Slide all over the beat like butter on toast / Say your best bar and you wouldn't come close



Hmmmmnnnnnnn...333 last night...

Biggest disappointment in a long time. Way too many wastemen on the stage. Bossman obviously didn't turn up because of his curfew. The only guys from Meridian who touched mic were Skepta and President T. It was good to see Wiley there, but he kept having to pass the mic to waste MCs who hogged the mic all night and left good MCs standing at the back. Even Scorcher only got to spit about twice.

Skepta got singalongs for all of his bars - massive response. Tempa T also got big reloads for his "SSSWWWWWWIIIIIINNNNGGGGGGGGGGG" bars, but he needs to come up with some new ones too. I was speaking to him earlier in the night and he seems a lot more mentally stable than his lyrics suggest. Bearman's PA got A.I.R. Flow Dan's face was an absolute picture during the whole performance of 'Brown Bear Picnic'.

When I left just before 3am, the night had descended into about three MCs shouting "ride punani, ride punani, ride punani ride" to a bemused crowd.

What do you think the chances are of Stamina Boy and All in One turning up and hogging the mic all night again at the next event?

I'm definitely not going again unless I get in for free.

yeah i agree- way too many waste MCs. if it had've just been flo-dan, wiley, skepta it would have been a far better night. by about 3 a.m,it was a bit of joke how bad the remaining MCs were.

What a waste of £5. No Wiley Showcase, No Meridian (apart from Skepta) too many unknown MCs. If you've done all your best bars and got no response go home and write some new ones

it was a sort of sit back and watch thing for me tho

perhaps next time we could employ you to manage the stage and banish the swag mc's into the burial pit... I'm sure you're more than able with all your mouth cuzzie. Me, I'll be shocking out to Chaka Khan in the main room.

yeah chantelle i can see how it'd be difficult to stop the waste MCs getting on stage- my comment wasn't meant as a criticism for you for putting on the night, just a criticism of the swag MCs that kept getting the mic over and over. thanks for putting on the night- overall i think it was good. big up yrself etc.

John said...

yeah, I'd be up for up that stilllll.

I'll bring me sheriff's badge next time and if anyone is too swag, i'll "reach for the baseball bat, SSSWWWIIINNNGGGGGG" them off the stage.

ll said...

the more MC's the better in my opinion, as long as they pass the mic quickly.

ll said...

^^^ it's true, everyone's shook of slu dem. plus jammer backs them which is why they get brought in everywhere.

no they shouldnt u silly morons! whoever is booked should go on stage whoever isnt should pay to get in and view like everyone else.
same like fuckin sidewinder every swag cunt and their dog is allowed on stage to ruin the event - promoters need 2 grow some balls and stop thinkin they r gonna get the mash put to their left ear if they say on ya bike. shook mugs.

slew dem can be good on the radio though. especially when some of the youngers are on. it's like a return to how grime was a few years ago in some ways- lyrically a bit shit but really fast and noisy and energetic.

kronik IS shit tho.

John said...

i like chronic's "leng a man down" bars.

he's improving.

Tom Lea said...

I like the recent slew dem radio stuff. chronic isn't that bad, and tempa t was my favourite mc in the world for about two minutes. I actually like the bars where he shrieks BAP! or something in a really high pitched voice more than the swiiiiiiiiiing ones.

Alex Bok Bok said...

the swiiiiiiiiiiing thing is fucking shit, but i recon together them lot can some good things
like their productions as well
i think yr all being too harsh, and im not saying that cos ive got a gun to my head neither

Tom Lea said...

"jammer backs them cos he knows that if he doesnt, kronik will pull his dreads out from his skull one at a time"

jammer was having a go on a Roll Deep rinse slot in Jan when slew dem werent there about how people could only MC if roll deep said and so forth..and then was having a go about having to pass the mic to slew dem on the next show, until chronic said he'd deaddle his dreddles. serious.

Jammer seems too happy go lucky for that sort of thing, poor bloke :(

Alex Bok Bok said...

slew dem on recent roll deep show:
"NOONE MCS UNLESS *WE* SAY"
....

John said...
