    More MIA

    This sort of thing deeply offends Americans. They are a sensitive bunch you know.

    More MIA

    What amazes me about the video is the level with which it so calculatedly weaves together this decade's cultural imagery from the perspective of mainstream America, and then sexualizes it all. As a pop video, it's pretty devious. It makes you wonder whether MIA is not actually some...

    More MIA

    I'm honestly having a lot of trouble processing this new MIA video. I can't quite decide what I think about it. I wish there was more people on here weighing in. (I'm referring here to Bad Girls, not that shit Madonna one)

    Azealia Banks

    I can honestly say, and perhaps with a degree of shame, that I have not once thought twice about the lyrics, or even whether this song is a good song, because of how attracted I am to her.

    Batman is one of the main characters in the Superman story, "For The Man Who Has Everything", Superman Annual no. 11 (1985). You can find that, the annual you mentioned, The Killing Joke, and the other stories he did for DC collected in the trade "DC Universe: The Stories of Alan Moore." It...

    Should I Come Back To LONDON This Year?

    Oh and girls here are beautiful. That's a fact. Every single tourist I've ever had over here has commented on that without fail.

    Should I Come Back To LONDON This Year?

    The music scene is alright, but as I mentioned it tends to be a sort of follow-fashion type scene. If enough journalists blog about something, one of the hipster promoter companies will make it their focus for a stint and you'll get to see some acts come through, although they are historically...

    Should I Come Back To LONDON This Year?

    e/y is mostly accurate in what he said. Toronto is no means a city of the same stature as New York or London, despite being the biggest city in Canada. Nevertheless, it does enjoy a lot of the same kinds of things you'd find in those cities: a thriving arts scene, a great university, lots of...

    Should I Come Back To LONDON This Year?

    Yeah, I live in Toronto. If you have a British passport, I've heard it is relatively easy to get let in here. Commonwealth and all.

    Should I Come Back To LONDON This Year?

    I can wholeheartedly endorse Canada although your experience will vary dramatically depending on what city you go to and what you're like.

    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    Every second poster on grimeforum these days is banned. EDIT: though I'm starting to suspect all the banned people are the same guy. That's less funny, but still funny.

    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    You know Manga always has seemed like a pleasant guy, and he's a capable MC and all, but I'll never get over just how fucking irritating he is to me. I can't even really explain it, he just does my head in. He reminds me of the kids in school who were clever, and never used to get into fights...

    OFFiCiAL RiFF RAFF APPRECiATiON THREAD

    My problem with Riff Raff appreciation is that the only way it seems you can appreciate him is with ironic detachment. The second you get anywhere close to being in his orbit, you find yourself dealing with some very repulsive and uncomfortable issues which are perhaps not as apparent in the...

    Hip Hop '11

    Both the albums he put out this year in his Revenue Retrievin series: Overtime Shift and Graveyard Shift. Severely slept on. They are both brilliant.

    Listening to Blue Dream and Lean. I'm glad he got this out in time before the year end because now there can be no question that he won 2011.

    Dissensus Best of 2011 Discussion

    The best grime record of the year was Cherryade. That's my pick. It had a pretty label too. I also like that Wiley did a tune about Yonge St, even if it wasn't all that great.
