just read reynolds post on funky and I really think his 'pro-cheese' stance has now gone from useful polemical stance against tastefulness to the point of snide caricature enabling him to disingenuously generalize about stuff
i mean half of the funky mixes he refers to are cheesy as hell in terms of lyrical content/cliched sounds and mc hosting, but seems like even that isn't cheesy enough for him lol
really does seem that increasingly either musically the 'hardcore continuum' is dead (as he often seems to claim) or as a conceptual framework its totally lost all traction on musical reality
i used to read him as gospel in relation to music but he seems to have lost the plot
e.g. literally the only thing compelling and relatively fresh about 'funky' musically is its rhythm, and thats the first thing he trashes. can this guy actually dance without the aid of his long distant memory of taking E
