    hip-hop, where to begin?

    Nice one. Enjoying this A LOT.... Also liking Kool Keith's sci-fi homages and Wu-Tang's Kung Fu dialogue. Yes, I would like to try your wu-tang style! Public Enemy shines out too.

    hip-hop, where to begin?

    Nah I'm just fast, I'd already downloaded stuff and listened to it when I picked out those faves. Since then the flow has increased a little so I'm just working my way through it nice an easy. Amazing selection of music, I have to admit that I'd heard some of it before, though (and I'm not...

    hip-hop, where to begin?

    As a newbie to this forum I can see that there are some things I'm going to need to learn a whole lot more about. I've already ordered a book on Badiou so that just leaves hip-hop. ;) Can anyone suggest ONE track I should listen to to get me started.... I'm hoping that a few of you will...

    The GAY rapper/HIPHOP question

    Interesting, sounds true. But. I'm not sure I can buy that most homophobic lyrics are about anal rape in prison but I agree it is an interesting context. I can certainly see how experiences of prison might influence your attitude to homosexuality but isn't that only if you mistake "rape as an...

    The GAY rapper/HIPHOP question

    Sen on, 2003? But you're probably right, if it's over the top we shouldn't take it seriously, such overt bigotry has to be a knowing satire. Right? Appologies for not seeing previous discussions, and if I'm going over old ground, it's new to me.

    The GAY rapper/HIPHOP question

    Try "faggot correction".. Good point Baboon. I was trying to suggest that it's too easy to put the bigotry down to "cultural" i.e. racial differences. I was also wondering whether the fact that sexual posturing makes up a big part of mainstream hip-hop makes it harder for a would be gay...

    The GAY rapper/HIPHOP question

    What about Caushun. He was widely touted as the first black gay rapper a few years ago, don't know much of his work but he was out and proud and probably loud. The homophobia/rap debate often ascribes represive sexual attitudes to black musicians via the often cited, rarely explained or proven...

    Movies from stills

    Recent posts about Patrick keiller and Chris Marker http://www.dissensus.com/showthread.php?t=2376, have made me think about films made from still images. As a photographer I've often wondered how far the idea could be taken and when, recently, I was asked to make some sequences of images for a...

    Armando Ianucci's The Thick of It

    I was lucky enough to get to photograph behind the scenes while they were filming the first Thick of its and knew straightaway it would be very funny. During breaks in filming the crew would sit around reading the script with tears of laughter running down their cheeks. It's almost all filmed in...

    I believe the high concept for that photo shoot was: Q:What is Tina eating? A:Young men for breakfast, and a cat.
