"funky in hindsight" or something...
something reminded me of it and i was wondering what people now thought about .... what had emerged as a canon of tunes... how many stood up still... etc
cos from my admittedly unengaged standpoint, it feels like... well, hardly anything has ascended to that sort of pantheonic status of your 'renegade snares' and 'terrorist' and 'some justice' or 'Destiny' or "Oi!' or whatever later classics.
funky's definitely produced timeless classics. things that get everyone going 20 years down the line in the same way wookie's remix of sia does.
given drill's subject matter and gender balance, it's ironic that it owes far more explicitly to funky and bassline than it does to grime.
