That'd be sweet to have a copy ;-)<BR/><BR/>I agree about the yobs posing as "gangstas"--hopefully that trend will die soon...but prolly not--it's prolly still going on in the States--and has been for over 10 years now..ugh. Even Snoop did a "Wigger Out" skit on his short-lived phlegM-TeeVee comedy series--that's how ubiquitous the trend became.<BR/><BR/>I agree about the misogyny, too--that's mainly what I despise about "gangsta" shit--that and lame processed beats and tired subject matter (like misogyny and 'bustin' caps'...yawwwwwwwwn)<BR/><BR/>Also, if anyone thinks I'm only dissing Tories---Blair's "tough on crime" visit to a Bristol council estate this week seemed just as lame to me.The Purple Gooroohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01543217482152905385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28890376.post-1151091332667900142006-06-23T20:35:00.000+01:002006-06-23T20:35:00.000+01:00Great post! I'm afraid Mr. Cameron confused Radioh...Great post! I'm afraid Mr. Cameron confused Radiohead with Teach Yourself Shorthand! I didn't realise he was there the night we drunkenly played 'Fake Plastic Trees' but, yes Dave, it WAS for you...we called it 'Fake Plastic Disease' and that's what you are!<BR/><BR/>I heard about David 'Dave' Cameron's appearance on 'Desert Island Discs'...the song list looks horribly 'all things to all men to me'. Something dreamed up by Conservative Central Office.<BR/><BR/>Warning: 'Dave' may very well replace 'Tony' in No. 10. We have to take him seriously.<BR/><BR/>As far as 'Gangsta Wank' goes, he IS jumping on a bandwagon but I tend to agree with him. You only have to look at the posing pricks around these here parts to realise that A LOT of yobs think they are 50 Cent these days. Sure, credible artists like Chuck D need to be understood in some kind of context but these kids have no understanding of context. It's all straight down the line violence and misogony for them. Also, just because an artist is 'from The Ghetto, man' (NB Public Enemy and others like them are actually decidedly middle class) doesn't give them an excuse for their bullshit. If it's wrong for wankers like David Coverdale to 'dis' women ('Slide It In', anyone?) then it's wrong for them too.<BR/><BR/>As for Westwood. The idiot is way beneath contempt. No wonder someone tried to shoot him. Give me a gun and I'll do it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
