You need to stop listening to Luka.
Hey can you finish your top 100 pls @CrowleyHead ??
Crowleyhead's top 100
These lists are great and @CrowleyHead commands a respect on here for his writing that is second to none. And of course we all wanna know his top tunes so we can make mix CDs out of them to impress people with. Is it gonna be mainly hip hop? I don't think so. He's a well rounded fella. Let's...

Have you read this book chapter about him, (by a former dissensian)
mitpress.mit.edu
I've gotg it as PDF somewhere, or you can get it via Ana.
But in it, actress talks about how he walks round south London looking at the floor and then finds a stone he likes the look of, and makes music based on it. Eg a streak of piss becomes a synth line, red gravel is light drums.
I wonder if you like it cos, like me, you spend time looking down when outdoors? But maybe you don't, I dunno

It seems like you could say that about any dance music that has come out of America and the UK in the last century plus (meaning going back to jazz and before) if it has some kind of funk and syncopation.
Yeah that's a fair point. I wouldn't necessarily bat for the book tbh. It's really thick academia. Some of it is interesting tho. He talks about juke in context of a literal other city in Chicago, with its own rules, infrastructure. From what little I've seen of American cities, they are way segregated in a way unthinkable in the uk
It's just interesting how he picked actress and what actress says. Actress is a flaneur. Just thought version might fancy a read if it really. But also just this eyes down thing.
Like Jonny banger, he likes pigeons, says you get sent one when you need one, and it means you are looking up, which is better than looking down.
But I look down now, and I suspect version does. And I think actress does too.
That's really all I'm saying.

Depends on what part of the city.
The thing is that black people do tend to be poorer (for obvious historical reasons) and poorer parts of a city tend to be the inner parts of a city, but, you'll still see different races walking around the same parts of any given city (except mainly for the most dangerous inner cities where you could get your ass beat for being white, unless you're with people that are known or there to meet people that are known)
But that also goes back to where even white people were segregating themselves from each other depending on what European country they immigrated from.
Of course there are also parts of big cities that have things like a "chinatown", and that's also often for some historical reasons.
my parents once started getting lost on the trains in a part of south chicago and an older black guy pulled them aside and was like "what the helll are you all doing here, let me get you out of here before something bad happens to you"
and one time i was driving in south chicago going to visit some friends, and i pulled over into a huge block tower/projects/tower complex parking lot, and after a couple of minutes a cop came up to me and said they were gonna have to get me outta there asap before something bad happens
I have a cousin that spent some time volunteering in the worst parts of baltimore and they were apparently so traumatized by it, they refused to watch the wire because it was too much for them.
