Can you give little write ups for each record telling us what it is you find crazy sick insane about each one please? I'm not saying they're not, it just makes it more engaging. And remember not everyone hears music in the same way. If this board teaches us anything it's the mystifying fact of human difference.
Barty for instance when he hears anything from the '80s it just makes him giggle. He's very condescending towards it. Treats it like a children's cartoon.
Dave Tomkins is good at writing about this stuff in terms of foregrounding the futuristic sickest insane time travel aspects and Kodwo Eshun did it too in More Brilliant. I think for a lot of people it's behind the time barrier so it needs those words to prop it up.
I can't hear scratching and those synth stabs that I always associate with BDP as weird and avant garde any more, but that Marley Marl track is genuinely unplaceable - seems to have more in common with industrial than hip hop
We are moving towards the apotheosis of mvuent. The diffidence dial will be tweaked down a notch, the assertiveness dial cranked up a touch, self-belief turned up to 10, till the aura becomes visible, we're away!
Corpse don't want a mvuent apotheosis. He doesn't want to share the spotlight, treading on his toes when he sees him just beneath him on the ladder and closing.
