the pillars of all music. the posts around which his aesthetic parameters are constructed.
well there are a few more pillars
i am embarrassed to admit that The Smiths "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" would be one
i played that "Tribute to 32 MCs" to an audience of twentysomething Germans a few weeks ago, i fear they were completely mystified - the fact that God's Gift is mimicing different MCs vocal licks was completely lost on them, even though i explained it carefully beforehand. must have just sounded like a black londoner making a series of silly noises.

the influnce of dj screw is bizarre and- on the surface at least- not particularly deserved.
reynolds told me there was some retrospective in the wire in 2006 which got everyone interested in it.
is vapourwave all just chopped and screwed smooth jazz and 80's pop songs?
cloud rap was screw-indebted i think
