[Football] UK Rappers at Lancing

[BeHereNow]

Fair play if this is a wind up, because that’s f*cking brilliant.

On the off hand this is serious though.

1) If you Listen to radio 1 you’d know they play a pretty eclectic mix of popular music. Hip-Hop, Indie Rock, Dance & Pop. Not my station of choice, but if it favours any genre of music it’s dance music; they have numerous shows dedicated entirely to dance music across the week.

2) There is no ‘Now That’s What I Call Music’ which is exclusively Hip-Hop/Grime. You have made this up. I don’t think there’s even a spin-off Grime version. Strange lie to make up.

3) They’re doing a pretty shit job of getting rid of British pop music if that’s what they’re trying to do. The charts are dominated by British pop acts, much more than there was a few years ago.

4) Talented musicians have always fell through the cracks. This is an absolute horseshit point. Even by your pretty low standards

5) Yet again, complete bollocks. The U.K. hip-hop scene has been building itself up for 2 decades with next to no help from traditional media. It’s only in the last few years where the genre has blown up to a point where it can’t be ignored thst R1/Now etc have started playing it more frequently. Artists were entirely supported by small independent platforms on YouTube for years before the mainstream media cared.

6) Still waiting for an example of gang culture music being pushed too. Maybe there’s a “Now that’s what I call cheffing opps” CD that I’m not aware of.

Maybe I’m expecting too much though. Your posts so far probably make more sense when you’re scrawling them in crayons in your parents basement.

Angry much? Can’t handle the truth?

1. Radio 1 barely plays what they call ‘Indie Rock’. Yes, there is a lot of dance crap and pop which also happen to have rap in them.

2. I said a CD, not the whole album, they normally have 3 CD’s.

3. Again, a lot of pop these days has a rap in there somewhere, songs that would’ve been good without it.

4. Yes, you’re right there, the point still stands about how ‘diverse’ the station is though. Think they had about 3 white bands on there the last time I checked.

5. Radio 1 is too London centric and we know that London isn’t exactly British these days. I love how the DJ’s on there, who would’ve loved a track from say The Killers or Kings of Leon a few years ago act as if they are excited about a song by Stomzy

6. I’m not saying gang warfare is being pushed.

Must admit I don’t really consider rap as music . I feel it is just for people that can talk fast but can’t hold a melody for a song . I also find often although not always rap seems to sound aggressive, with derogatory words about women and various swear words and other offensive words like the N word.

Not for me , I’d never let my kids listen to this sort of noise .

Akala calls out derogatory words about women in the video (1st rap) I posted

Akala on the N word

I think the people who are saying this are confusing UK rap with Drill (A genre Im not keen on myself). Like Ive said, UK rappers lyrically are very, very good, and tend not to rap about that sort off thing, some artists even rapping on the foolishness of it, and this is something which the USA has woken up to, and finds appealing.


.....oh, and in the first minute of Akala's rap.... '10 years no daytime radio'

I get a lot of people dont like rap... plenty of music I dont like, I have no idea what is appealing about rock music, dnb, and pop, it just doesnt appeal to me, but some of the reasons ive read here for not liking rap are embarrassing

To be honest, I have no idea what is being played on radio 1. I wouldn't have had a clue when I was a child as in my lifetime it's always been crap. But are you seriously trying to tell us that there is a conspiracy to suppress music by white artists? What's their endgame?

 

[daveinplzen]

Not threatened by a tune, I just think it’s a load of victim hood/make white people feel guilty bollocks. Like I said, it’s easy to see why the BBC push it and why it has got a global following now.

Not entirely sure white people were the intended first audience. Our history should make us feel a touch guilty, we have done some great things, and some ****ing awful things in the past. To push the great, and ignore the shite is disingenuous. What made you feel guilty particularly? If nothing, what are you ranting about?

 

[Bakero]

The old ‘let’s destroy our culture and heritage for a bit of good food’ argument.

So, a white man and a white woman being together isn’t modern? Why would they think diverse is better? Why do they need to show they are diverse?

Isn’t the black population something like 13%? It seems strange that the adverts massively over represent them.

I know what you mean but I don't think it's part of some evil scheme. They just think it'll sell. Where are the ads with the south Asian man and white woman? The white guy with the east Asian wife? The elderly lesbian couple?

mate, that c*nt believes in the Great Replacement theory, ofcourse he thinks there is a conspiracy. Likes to link to far right YT channels on here too. Not worth it.

Worth it if it makes him stop and think, which is unlikely I know. Better than leaving him to swim unchallenged in other murky corners of the internet.

I don’t think we should feel guilty about the country’s past, we ourselves didn’t do anything.

