That's the point. You guys are annoyed at Muggs for strawmanning the book, which he does. But those who read repeater are not rap heads. This is what makes barty's intervension so funny. He's using techniques which are seen as inauthentic by rap journalist standards.
Im gonna read it when I can spend an evening laughing my bollocks off. That's what I owe to barty. But not right now when I'm going through a hard time.

Cool to see this one crop up in the book, a fave of mine. Alkaline's 2 verses on this are insane, described in the book as "rabies-spluttering liquid silicone into your ears." Nice contrast with Mavado as well.

Muggs can structure arguments as well. It's just that you don't agree with the arguments he's formulating (neither do I really.) Id expect you to be more mature with regards to Joe's shortcomings, of which there are many.
From a rap journo perspective, his tumblr post is correct. Thats my point.
But who is saying all writing has to be respectful, deferent? That's my disagreement with Joe. That barty is engaging in an act of creative misrecognition. His strength is precisely that he's some disrespectful new labour wanker who is trying to drag his audience kicking and screaming to abandon Gilbert's putrified nonsense. That's the strength! Joe is still obsessed with Corbyn. I'm not. Let it go mate! It's ancient history now!
Yes. Honestly the only good thing Blair did was abolish clause 4. Liberating. We don't even have to pretend labour is even a remotely socialist party now.

The only people who ever believed that were socialists.
Yes, agreed. But my intellectual culture is not British. Too much methodism in britain, not enough Marxism. You even turn religion so wimpy that there's no need for anticlericalism. pathetic.

Of course there'd be no music, but that would come as a big relief to your neighbours.
I'm not British craner. Brits don't have music. What's the problem?

This tune sounded around 1000 times better after reading neon screams, and I liked it well enough before

Don't put yourself out Corpsey.
classic, but how is that neon screams territory? I like that era of Kartel as well but that's very much in the 00s dancehall lineage.
