Notes from a suburban raver - DannyL's list

[luka]

i listened to joey jay too but kiss was legal at that point. great show.

I definitely heard steppers and roots shows, Kiss has Joey Jay and Mannaseh. I think they were white guys but they were still good.

Kiss was legal after 1990 tho right?

 

[DannyL]

Third has just reminded me that I meant to put up this track.

29.Nitty Gritty - Under the Moonlight


Just another example of those crazy creative fantastic sounding reggae tunes you chance on when you're a bit tuned in.

"I can have my stoner fantasies but don't have to actually listen to black people" it sounds like.

the most weed consumption I saw was in Leeds amongst students. Never seen anything like it in London.

Yeah I was listening to it for a few years prior though. I actually wrote to Gordon Mac at one point probably still got the letter somewhere. Kiss was always the best of the pirates, at that time anyway.

Thinking you never see any white kids in these drill videos, is that cos no white kids live in those areas or they're just considered an embarrassment? (I know there are exceptions like potter payper (who's half Algerian), k koke (who appears to be greek).

Mutual white friend of mine grow up with Wiley and co in Bow, he was never an MC though. Course you had Skratchy and Devlin and others.

 

[thirdform]

they should do a soundclash with all the fat freddies in the world.

sometimes youll spot one in the background but they make him wear a mask. youre getting the albos turn up now too.

loads of whites in road rap. benny b, dru blu, morrison etc. obviously white people live in those areas. theyre more white now than they have been for generations cos of the east europeans.

theres often a scene in the videos now where they exchange a bag with the albanians around a fancy continental car to prove theyve got connections with the big boys.

 

[thirdform]
