I will watch those in a minute but I remember after I came back from the South with my Dad Luka showed me a terrifying video by Young Jeezy and some other rapper from (I think) Baton Rouge. In Atlanta, when we got lost down town I’d waded confidently into a convenience store in an obviously dodgy area to ask for directions to the hotel. Spread my map across the counter and put on my best entitled Hugh Grant accent, and it was fine, while my Dad slightly cowered in the car. When I showed him the videos Luke sent me weeks later he had a weird quasi-racist fit, strange for a Baby Boomer liberal jazz, soul and blues obsessive.

One of my favourites, Alexander O’Neill is from Natchez which, by the way, is a lovely town.



it was these two. classic videos. loads of guns.

At that point I had John Lydon’s advice in my ear: be confident and unexpected, as if it is all natural, and every one else will either be on the back foot or respect you chutzpah. It works.

Crowley those tracks are amazing.

But just make me think you need to write your book on the interface of rap, US States/regions, drugs and technology. You have me, Luke and Sadmanbarty begging for this, calling you as a guy with untapped potential and genius! What will it take? A cash advance? A blowjob from blissblogger?

Also I'm writing something but it is definitively on hold for at least the rest of the month while I get my life in order but let me assure you:

There's almost 3 pages and at least 1,731 words worth of it thus far.

yay at last! actual critical engagement and analysis! well done. you engaged with the decade and pinned down its salient characteristics. we've spent 45 pages on the dematerialisation thread saying the same thing. slow. druggy. porno. weird.
