(BIG H, BIG TV AND LIL NASTY)
TODAY I REMEMBERED, REVISITED AND WAS REMINDED OF THREE WONDERS OF MODERN ENGLISH MEDIA.
FIRST IS BIG H. DESPITE H'S LOW PREVALENCE IN TODAY'S SCENE HE IS STILL ONE OF MY FAVOURITE EMCEES TO 'TOUCH MIC'.
I HEARD FROM THE GOSPEL OF YOUTUBE COMMENTS THAT HE IS CURRENTLY IN PRISON WHICH WOULD EXPLAIN HIS ABSENCE.
THE WHEELS HAVE BEEN ABUNDANT AND INCESSANT!
THE NEXT REVELATION OF THE DAY CAME IN THE FORM OF SKINS THIRD SERIES. I FEEL LIKE A 17-YEAR OLD, PSYCHOLOGY STUDENT WITH A MYSPACE PAGE FOR BLOGGING THIS BUT, SKINS, A PROGRAM I HAVE EXPRESSED EXPLICIT DISLIKE FOR, AND POMPOUS SUPERIORITY OF TASTE TO, IN THE PAST TOTALLY, UNEXPECTEDLY AND SEMI-BEGRUDGINGLY IMPRESSED ME.
I THOUGHT THAT THE ACTING WAS LARGELY IMPROVED AS WELL AS, WHAT YOU COULD TELL OF, THE CHARACTERS. MOST OF ALL THOUGH I WAS IMPRESSED BY THE LEVEL OF HUMOUR BECAUSE UN-LIKE PREVIOUS EPISODES AND SERIES' CRINGE-AT-NOT-WITH JOKES, I FOUND MY SELF LAUGHING OUT LOUD. NO IND-I-R.
I'LL DEFINATELY BE LOCKED IN NEXT WEEK EVEN IF IT DOES MAKE A ME FEEL OLD, AT NINETEEN.
FINALLY IS LIL NARST, NOT AN ARTIST FORGOTTEN BY ME OR DISTANCED FROM DAILY ROTATIONS, BUT A SONG ON PARTICULAR. IN GRIME SESSIONS OF RECENT TIMES I HADN'T THOUGHT TO OPEN THIS ONE UP UNTIL RONSEAL AT BNTL POSTED THAT DTA VIDEO, FEATURING THE SAME RUDEKID MASTERPIECE. INFACT I THINK I RATE THE INSTRUMENTAL EVEN HIGHER THAN THE BARS.
WHILE IN THE PROVERBIAL GREENGATE OF YOUTUBE, I DISCOVERED A RECORDING, PREVIOUSLY UNHEARD, FROM THE SAME MIXTAPE (HUNGRY SEASON) BUT FEATURING, EXCLUSIVELY, BARS A LA SHOCKERS. THIS IS FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF PENITENTIARY WALLS, THROUGH A PHONE WIRE.
"NOTHINGS GOT BARS LIKE ME BUT JAIL", OR SHOCKERS AS THE VIDEO ABOVE BOASTS.
ONE.
