella :)
 
i was given them as a promo by the man himself with fairly strict instructions about sharing which given the nature of the artist i'm only too happy to abide by. sure you understand, it will be available to buy on monday. d/l shouldn't cost more than a few squids. keep your eyes this way :)
 
Just a little bump to say that the original, the DNB and DUBSTEP remixes are now available to buy at Beatport exclusively for the next two weeks!
