and obviously its not as simple as a black white polarity cos that tension plays out in the black community just as there are plenty of white people who love mcs and so on and so forth. the tension is real but doesnt map exactly onto racial divides

Kevin Martin compiled one of those comps and obviously loves MCs (and gets them paid too).
I guess it's harder to imagine that you are in some Blade Runner situation when there is a man chatting about all the crews in the dance and bigging up the DJ all over the shop. Same with rewinds.
It is a techno thing all this, isn't it? The sci-fi and the endless groove thing.
