never heard that tune you're a bellend message boards are generally just done aren't they? it's hardly unique to dissensus

people who like music vs people who like themselves

the moran scrap was similar to many others, in that the initial criticism she faced was, all things considered, pretty measured. it snowballed following her reluctance to engage with that critcism and with the community of people affected by her piece, the closing of ranks and the disgusting...

haha right on man, get a job e/y! take your ideas about how to treat people with respect back to university where they belong! extremist!

when you write about things that are outside of your direct experience, and you are called out by those you are writing about (for? on behalf of?), it doesn't seem like it should be a big deal to hold your hands up and engage with those responses without having a tantrum. the policing of...

"Right I've got a really proud important announcement from next Wednesday night / Thursday morning 1-3am I have got my very own weekly show on Rinse FM - To be on station with DJs such a Redlight , Bicep , T Williams , Roska , Plastician etc is a huge look for me and Im gonna be flying the 02:31...

i think that's the crux of it, different cities in different phases. i definitely agree that most of the parties i'd want to go to in london are small. it's been a while since there have been regular, small parties (that push a specific musical vibe anyway) with loyal crowds which haven't relied...

that wasnt supposed to be combative, just meant give it some time and contribute where you can if you want it to happen i reckon it could easily work well and doesnt make much sense to me to write off the possibility after one weird sounding rave

House has been a london scene for over 20 years Plenty of stuff I'm sad not to be able to go to in London week in week out. Going to the same spots you were going to five years ago and expecting them to have the same vibe though is setting yourself up for disappointment. No reason a jackin...

yep, sorry - my post was overly flippant - really just an excuse to post that video because i thought it was interesting to come across a piece of cultural criticism like that from that time period which addresses some of these same issues

"annual sales of rap music exceed 700 million dollars!"

i don't think that's o/t at all seeing as we've been talking about authenticity and 50 cent has said his piece from 4 mins - "once you become part of the machinery of an advanced technological capitalism questions of authenticity become totally stupid and meaningless, because it's not...

i dont think this is necessarily true, it seems to me that it's one aspect of something quite complicated. in any case, journalists and writers don't occupy the privileged position that they once did, everyone has a voice, comments threads and so on the a&rs capitalised and monetised something...

i think their following is diverse enough to make that question a weird one. they get coverage all over the place too. immediate example just from this forum, corpsey reviews these guys for the wire. look at the vast list of places noz writes for? big artists don't make their money off the...

trap rap is already "populist", and lex luger has had multi-page spreads written about him in the new york times - http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/06/magazine/lex-luger-hip-hop-beat-maker.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 the only point that i'm making is that there is a dialogue - even if it's a...

me too, but its not exactly a marginal difference in those facebook numbers. baauer, flosstradamus etc are like the biggest names in this kind of sound and they have under 100,000 likes each. the internet fan-base of pretty much any vaguely established major label rapper dwarfs them both...

gucci mane has been a major label artist for years. he wears huge diamond chains in the shape of bart simpson and an ice cream cone. bauuer topped the billboard 100 thanks to youtube videos including 30 seconds of his music and which don't mention his name. he is still playing (relatively)...

i think its more complicated than you're all making out there's that mad decent trap video where the trapaholics dude is hanging out with flosstradamus and co stuff like this - i don't buy the 'internet vs real life' thing either. new hip hop is internet music too. youtube, mixtapes etc...

youre acknowledging that there's a connection but it should get left out of the 'history books' because you're not into it? so many layers of authenticity to get to grips with. 2013 is very complicated

bit more than a new lease of life, its a whole other thing http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1550092/baauers-harlem-shake-tops-hot-100-for-second-week