Yes, I think you’re right about it probably not being the intended audience, which is why it’s strange that it’s given such a big platform. The vast the majority of people will hate listening to that sort of stuff, unless you are very young and brainwashed into thinking you like it.

I agree. I also think there might be something behind it.

What could possibly be behind it other than companies wanting to make profit?

In what way is white British becoming a minority in the UK in about 40 years not a replacement?

I’m not far right at all, you would probably say I’m a liberal.

I'm not particularly young and wouldn't say I'm brainwashed, yet I thought Dave's performance at the Brits was amazing. [MENTION=37421]daveinplzen[/MENTION] certainly isn't young (no offence Dave) but he appreciated it. My girlfriend was very moved when she saw it.

They don’t want white people to breed with eachother and it’s working.

That might be hard to believe, but I genuinely think that’s what’s happening. It’s not just me that thinks it, more and more people are talking about it to me, in person, not on the internet.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Good Lord, what an absolute car crash of a thread. Even better / worse than I feared when I opened it in search of some entertaining ignorance and racism to pass the day under lockdown. But this offers so much more.

"Cancer"
The "fact" that whites will be in a minority in 2066 (clue, if it's happening in the future it can't be a fact...…)
"Wouldn't LET my kids listen to"
"Leftie BBC"

And then there's possibly the worst review of a Now CD I've ever read, right alongside the worst assessment of the UK music scene from someone under 30 I've ever read. Mate, you're being owned by dave (in Plitzn not the rapper), a near 60 year old.

Like [MENTION=17447]Bakero[/MENTION] I was hoping for bingo. I got so, so much more. Not least the crucial information that when we run out of tinfoil next there's no point in me looking for it anywhere in Southwick.

Well played everyone.

Why though is it problem? Why is the colour of someone's skin important?

I genuinely find it baffling.

Who doesn't want white people to breed? I'm not much of a breeder but that's through choice. Nobody's ever tried to stop my relations with white women.

Good for her, but it’s seems like that kind of thing and lefties go hand in hand for some reason.

For people who don’t want race to be an issue, they half go on about it a lot and they play on that identity. Well, the identity should be British, right? The older black gentlemen I’m friends with don’t use race, and surely race relations haven’t got worse?

I’m not going to write a song about being white.

I’m not sure laughing at the absolute bollocks you’ve posted counts as angry, but I’m happy to let you claim that if it makes you feel better.

1) They play nearly as much Indie Rock as they do U.K rap.

2) My point still stands, it doesn’t exist. I actually did you a favour and checked the track list for the last 10 Now albums. The most U.K. Hip-Hop songs any of them had was 5 songs on a 45 track collaboration. Again, it’s a weird lie to make up.

3) A lot of songs 5 years ago might have, but the ‘add a rap verse to a pop song’ trend died out ages ago. In the last few years British pop music has produced Lewis Capaldi, Dua Lipa, Anne Marie, Sam Fender, Dermot Kennedy etc etc. I can’t think of a single one of them doing a song with a rapper in. Again, you’ve made this point up.

4) The great thing about R1 is the fact that they put track lists up for all of their shows. So I’ve taken the liberty of going back a couple of weeks (Covid-19 has changed their programming and I didn’t want that to paint an unfair picture) and picking just 1 of their daily shows so we can check how many white bands are on there.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000gvvl

I see 14 white bands on that list, and that isn’t including Daft Punk as they’re robots, or EUROPA & The Chainsmokers who are both (white) DJ duos. In contrast there aren’t many British rappers on there at all. Funny that. It’s almost like they play the new releases & what’s in the charts rather than trying to manipulate the population in to listening to evil black music.

5) BBC is so London centric that they play all of that London rap music like Aitch, Jaykay & Slowthai who are 3 of their most played British rappers and who are from the London boroughs of Manchester, Birmingham & Northampton respectively.

6) I didn’t say you did ask why Gang Warfare is being pushed, I asked about Gang Culture. Which you did say. In fact your exact words were “It doesn’t take a genius to see why current rap music and it’s gang culture is being pushed...”

So I will continue to ask for proof that Gang Culture is being pushed. And I will again if it’s being pushed then why have the Met taken down hundreds of videos mentioning gang culture, banned people from releasing music or performing shows & why it’s banned from radio stations across the country?

I won’t hold my breath waiting for a sensible answer.

Well, that’s what I would like to know. Why are they doing this?

Plenty of videos on the subject that you could watch if you really wanted to know, but I don’t think you do, because you don’t believe it. Fair enough.

I love a good conspiracy theory... who is 'they'

The British went around the world 'conquering' people, those people became part off the British empire. The British invited the Windrush generation to the UK to do the work that British people didnt want to do. Most of the things you are alluding to, are a product of British actions... are the British 'they' ?

Also, I would love to see some of these videos you speak of, and verify their politics. and who their target audience is.
