Oh bloody hell that's funny. I nearly choked on a biscuit.
Me too: sandwich.
That is fucking HILARIOUS.

again I don't really see what you're trying to argue here.
i think hes got a point, either all of its wrong or none of it is.
yeah so i wasnt entirely comfortable with playing it either, we talked about it beforehand and i'd planned to my own radio edit but didnt make the time. i wouldnt play it in a club like that either.
likewise ufo over easy if we assume hypothetically you're white and tactics is black that changes the nature of his argument according to your line of thinking.
is monday one of the best days for dubstep releases ever? just look at boomkats front page...
I'm arguing nothing. it's you who has an argument- you weighed in with the happy assertion that tactics was talking "bollocks", since when you've underread every post contributed and tried to drag the discussion to the absolutes you are comfortable with.
as a dj you are an ambassador for the music you play, and what is under consideration is where people representing a culture they do not belong to feel the disconnect.
fokse vektaire xeven said:what i meant was- and this may be a surprise to you- not all black people are comfortable with the incessant use of the word nigga. making the hypothetical assumption above- it's easy for you to blithely assert that there's no problem as the word has had positive connotations within the black community for years because you've never heard it said to you in anger.
UFO over easy said:also UFO if i remember rightly the last show of yours you posted up had Smif n Wessun's Bucktown as one of the first tunes, which includes the line,
"kill a batty bwoy/ and take your lover for hostage"
me said:I'm not really getting into a debate about what's acceptable or not really, I listen to plenty of music made by people with pretty questionable values, but it's just a flawed comparison
before I try and answer you maybe I could suggest you try getting out of bed on the right side before the next time we talk to each other? maybe try not reading every throw away one liner so literally.. I really have tried to read all the posts properly but maybe it would've helped if Tactics was slightly clearer in his original post.. I'm not sure you've been exactly crystal either.
enjoying that new ikonika single on hyperdub, loving the "plasticness" of it.
Kode 9 b2b Plastician at next DMZ? I wonder how that works.
Distance b2b Goth-Trad though - that's a match made in heaven.
i reckon that works well both cross between dubstep and grime.
hmm.. not really anymore.. plastician's almost exclusively a dubstep dj now.
And a pretty unprogressive or imaginative one at that. When I saw him at DMZ last he came like Now That's What I Call Dubstep (with complimentary Cha Vocal).
this is spam but i have a new autonomic computing mix up. lots of unreleased and new things from skull disco, hessle, punch drunk, hyperdub, etc. it's here.
