'Cos it’s better.
I do have a theory about why East Coast hip hop had a broader appeal in the UK though. In the early days anyway. I think it’s linked to climate, lack of car culture, amongst other things.
I also fell very much in love with the more laidback style of hip hop pioneered by the likes of De La Soul etc. So that really resonated with me.
they were so fun too, rewatching the videos and smiling so much at how weird and funny they are.
My favourite BB lyric
Pass me the scalpel, I’ll make an incision I’ll cut off the part of your brain that does the bitching Put it in formaldehyde and put it in the shelf And you can show it to your friends and say “that’s my old self”
Always my go to in any discussion about best tv performances (with also Wolf Like Me on Letterman). Sheer power of it.
it’s such a great track
fuck yeah
Their videos are amazing. The Criterion collection put out a compilation of all of them that I used to watch all the time in the pre YouTube days. Used to cheer me up every time I felt a bit down. Basically introduced the world to Spike Jonze too
absurd amount of time to wait for a song to start in a music video
Second only to Windowlicker.
Love the Ghostbusters proton pack!
Since the thread started and I worked my way to Ill Communication, I haven’t really listened to much else. Bloody hell, it’s even better than I remember! Should have gone with a 5.
I have the Criterion 2 dvd set. It’s fantastic.
Also the “Awesome… I Shot That” Live DVD cements how classic the debut was and is a great watch.
Very, very good.
God bless their children
EVERYBODY OUT
Shut it down. Everything is ruined.
