Did anybody else hear Skepta sending for Wiley at the end of Logan's show? or was it just my imagination?

that was a great show i've gotta say - an hour (or whatever it was) of skepta interview sounded a bit much but it was pretty deep, and funny, and revealing - maybe because he was so drunk. really recommend the listen again function for this one.
i am still quite literally lmao at his mum texting in to say he had to stop sending for other mcs.
skepta sending for wiley as well... !!

Joke send?

nah it wasn't a joke. but i dunno how serious it was either. wil posted a thread on rwd saying 'skepta's good, but come on, i'm still the king around here, skepta's not on my level' or something like that.. skepta disagreed.
i dunno if anything will come of it.. it might've been just the drink talking. skepta told me last week he really just wants to focus on promoting his album, not warring, right now. but y'know, you can take the grime mc out of the lyrical war, but you can't take the lyrical war... etc
though there's nothing like a bit of warring to help promote the album
not sure what the length is (i edited mine down so its just the live set) but its one of the best sets ive heard. big crew sets are good but when you have a smaller number or just *one* (superb) mc on his own, its more cohesive. anyway, its from the 3rd sep 06.
excellent interview with trim at blackdown...
B: What’s the 12 Monkeys theme about on the artwork?
T: The film was not used the right way, they never had 12 real goonbags. Ha. I think that the 12 monkeys that represent the circle that are gonna be here when I’ve left. And I’m not saying “left” as in getting a record deal I’m saying if I don’t get a record deal by the end of this year, I’m leaving and I’m gonna make sure these people have got a better chance than I have.
B: You’re gonna leave MCing?
T: Yeah I’m not gonna force it too much just do these mixtapes, start another project, get onto it by the end of the year and then by January if I haven’t heard anything, I’m outty.
B: You can’t leave Trim!
T: I can’t leave? Watch me! Wiley said he was leaving, he came back. I’m not Wiley, I’m not gonna come back. So these labels better fix up, look sharp. Holler at a boy because I’m willing to work. I got the words. The scene better not let me leave, I want to get a record deal.

Wicked interview.
Wiley on RWD - 'this aint about me or ghetto, its about me and skepta and i know in my heart that wiley vs skepta aint skepta vs ghetto i wont let skepta get away with a quick victory'

Though I was weirded out that he didn't know what cocoa butter was. God god man, we'd all look like tortoises without it!
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 cliff is dead... ?
weird also that he says "He was a reggae artist, well I don’t know if he was… he was on…" and then tails off...

yeah I asked about that before when I was doing the review for The Wire -
Maybe it's biological vs social parents...
be interesting to know.

yeah that's the obvious answer, but still doesn't answer the questions posed by contradictory stuff trim says e.g. "he ain't famous" b/w "Bruv you gotta do your history. He was a reggae artist" - or the fact that lee van cliff is apparently dead...
blackdown, when you asked "is he gone?" is that what you meant?

such an interesting interview.. first proper trim feature I've seen.
I love him trying to describe his work process, how he writes and stuff - it's almost like he doesn't understand how deep he is. Or he does, but he can't articulate it in normal converastion, outside of rhyme. Something like that..
