corpsey keeps threatening to create a thread called 'white power' (and then bottling out of it) which would examine how we think of 'whiteness' in music and high focus would be an interesting case study.

Not a bad thing let me hastily say. I think without this being there at some point, or some other way of escalating your resistance to things you're not happy with then you can become a pushover, a doormat.This is what I know. Don’t ask me how I’m not sure
a philosophical and ethical resistance to glamour. a british interpretation of keeping it real.
it’s also deeply unsexual, unromantic. They might mention fingering or something. There’s one song on an album dedicated to a woman actually
I think BBCC are having a laugh because they are not encumbered with the weight of the 4 elements and keeping it real.
UK hip hop was always a sausage fest. I mean, same with drill and grime but at least desire or sex more accurately is acknowledged I guess.
it's the moral and intellectual seriousness of hip-hop that appeals to its fans though. there's no subsititue for that anywhere in music. even with this stuff. there's something eternal about it. it answers a community need.
The cosplaying and fantasy aspects you alluded to above in combination with a moral po-facedness reminds me almost exactly of let's just say.... a recently passed political development on the Left. It seems an exact analogy to me.
part of the reason we are fascinated and horrified by this stuff is that it's something that we could have almost liked, in another timeline, another universe, adjacent to this one. i think Corpsey would say the same. in fact all three of us could have formed a group and recorded for the label were circumstances ever so slightly different.
