He collaborated with well known nice guy Dappy and his Cousin Tulisa.

Fair enough. I did a lot of sneaking into bars in the 70's and 80's so I know what you're saying but the music was miles better then anyway.

Can't see Tinchy getting listened to much in 40 years time somehow

Exactly. 40 years ago (1977) we had the start of punk/new wave, the peak of Disco, songs that still get played on the radio today.

Documentary last week on BBC 4 about the making of the Blondie album, "Parallel Lines", in 1978, track after track of classics.

A bit depressing for me listening to this lightweight musical blather (and Number 1)...no wonder modern youths have the attention spans of gnats

More telling, it might explain why they're so eager to reach for knives and guns....after a quick listen to Stormzy or one of the other 'musicians', I'd want to arm myself knowing I'll get found out at some point!

Harsh. God save the Queen is in there!

Also I hadn't heard this for a while >

I wonder if it could be overdubbed with rapping about hoes and bitches - can I do it on my PC? Could be a smash

Never stopped David Guetta and Calvin Harris making multi millions!

I'd rather listen to Tinchy Stryder than Queen or Status Quo.

Think I'd rather overhear the Queen herself having it off with Philip than have to endure Queen or Status Quo.

In fairness, this song is 8 years old, and it's target audience was teenagers. It was made at a time when labels were convinced grime/UK rap was about to take off and seemingly threw a lot of time and effort into mediocre acts.

UK rap and grime have improved massively in recent years, though someone who can't enjoy hip hop on any level probably still wouldn't appreciate it.

I'm not knocking the quoted track, it's alright, there was a lot of that sort of stuff about then...don't mind a bit of Queen or Quo either..each to their own..

Not quite sure where to begin with that question. There's an assumption about my capacity to appreciate, even understand, certain forms of music regardless of genre.

My interest in Black music goes back to the very early 1960s. Since then I've witnessed changes of styles, many based on production values based on new technology.

I must admit to not being a massive fan of hiphop/rap, but it's lazy to imagine that I can't enjoy/appreciate specific hiphop/rap tracks or acts even though I have a less than impressed appreciation of the genre. As meaningful as music is in my life (note I mentioned music per se, as I enjoy various types of music although not every style) I try not to put it in the category of the most important things that matter in life, like hunger, poverty, or homelessness. This helps to offer a little balance for which I'm forever mindful, but please don't interpret that as me stating that music, or art in general, isn't important, because it is.

I've probably forgotten more about Black music (almost all derived from American influences) than most of my peers. That's not a vainglorious claim, but mostly a reflection of the amount of music I've either listened to for over 55 years, continue to listen to, or collect. I don't group all Black music together even though I know this lazy grouping tends to be what some people seem to think makes sense. In which case I can't wait to see their Shirley Bassey collections!

Fast forwarding to Grime/UK rap, as much as I support local artists who attempt to produce original generic music, there's often been a preference to emulate their American counterparts, and a lot of the time it's this very emulation that has revealed that mimicry is no substitute for quality writing skills, let alone creativity that has it's own stamp. Now, what is called Grime has developed, it's had to, otherwise it would have been labelled with the tag one trick pony. Personally, even with this obvious development, it's a style that still doesn't 'speak' to me.

The suggestion that because I don't like a specific style of music I can't appreciate it is a bit like suggesting that a film critic is incapable of criticising horror films simply because it's not their preference. The ability to appreciate is about far more than whether someone is drawn towards a style of music, it's mostly to do with whether a track manages to capture the attention of the listened to the point where they wish to own it. It's no more complicated than that. I have a few hip hop albums, no more, mostly because there's just so much more music that grabs my attention. I like a few things by the Wu Tang Clan, there's obvious creativity going on in their music that I have no problem listening to. Whereas, and here I'm singling out a specific track to illustrate a point, something like Schooly D's, "Pussy Ain't Nothing But Meat On The Bone", is where my interest in hip hop/rap faded as the obsession with misogyny, bling, and guns bored me to tears. There were other forms of music that managed to deliver music that I found far more rewarding. And that's remained the case to this day.

Bottom line is, to each their own. None of this, what you or I like or prefer, is a life or death matter. I know plenty of people whose tastes in music don't mirror my own, does any of this matter? Of course not.

Perhaps it was a generalised statement which wasn't aimed in your direction, therefore no question was truly posed?

(I wish work wasn't so boring that I didn't have to resort to such tomfoolery)

If my quote hadn't been included in the post in question, #47, you'd be correct. As it stands you're not. Now back to work, your country needs you!

Cheers for the essay in response to my "question" - I haven't had chance to read it yet, but I'm sure it's very insightful!


Three points to make though:


As someone else has helpfully pointed out: no it's not a question.

Also, the "presumption" which you seem to have taken umbrage to...

...isnt aimed at you, it's aimed at "people who don't enjoy hip hop on any level". You can tell, because it says it right there.

Finally, there's no need to defend your taste in music (or whatever that big red essay was about). My post wasn't a aimed at anyone - i only referenced 2 posts criticising the track to make my own point about the song and it's reflection on current UK rap and grime.


I can only assume you've taken a mundane tiff we had on the forum a little while ago to heart, and just assumed I was attacking you.

-5 for assumption.

I rarely do 'tiff's' as you quaintly refer to them.

Forgive me for offering an interpretation, but by the inclusion of my comment it seems, at best, a tad odd that you would argue that I'd not consider it a reply to the inclusion of what you chose to include. If I included a comment of yours I'd make sure it was there for a reason, comprende? And as I pointed out to the other poster, the fact that you included my comment etc etc.

I'm sorry if writing at length seems to be something you hadn't expected, I wasn't aware there was an economic scale at work on here regarding replies? I wasn't defending my taste in music either, that's such an odd assumption to make. It's just music, not a belief system, so no need for me to defend anything.

Your memory seems more piqued than mine, I can't recall what you refer to as a previous mundane tiff, good thing you can recall though.

Thanks for your response.
