those are the proverbial exceptions that prove the rule. Yes there are a number of white rappers who are successful. But there are successful black rock stars too, that doesn't make rock n roll anything but white dominated these days does it?

There's no chance that it's a firendly journo who likes your night trying to build the scene by giving it exposure? When I worked for a community paper in Wellignton, I did a lot of promotion of stuff I liked and went to by putting it in the "pick of the week" box in the events listings.

I guess that's partly true, but the culture of hip hop has changed almost as much as the music has. It used to be all about the aprty and now it's about a million different things. It's all about cred init? White people are hidden in hip hop because it will destroy the image, despite the fact...

Shows how much I get out then doesn't it! I should go digging in some crates.

Apparently he was brought to Nz by a right wing think tank a while back: http://publicaddress.net/default,hardnews.sm

Isn't that like saying that you'd rather drink piss that eat shit?

So why is that shit still so hard to buy here?

You could argue, and I will for the sake of it, that hip hop has changed far more than rock did before it was replaced (rock has changed a lot too, but not so much while it was the key black music). Early hip hop sounds almost nothing like crunk does. But more to the point white people haven't...

Here. Pretty terrible article actually and you can still barelyever find grime in the shops in Melbourne but it was on page 5 of the Sunday paper, which is fairly prominent for a sound with next to no local influence.

Abbie says it'll grow on me and I'm sure she's right, but right now... I'm not sure. She looks fine but I liked crazy Kelis too.

I listen to music almost entirely on my ipod or in my car. I listen on my ipod on the way too and from work and in the car on th weekends and evenings. Probably about ... 6-10 hours a week these days. Sometimes I listen to music on the stereo but usually when my partner is out. I make it out at...

Well I got this yesterday and I'm pretty impressed actually. It's a good soldi mix with lots of classics. There's a track missing off the t/l on the back however. What's track no. 15?

Huh. I looked for it there just the other day. I'll stop by on my way home tonight.

Really? Where did you see it? Although, my firend's fairly mainstream hip hop show on PBS got sent a promo of the roll deep album.

I'm a bit disappointed there's no version of eskimo on there...

Is there extra MCing from Roll Deep on it?

:eek: Gone already...

I was thinking of the sort of dixie land jazz stuff that has been played note for note the same for ever. Northern soul is sort oft he same idea. It was an allusion to a conversation on here about uk hip hop a while back.

I just read this as 'wierd muslims in london'...

I've been thinkign about my ost a bit today. I was probably a little 'red and caps' if you know what I mean. The DnB bashing on here is a pet peeve of mine, despite the fact that I have nest to no involvement int he scene these days. That's fair enough. I always wanted more ragga old school...
