Hard to compare with em though because he is quite poppy, funny with a load of killer hooks.

I remember real slim shady coming out when I was a kid and loving it then without understanding the meaning.

I’d compare Stormzy with more of maybe a pro green or a Macklemore but maybe I’m under estimating Stormzys fan base?

Jay z got a ton of shit for headlining, I remember one of the Gallaghers calling it out so Jay Z did a shitty cover of wonder wall to take the piss.

There’s definitely some racists in this thread finding issue with it. If Eminem headlined no one would bat an eyelid.

That is absolute bollux, and you should hang your head in shame, playing the racist card.
What gives you the right to judge fellow posters, just because they disagree with you.

Not touched s nerve. It’s just a load of bollux, just like you posted yesterday, but weren’t able to elaborate on it, and still can’t, it seems.

i don't like it, so I don't listen to it.

My formative music years were the 60s and 70s (Prog rock RULES!) but I also listen to early blues and especially Gershwin.

Like someone said earlier - will this (C)rap stuff be nostalgic music in 20/30+ years? I doubt it.

Let's just say that we've all turned into our parents.

:old: :old:

Rap, House and Grunge are 3 completely different genres?!? They are nothing alike and not all one and the same.

And yes there are some albums or tracks that are 20/30+ years from every one of those genres that are nostalgic.

Grime is the most recent sound of the ones you’ve named and similair to rap but it’s a very distinct sound. Not to my taste personally but the kids of today seem to like it.

Obviously because you weren’t able to.
What has Brexit got to do with this thread?

Do you think there is no racism and prejudice at all in the U.K.?

Judging by the comments in this:

there certainly is! Some pretty disgusting stuff on there. Personally I couldn't care less what colour he is but classic rap is still C-rap as far as I'm concerned.

Christ, some of those comments are horrific

Racism has always been prevalent in this country, being white we just don’t get to see a lot of it. If an equally qualified black person goes for a job, they’re 60% less likely to get an interview than the equivalent white person.

The rise of the far right and Trump/Brexit have given the worst members of society the confidence to be more open with it too.

This is why a british black guy headlining Glastonbury is a big deal.

And people who are complaining about it need to ask themselves why they weren’t so quick to moan about Ash or Mumford and Sons headlining.

Do you get a notification when I post a comment or something?

I've got the right to say whatever I like unless it breaks any rules, if you feel I have then report me. Otherwise actually offer something to this thread you weirdo

Of course there is. I’m only talking about this thread though. I haven’t seen one racist comment in it. Can you point out any to me ?

No I don’t get a notification. You’re not that important. But when you start accusing posters you’ve never met of being racist, without a shred of evidence, then I’ll pull you up on it.
Also the abusive names you’ve thrown my way over a topic on a MB seem needless.

There hasn’t been an outright racist comment in this thread but what does that have to do with anything?

Llandaff Blue has claimed there are racists posting in this thread. I’ve challenged his claim. You’ve then steamed in asking me if I don’t think there are any racists in the UK. You are taking this thread off on a different tangent. I’m only talking about this thread. Pretty simple really.

No that’s the tangent you’re leading it on saying why is everyone going on about race and why is it important.

It’s like pulling teeth with you. Answer this one question. Do you think there are any racists posting in this thread?

Ah abuse like weirdo because you continue to reply to whatever I write but add nothing to the discussion, how ever will you live.

You don’t have to meet someone to know they’re racist ffs, what sort of logic is that

I see you still can’t read.

There’s a reply to you about 2 comments up which answers your question, you even quoted it. Are you a windup?

I’m the one saying there’s racism here, not him. Why are you struggling?

I wouldn't call them outright racist but I think most people let subconscious racism affect their opinions and you can definitely see it in this thread.

Do I think people in this thread go around calling people the N word? No

Do I think people have a stronger opinion on this because it's a back guy? Yes
