always liked the way this lurches around (as well as the gunshots and twangy spaghetti western guitar samples)
Cockney Thug is my dubstep guilty pleasure. Also Coki tunes work so much better in the dance than other wobbly/jump-up tracks
As shit as it is, Slimzee dropped Cockney Thug at FWD 10th birthday last year and I danced so fucking hard.
I think if a record makes you dance really fucking hard, then it isn't shit.
I dunno, correct me if I'm wrong on that one, but if it's a functional dance record, and you danced really hard, then it fulfils its purpose, therefore it isn't shit, eh?
It's just that you're embarrassed about having danced to it, and so you're saying it's shit to absolve yourself.
Which is just, y'know, not cool.
Cockney Thug is a great record. Deal with it.
It's got a lot of energy and its got a really fun bassline and loads of fun noises, its shit for being nothing more than that.
I'm not embarrassed that I've danced to it, you just want me to be embarrassed so you can take a some sort of high ground because you genuinely enjoy dancing to it. You want to claim the enjoyment of dancing to cockney thug.
It's just something I would regard as good, I wouldn't listen to it through because I genuinely appreciate the song. Its just a fun song when you're fucked.

Have you heard it loud in a club (jus asking)?
if a compilation of his best stuff was put together the breadth and imagination of it would surprise a lot of his critics
