epic. Epic. EPIC.
"Surpassing the usual or ordinary, especially in scope or size"
Yeah that pretty much describes Wednesday night down at the Alibi. It was the kind of night that made me realise I have to get out of my house more; I'm not gonna lie, if I hadn't been due to spit, I probably wouldn't have reached. And I would have missed D Double, Hyper and Footsie MCing and Mak 10 and Spyro DJing, all at the same time.
Does it sound like a throwback? F**k yeah. Sick sick sick sick ssiicckkAAAAAAAA it was. Furthermore when I think about it I don't remember hearing a shit MC all night. And on a personal level, to be a part of something like that, an event like that, something people'll be talking about for a good while, is bloody brilliant. Yeah I know I sounded like Michael Owen or some other deadcake footballer just then, but I'm just telling the truth innit. Big up everyone who reached, everyone who spat, everyone who vibesed to GRIME. The scene can rarely have been in better nick if you ask me.
Here's some footage from the night:
You can also get the full audio from our set HERE. Epic shiznit.

Monday 26 July 2010
Back on the other side
Yeah.
Sat in work. Feel like the proverbial wrung dishcloth. I blame Esskay for adding an hour and a half to my bedtime with the tunes he showed me.
Flipping amazing grime. Big up you son.

So what now then? Well, as we enter another week, I'll start by asking whether anyone who was watching yesterday's German grand prix felt similarly short-changed by Ferrari's antics. Or maybe it was their post-race denial of any wrongdoing which ground your gears the most; it was like "yeah, you think you saw and heard a thinly-veiled team order but don't worry, it was all a dream racewatchers!"
....mug me off.
Another significant bit of news is this Wednesday you'll see me tearing it down at everyone's fave new grime night JUST JAM. JUST JAM.
JJJJJUUUUUSSSSSTTTTT JJJJJAAAAAMMMMM *plane crash-lands into Thames, Tower Bridge bursts into flames*
Yeah, if you're in the manor this Wednesday, you'll want to make sure you get down there if you're GRIME. Entry = £0.00!
Let's get this week kick-started then! *no more wrung dishcloth feeling*

New-fangled nonsense
I'm young but I ain't a whippersnapper, I'll tell you that for nothing.
And my sausage fingers couldn't be much less suitable for this swanky touchscreen malarky.
Still, it's probably for the best that I stopped being such a scared ostrich and finally pulled my head out of the sand technology-wise. Hi guys. S'not that bad here all things considered :)

*shakes head*
This really is a shame. Disgusting almost.
Any haters. Might even be a tinge of racism about it as well if you ask me.
It just goes to reiterate that you'll find badminded people in all walks of life.

A spot of lyrical exercise
Pretty much 3 weeks after we did this, here it is. BIG UP LEEMAN (watch for his CD on the roads soon) and BIG UP NICO. If you're grime or rap you'll enjoy this one, we went all out still. Gerriddinnnnnnnnnn

*shocked face*
Caught this story on the BBC London news yesterday evening and yeah.
Jaw-dropper.
What a f**king tosser, what. Kind of. Foolishnessisthis?
And it does kind of beg the question; do you intervene when someone's doing something slightly anti-social?
Personally things like people tapping beer bottles on benches doesn't particularly grind my gears, I'd just blow my vuvuzela at the offending bottle-tapper.
My question is, which one of you would intervene if you'd seen the guy smack the poor young lady in the face?

Three things...
ONE.
Are you being serious?
Isn't that the amount he should have been rewarded?
TWO.
Oh come on!!!!!!!!!!
OH! COME! ON!!!!!!!!!!! For f**k's sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE.

Look what the scum went and did now
As if the place isn't a hole already. Now they went and made this announcement which, should Arsenal emulate it, will quite possibly result in my becoming an avid Raymond van Barneveld follower instead of a Gooner. Say hello to Raymond van Barneveld by the way :D
...but I digress.
To be fair it's probably best that Tottenham Shitspur have taken that course of action anyway. The amount of hot air you get out of their fans, they'd probably raze their stadium to the ground blowing them anyway.

It's amazing
No no really it is.
Suddenly it's become wholly acceptable to bandy the N word about like it has no historical relevance.
Which N word? Numpty? Northampton?
.......Neutered?
No you noob (not that one either), THIS flipping N word.
While you're reading the definition of said word, I implore you to click on the word 'pejorative', brilliant word, telling definition. Also consider the sentence within said definition which reads "It is a common RACIAL SLUR."
Again, fairly telling.
......These times us idiot black folk (myself included until fairly recently) have been going around giving it all n*gga this and n*gga that, so much so that Justin fucking Bieber thinks it's okay to say of Giggs' album: "That n*gga's shit is hard!" Apparently this is okay because Usher says it's okay to use the word.
Cheers mate. Thanks a fucking bunch. Now we've got millions of white people all over the world laughing at us, saying "Those n*ggers are so fucking dumb they even call themselves n*ggers!"
*chortles disbelievingly to self*

Do me a favour and don't p*ss me off please. Thanks
I was watching the weather this morning on the Beeb, as you do, and just as I was reaching around the back of my telly to turn it off this....er....bundle of joy (let's have it right, where would the word "little" fit in the description) appeared on the screen to promote a debate which I fear will end in an absolute travesty of a governmental decision, much like those seen in Belgium and France. For those of you unsure of what I'm blathering on about, read this.
I think this latest piece of news is particularly worrying because, in a world where paranoia regarding Islam seems to be stoked up by the media, I struggle to see how a frenzy won't be whipped up here in Britain on the subject, and then it won't be about liberating Muslim women, but rather "stopping suicide bombers" or some such similar shite. Not to mention the fact that, as far as I'm aware, this is supposed to be a land where citizens are allowed freedom of movement, speech, thought and expression.
If you ask me, a clamour to ban the burqa in Britain can, and will, only result in the continuation of the type of fear and mistrust of other fellow human beings that led to events like slavery, apartheid, colonization, et bloody cetera.

