az is a very underated mc i think.
that deep barely lifting above the water depression and old man's voice in a kids body is really compelling.

mistersloane said:Yeah, that new track is Premiere at his best as well. There are like 500 comments about it on hiphopgame and pretty much everyone has rated it 5/5, impressive score.
New Nas is good n all, his voice sounds weird though, like maybe it's always been compressed before and this time they left it off. He sounds squeaky.

mistersloane said:Pretty much every London kid fromt he age of six to eighteen brought up in the inner city ends up speaking London Lingo, I see it as a way kids manage to cross-pollenate and break down racial divides very quickly. By forming a common language, it's automatically an 'us versus them' argument ( 'Why are you speaking like that?' say parents ). It's less put on than a form of survival, and is as authentic as any other form of language.
Hell SD, have you seen Kidulthood? That's how kids on buses speak here. It rocks, in my opinion.
HELL_SD said:replace jamaican with polynesian, then add in not only transplanted british colonial but US hiphop culture in much the same way as rock n roll spawned the reggae version to british jamaica in the 50's and then exported it back to blighty only throw in the accent as well due to media conditioning and fast forward fifty years to the other side of the planet and...
...BLAMMO
you get reggae talking patois without rasta values in london but ebonics in NZ and cross culturally across the youf of today as expressed in the sentiments of grime and hiphop complete with faux accents
while reggae may have been more important for the baby boomers and gen exers this new lot are a breed apart and in that respect with the globalising and standardising of monoculture we are all getting measured by the same young stick yet some oldies still delineate along the old lines cos new tricks are hard to teach old dogs and some dogs are best left sleeping...
...polynesians and jamaicans are not that far apart in values and love of reggae. I should know my lady and her mother along with my new outlaws are all patois speaking, regaae loving, domino playing, jerk chicken eating, rum punch drinking, ganja smoking white jamaican flakes but with a keen business sense and a good work ethic unlike me
i'm just a lazy pollywog who doesn't play well with others...
...and as for the music, i keep saying in this age of the global village no one owns it and it can spontaneously incubate and mutate in the blink of puter screen
i reckon i could just about prove that too...
...all I can say is thank fuck for dubstep cos sometimes words get in the way
bah it's late and I'm not sure if that made sense but hopefully you'll get the drift...
