Could manage passed three minutes of that Muggs thing. Was there a punchline at the end?

Trim’s got an amazing way of pronouncing “ask” like its written “aks” or “azk”.

lol. hopefully no one thinks trim invented this all by himself or that hes the only one who says this. if you know anyone from a caribbean background its pretty normal.

I had a nightmare last night which involved trying ineffectually to rebut criticisms under a review I'd done on Fact's website.

It was a bit like one of those dreams where you haven't revised for a big exam.

haha

A response to one of the worst music articles I've read in recent times coutesy moi: http://substance.tv/blog/2012/05/pop-crimes-the-worst-music-writing-you-will-ever-read/

rosamund urwin's pithy column in the standard always gives me choked rage-lols, great for taking your mind off the rush hour crush

I thought this was a joke article when I read.

"Look!

Grime MCing isn’t that profitable. It’s pretty risky too. It is however, all about peer group visibility."

wow, I thought he was annoying based on his writing, hearing him speak takes it to another level. how much coke is he on?

You don't think grime's primary currency is reputation?

the headset mic is a merciless invention, every breath rendered in 3D

fame is: not being able to check dissensus for fear of the opprobrium

 

[Benny Bunter]

I wouldn't worry about it too much, i don't think Dissensus is all that bad for flaming music journalists. Apart from the Muggs thing but he thoroughly deserved it (see video above for proof). generally people are quite nice I think.

joe muggs.

lool.

Not at all. I just thought that as an elaboration on "Look!", it was a bit much.

I couldn't manage 2 minutes of that Joe Muggs video.

Also, I hardly think Blackdowns blog is deserving as having the most links in this thread.

Can't watch the Joe Muggs thing as I'm at work. Whassitallabout?
