you cant enter the conversation until you listen to this in full

and spend a year studying 80s soundclashes on youtube

dissensus hates ghetto but anyone that can do this cant be ignored

watching chipmonk stand up for himself and taking it to another level is inspiring too

the playlist cant properly address this question cos the records sound shit, really polite, compared to de ja vu recordings and soundclash tapes

Seriously Luka? Youre trying to school me on soundclash by sending me to sessions I've had since before YT existed?

Im outraged etc.

 

[luka]

i wasnt addressed to you this is a forum lol theres like, loads of people here!

 

[luka]

the correct, boring answer is dizzee during the times when he was still going on pirate radio though.

MC Conrad

 

[hucks]

MC Conrad

Ha was just about to say that. I was well into Bukem in 1994/5 and have tonnes of tapes and mixes which musically still just about stand up (IMO etc, tho even I can't take Bukem from around 1997 onwards) but Conrad is so hard to listen to now. That weird mid Atlantic thing he had going on.

 

[droid]

Conrad is shit. He ruined the western. Only jungle MC really worth a look in is GQ.

 

[craner]

It's alright, was just trying to wind Luke up.

 

[HMGovt’s Glorious Return!]

Surprise contender

 

[luka]

lol it was too obvious, nice try though.

droid youre opinion is mental and ignores speccy navigator, flinty badman and deman rocker, det, 5-0,remadee, shabba d and stevie hyper d. gq is not even top division, strictly lower ranks,a game, semi-pro grafter

 

[luka]

at the time my favourite was navigator and i dont see any need to revise that opinion.

 

[droid]

Yeah, thats the layman's take on things. The cognescenti all rate GQ.

 

[luka]

Lol, alright I'll give you that one. Can you compile a list of 12 essential 80s UK dancehall clashes and give links to audio pls I'm teying to fill gaps in my education. Can you hand in your homework before Saturday pls

 

[droid]

Do they have to be on youtube?

 

[luka]

No

 

[luka]

But I'd like to have some way of hearing them or the whole exercise is academic

1. Saxon vs Ghettotone.

 

[luka]

I posted a link to that in this thread earlier today
So not including that, as wonderful as it is

He was great, very good host on One in the Jungle too. Personable. He was the MC for the Freestylers too, right?
