Good joke and everything, but you could have hidden the summary before screenprinting it.

100% tax?! I can see why she was fuming now.

Ketamine? Frosties for wankers.

You all missed the point, which is that all edgy spoken word stuff is the pits. Makes me shrivel up inside, stop rhyming things and write a fucking blog post that no one will read because it says nothing of any value.

Having said that, “Let them eat chaos” is about as bad a title for anything as I’ve ever heard.

Jesus, she doesn’t get any better does she?

For me this has nothing to do with gender, race, class or background it’s just the quality of the work which is terrible.

Don’t understand it at all.

However, there’s loads of artists that I don’t get at all so why the vitriol for this one person specifically?

My thoughts on the matter (as a fan) up-thread.

Twinkletoes:

No, not at all! I would probably have missed the Q&A otherwise, so glad for the link. Still really don't understand the level of ire directed towards her. I recall someone saying in a hip-hop thread on the old board that, if someone who loved rap but didn't like Illmatic, they'd tell that person they were listening to it wrong. That's kinda how I feel about Kate Tempest (not to the same degree obvs, but I do think she is brilliant lyrically). I just can't understand why there's such intense disl…

Think there is also sometimes something more nefarious going on where her ‘authenticity’ is questioned because she is a woman and went to a prestigious spoiler[/spoiler] performing arts school.

Reading back through the thread it seems that a load of adult men who read comic books consider her not authentic enough.
