Heyyy I might actually buy this A nice break from torturing myself with the western canon

same goes for Goodie Mob actually, and other Dungeon Family stuff

people absolutely revere them don't they perhaps that's a stumbling point for me obviously in school days 'ms jackson', 'hey ya'... etc. were massive still love this one but in terms of their more straight rap stuff ('aquenimi' 'atliens') i'm an ignoramus

Good point - they've never really clicked for me I don't dislike them or think they're overrated I just have never been particularly hooked by them

all the boring predictable answers

Rogan's latest guest is some (presumed) d-bag who writes for 'The Spectator'. Sure he'll have Farage or someone on soon. Although now I'm thinking about it I probably should check out one of his Alex Jones episodes.

Yesterday, it being a tundra out there, I decided to hide out for a few hours in the Curzon soho to watch 'Shape of Water' Problem 1: ticket was 16 quid - but fine Problem 2: the screen (screen 3) was tiny... but fine Problem 3: noticed some people chatting during trailers - not a problem, but...

I think there's always that potential because (as my mate Satan said): 'The mind is its own place and in itself, can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven' But like luka said I think people don't do these things 'properly' - they take acid in a field somewhere or under a bridge while also...

good points, well made - i'll watch it, then i liked the one they did about road rap presented by mike skinner - had some great poverty porn in it

edit: I was wary of watching those VICE videos cos I heard they were basically poverty porn for hipsters Skim-read a lonnnng profile of Donald Glover (Childish Gambino) in the NYer just a few days ago. (His TV show is set in and called 'Atlanta'.)

it is bizarre, really, when i consider how abstract all these cities are to me new york is either a 90s rap video or a postcard atlanta isn't even somewhere i can PICTURE LA - the wealthy hollywood hills of curb your enthusiasm, high schools where skateboarders jump down stairsets, compton...

I wonder if the shift of dominance in rap from New York to Atlanta might be partially explained by this 'mecca' aspect and New York's enforced gentrification? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Americans_in_New_York_City In a news item of April 3, 2006, however, the New York Times noted...
