to be fair potter payper was probably the best rapper of the road rap era.

I've got a lot of time for desperately disadvantaged white Londoners making rap music. People whose lives have been horrible. In and out of prison. Friends and family murdered. I think they're often really good at it. I don't think America produces these people probably because it's too racially segregated.

This is oddly mesmeric:

This is my favourite thing of his. K-Koke's are you alone fam is fantastic. There's some Benny Banks bits that hit the spot.

 

[sadmanbarty]

If we can find another two songs to pit against each other I'm fascinated to see if the two camps will be replicated or if new alliances will be formed

i'm recon blissblog would break from our ranks and pick pulse x and me and you'd pick creeper.

Shook Ones vs. Protect Ya Neck

this is actaully pretty close to feel for you vs ain't nobody.

the differing sense of proportions. the way they relate or don't to archetypal spaces. the sense or not of being grounded. the wryness and the absence of it.

feel for you very clearly being protect ya neck, shook ones being ain't nobody.

 

[craner]

Hmm, interesting, I prefer Shook Ones.

 

[Corpsey]

Also Shook Ones is mainly just a loop (albeit the best one ever) and Protect Ya Neck is tricky, full of ideas, pelting along, great harmonica solo.

the problem with white rap is it all sounds like something that someone's written for a school talent show. some idealistic teacher's managed to coax a wayward kid with anger management problems to express himself through rap.

Apart from Vanilla Ice, Turtle Rap, which is pure energy and charisma.

some perspective: only five people have voted for each tune. hardly a statistically valid representative sampling of dissensus, never mind the world at large.

That's not always true. It's true in lots of cases. I don't think it's true of k koke or potter payper or benny banks. It's very true of professor green ocean wisdom slow Thai and a million other people. Depends what environment they grew up in

 

[sadmanbarty]

Hmm, interesting, I prefer Shook Ones.

for the same reasons you prefer ain't nobody

Don't be ridiculous. We can justifiably extrapolate from that sample.

 

[Corpsey]

That is interesting though, the different modes of expression of angst.

Being "allowed" to express it, maybe.

 

[sadmanbarty]

shook ones is lion music.

Are you mad?
