weird that trim says both that "my parents are st lucian...they speak broken french" but then also says his dad is dancehall artist lee van cliff, who i've always presumed is jamaican. also cos as far as i was aware (could be wrong, this is information gleaned from a super cat lyric) lee van...

yeah, i should definitely have written that! no, but i'll keep an ear out... re: snapple, in that song it's either preceded or followed (can't remember) by a reference to how mr easy is drinking a roots drink - i'm guessing snapple, with its artificial colouring and flavouring, not to mention...

good knowledge, i had no idea about that - can feature an update on this one in the next set of ten commandments... well exactly, it didn't seem necessary to explain it - and i wasn't about to launch into a debate about the homophobia of dancehall artists in a 500 word piece. what should i...

only as far as i can trust that joker was telling the truth, LOL but yeah wiley had definitely heard and liked joker's beats more than two years ago - they met when riko was playing at heatwave in april 05. in fact riko even rhymed over joker's version of the pum pum riddim at that event...
