rustie's an outsider, he has that whole multicoloured crunked up too cool for school irony at a distance thing going on. as I said, I do like some of his stuff, but joker feels more authentic.. no gimmicks. I can imagine listening to gully brook lane in 20 years and smiling. I'm sorry if you find that offensive.
come one man. you're putting him down, downplaying his music, and for what. Stylistically its authentic as it needs to be and in sentiment its real too so whats to be cynical about? Because he's (possibly )middle class / art school, and wears loud clothes ? And on the same lines, Joker is more authentic because... ? If it's on pure music terms then cool, but it sounds like there's a social belief behind it.
Rustie hasn't made any moves to deserve the accusation that he lacks heart . In fact there's plenty of evidence to the countrary eg the pure fucking sickness of spliff dub remix. You can't fake inspiration and that tune is bursting with it.
There's plenty of reason to compare Rustie and Joker in positive terms. Both make colourful, vibrant music, which gets played in dubstep/grime circles, and gives us hope for the future of that music.
