your post reads like a bitter flash back/utter afterthought of bad school days.

its 1984 and you've just started school after an atrocious summer hols in Benidorm.

You have the gross misfortune of witnessing some sort of shower scene, which you've yet to fully recover from.

Was it the too cool for school, yet stylistically redundant merok who did this to you? you certainly come across as having some bitter resentment towards them.

i don't think i'll ever understand why so many of you feel it necessary to personally attack music, and the makers of it, with such hatred. it really doesn't bother me if you don't like something, but to come out in public and start using words like "utter cunts" and "complete wankers" is overblown in a disgusting way.

these live dates are going to blow you all away

you probably weren't good enough then.

a good album

brilliant single

"through formulation of verses and the chitter chatter lyrics"

i don't buy a word of this.

have you even listened to the music or are you making some sort of snap judgment based on prejudice formed through her appearance in mass media?

if you were to spend 6/7 minutes visiting her myspace and listening to the two songs up there, you'd find an artists singing about personal loss, mental health and topics relating to euthanasia. hardly the stuff of kate nash/lily allen.

yes you can accuse her of being unoriginal and not pushing boundaries, (you could even call her shit, that would just be your opinion and wouldn't bother me in the slightest,) but comparing her to lily allen, just because she's a female singer songwriter and has come about after her, is plain lazy.

i see far more joni mitchell references than lily allen or kate nash.

ripping off lily allen?

mine would look pretty similar

I love the way there is a group of posters on DiS who are always making pertinent remarks about the ways of the music industry.

thanks ever so much for sharing your insider knowledge, it really shines a light on the murky dealings of the music business.

horrible news.

it looks great

radio stations pay bands and their publishers to play their songs, not the other way around.

the whole old thing is a really lame argument to hold against someone when judging new bands.

but...

ox eagle lion man are well worth seeing live. they might not be the finished product but they are fascinating to watch, both as a band constantly growing and improving as a real talent but also as great entertainers.

with sean. this is one of the best songs of the year. she's a real special talent, songwriting as well as voice wise.

i think you've summed yourself up with that line. very clever.

???

ever.

i'm sure most people will be too busy seeing youthmovies somewhere but for anyone thinking about coming, i'm sure we're in for a near religious experience.

i think this is totally brilliant.

i can see what youre getting at, but my sentiment lies on the other side of the line from you: its uplifts me rather than depressing me and makes me believe rather become jealous.

then again maybe thats because im young and naive.

please step forward and make you opinion known.

overhaul. done up all nice now. great soundsystem etc.

we agree on somethings.

asking DiS to (currently) review hip hop is akin to asking my butcher to sell me fruit and veg. i love DiS for what it does: great indie reviews. what it does not do is provide a broad and educated selection of hip hop reviews. if you develop into a website that does both, wonderful, if not, no problem really, we can go elsewhere.

as a rapper, the claim that he is the lamest for some time is ludicrous. im not saying he's a hero when it comes to MCing but the state of hip hop in the mainstream dictates that he is actually a saving grace. i try to judge him by the 3 brilliant albums he has delivered us as a 'complete' hip hop artist (mcing + production,) rather than his over the top egomaniac act.

DiS very rarely produce decent Hip-Hop reviews.

But a review is a review, someone's opinion, and this is an indie/rock website so I can forgive all that, but...

Whoever said that Kanye was the lamest commercial rapper in hip hops recent past is INSANE@!*&£^@)($&@£$????

he might not be the most progressive producer/rapper when put next to the left field but he practically stands alone in mainstream rap as an icon for progressiveness. from his early production (already mentioned by Larsen,) through to all 3 of his albums he's managed to do something that not only has inspiring beats (made by himself,) but manages to lyrially tear himself away from the violence and gang culture that has SWAMPED mainstream hip hop for the past 2 decades.

the guy can occasionally act like an arsehole but he's a genius compared to nearly all mainstream hip hop artists around at the moment. he might not be as lyrically talented as jay-z/nas/the game and his beats might not have been as widely praised as timbaland/dr. dre but as far as hip hop artists who produce and rap for the vast majority of their own albums, he really does stand alone.

when does essien score?

one of the greatest tracks ive ever listened to. its on nearly all the mix tapes i make.

article

slightly strong language, no? is there anything wrong with 'plugging the same damned songs around london for years now?"

isn't that what bands/artists are meant to do?

if you don't like the music, fair enough, have your say, but to murder the boy's character based on a pretty weak knowledge of who he is, is pathetic.

.

they'll be banning them because other festivals will have exclusive deals on the acts. by saying its under 18's only, they can get round this. well i think thats the reasons.

its wonderful. all of it.

all so nasty to each other?
"oh i like this band"
"haha. what an idiot, they're shit"
"well you gave this band 9/10, and they're shit"

why not:

"oh i like this band"
*hmmm i hate that band, i might insult them about it, or i might just leave them be and write something nice about something/body i like"

sold out. mistake with website, i think.

remember.

prinzhorn dance school don't have a myspace

'brilliant.'

shame about the review. not that i could do much better.

i like this song. the fact that you don't, isn't a problem. the fact that this review is badly thought out, is.

this is too weird...

my last two summers have been spent dreaming about having a cricket team and soundsystem called CRICKETCORE.

you can only be on the cricket team if you're on the soundsystem team.

so you could be.

slow left arm bowler and tail end bats man
but also selecta/engineer.

anyway. you didn't need to know this.

very glad to see it reviewed here.

i needed someone to say something like this, just to return my sanity.

im not alone. thank god.

please tell me this is some perverse joke based around the cliché that supposed free thinking indie kids think Jurassic 5 are the be all and end all of hip hop?

Because if it isn’t then you are either seriously misguided/misinformed.

Triumph for the mighty Lex Records. I have so much love for Lex.