Worthy.
Yes, very worthy indeed. I liked the original by that flavour of the moment, Tinie Tempah (kein Homo), and this is a very cool remix I must say. Check it out.
While I'm at it, get this in and all. Not many northern MCs do it for me, but this guy's pretty good at grime still. Listerrrrn.

This is so bad it's unbelieveable to be quite honest with you.

By the way.....
I MC. And I'm aware that there are those of you who weren't aware that I MC, but that's okay, I've been a little quiet for a little while. I didn't do much last year apart from this, and I'll be going into some detail about the reasons why on my next release, which you can preview here.
....I dunno I just wanted people to remember I MC innit, and I've been doing it for more than a minute. When I think about it, I'm slyly all over the gaff mate, I've been trying to step the pace up this year, and I've got more in store than a Netto warehouse bruv.
But let me not gas up the things, I'll just, you know, let the new stuff do that. All's I'll say is, I don't often hear people giving out tunes like this free of charge in the grime scene.
*and I wouldn't have had it not been for extenuating circumstances; if you know me ask me what I'm on about*
Just keep your eyes and minds open to my stuff please. You'll not regret it.

Banter
They say laughter's the best medicine, so if that's the case I reckon I vaccinated myself for the next 4 years last night playing poker. It's always nice to win some shekels off your mate while slaughtering him at the same time.
Always nice.
So as I sit here at my desk pretending to have a far deeper understanding of golf than I actually do, I'm moved to extol the glorious nature of a good bit of BANTER (also known as "bants"). Really good banter can have you burrowing into the corner of a sofa with tears running down your face, all the while struggling for air (like when Mum/Dad would bring out the wooden spoon many moons ago), and when we get together to play cards.....Boy. Bare pars bruv. Shots flying everywhere and that, trust me. How can a man say to another man "You look like a retired G.I. Joe" ubfget78347hy65irtnhjdrghiifdth
disfjgnwerth894608ue59ujhtrjhesr *does 360 spin in swivel chair cackling at the memory*
Oh my life. Wow. It's that laughter that almost paralyses your whole body when the banter starts, that's what it's all about I tell thee. I reckon I'm going to be in a good mood for days as a result. Can't beat bants.
Always nice.

*confused*
Correct me if I'm wrong right, but I'm sure one fox in Hackney went into somebody's gaff and had a go at two baby girls' faces?
That happened right?
So now I see THIS in the news just now. Yeah, so my initial reaction was "??????????????"
Half an hour later guess what I'm thinking. Correct. Same number of question marks and everything.
Imagine if the same creature you've now waded into the sea to rescue or whatever now comes to your gaff 4 months down the line and starts trying to go for your face? Kwasia sem!

GRIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I won't be there sadly, but there'll be more than enough lyrical artillery to make up for that tonight at JUST JAM. A word from Merky Ace:
MerkyACE http://twitpic.com/25696p - Just jam 2night. Free Entry. Be dere or be a wash man. #Grime
GRIME. ZAP. KAPOW. NNNEEEEEOOOOOOWWWWWWW *bombs explode, car bonnets fly into air*

F**king Formspring
Nah d'you know what that post title's a little misleading.
Because people aren't trying to beat Formspring, they're using it to transform themselves from scared little lambs into omnipotent behemoths. Judging by some of the bravery in some of the questions I get asked through Formspring anyway (think I'm exaggerating? Look then).
Now my question is: what's the point? Not "what's the point?" as in "what's the point?" yeah, but *stay with me, stay with me* more "You're not going to actually see my facial reaction when I read whatever BS you've written to me, so you're angling for a response you ain't even gonna see mate."
That sort of "what's the point" still. But don't get me wrong, I think Formspring is a relevant tool, and quite a fun one too. As you'll see, there ARE some questions on there which HAVE made me think a bit, and there ARE *i like repetition, just..stay with me* some questions which HAVE made me laugh a lot too. Meh, I guess like much in life Formspring = what you make it innit.
Just don't make it turn you from a pussio to a superhero, that's all I ask. Fin.

BAH.
Do you know what I would do if I was an Arsenal player on international duty and my fellow jubilant World Cup-winning team-mates from Barcelona tried to pull their club shirt over my head?
*hint: I wouldn't f**king do this > http://www.caughtoffside.com/2010/07/13/arsenal-skipper-cesc-fabregas-wears-barcelona-shirt-during-spain-celebration-pic-video/*

I could describe it in words but I know visual examples are the zeitgeist, so in light of that > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgtvwnCoX-Q&has_verified=1 < captures it perfectly, Beastie Boys soundtrack included. I mean WHAT A HARLOT! I'm sorry, I don't want to hear "oh well they forced it over his head" "there were two of them, he couldn't get away" "you can tell he was uncomfortable" NO, NO, NO, F**K OFF. Do you think any of the '04 Immortals would be seen dead in that rag? Think Nigel Winterburn or Martin Keown or even Jens flipping Lehmann would ever allow themselves to be pictured in Barcelona's colours while under contract at Arsenal? *wipes brow*
*goes to the window. Looks out. Mutters something intelligible under breath* *returns*
Look, it's a treacherous act, no two ways about it. To pose in the club colours of a club who've made no secret of the fact that they're chasing you, no matter how uncomfortable you may have felt, stinks of betrayal. I'll go on record now as saying if Cesc Slagbregas stays (and I very very very much hope he pisses off and we get 40-50 million quid) he'll have to single-handedly win Arsenal every trophy in sight before I even crack a smile at the mention of his name.
