the white hip-hop canon

[luka]

but sometimes its ok just to chat from a position of a fellow human sufferer in a state of confusion imo

Got my trainers on right now so if you do want make the journey i will do

But I'm not just gonna sit idly by trying to take me for any dickhead outta road and I mean that

i can transfer you a tenner or so but im out this evening. send me your bank details. we can meet up on the weekend?

 

[forclosure]

i think its good that you and woops keep threatening catalog with extreme violence, i think its great and necessary

I mean right now my attitude is "I'm gonna do to you with one of those light stands in your flat what LL cool J did with a poolstick in In Top Deep and I don't care how homoerotic that sounds"

So please talk me down from doing some really extreme dumb shit

scratchy is/was a really underrated producer.

i cant decide between rick rubin and dj shadow who was the most influential white producer. id argue actually that without rubin (and larry smith, yes), that emphasis on hard drums in hip hop wouldnt have been there. but then shadow really brought much more of an authentic white identity to hip hop beats. which inspired a lot of other white producers to really search inside their white identities too.

im gonna propose chris stein, maybe not as far reaching as those two but definitely a white guy who popularised a hip hop sound in the very early days

Bob Power might also be worth a shout. Fun fact: Shadow is a big influence on how I play drums
