I know hearsay and conjecture, not things I have witnessed with my own eyes. And I am not contesting the verdict, or shouting out "Free Titch!"
But I believe the information I was told to be true. If Goodz and Titch have not chosen to reveal the information I know, then it is not my place to do so. And it would not have been anything which would have swayed a decision of not guilty. People spit lyrics for each other directly and indirectly every week in the Grime scene and nothing happens. Violence did not occur due to lyrics, it occurred to subsequent incidents in a tit for tat escalation of "disrespect" leading to physical threats.
I fingerpoint the lazy media (not 'bad' media) for not properly breaking down the reasons behind these incidents which happen in underground clubs playing many different types of music all round the country nowadays. People get shot in House clubs. Is it related to House music? No, it is related to the fact that people who do the shooting started listening to House music. Same with Grime and Hip Hop. The people who do the shootings or stabbings are in a part of society who listen to that music.
It's like saying most young muggers and criminals wear baggy Nike hoodies, does wearing Nike hoodies encourage you to commit crimes? Are Nike to blame for making clothing which conceals your identity with such ease?
No. Because many many other members of society wear their clothing and are upstanding members of the community. Much like the other 250,000 people who bought Boy In Da Corner, or the other 100,000 who bought In At The Deep End or Home Sweet Home, are generally fine, upstanding people.
Look at the people commiting the acts and blame their immediate environment, not one of the few creative positive things they have any interest in doing.
