Ugly bad. Entertainment is painful to hear. The first time I heard "I Love A Man in a Uniform" I thought it was a joke, it's so sloppy and hamfisted in trying to convey a point the band probably thought was clever. Take that military dudes. Along with Mission of Burma this is one of the worst...

Chicago, luv it. Dig grime but mostly just hear the big things and misc. DJ mixes and radio clips that drift onto the net.

Heh, I wrote about this a month ago - "Bouncy rubber bass over grime clicks. Sounds like Wiley snuck into the studio and took over" - but didn't consciously make the connection. It's interesting to hear in mainstream rap, I wonder if it has any future there.

I have so many sarcastic responses, but none of them do justice. Dear Black People: We gave you the right to vote and that was a pretty big deal. But if you can't play better basketball, we're sending you back to the cotton fields. Sorry, but that's the way of the world. Yours truly, White...
