Back in 1997, real Hip-Hop heads were listening to “The War Report” by Capone-N-Noreaga or “I Got Next” by KRS-One, but unbeknownst to them, bubbling under these credible releases was a sleeping giant. Who’d have thought that instead of making the likes of Royal Flush, Killarmy, or Artifacts […]
It’s a weird time that we’re in right now. As a civilisation we’re supposed to learn from past mistakes, we’re supposed to act differently from our forefathers and yet everywhere I look I see the same old bullshit; racism, sexism, homophobia, it’s all alive and well, and on […]
Erecting a huge bonfire and burning an effigy seems so morbid and backward that it’s surprising Guy Fawkes Night (or Bonfire Night as it’s also known) is still celebrated in the 21st Century. I assume that most people are too busy chomping on a toffee apple as they […]
It’s October 21st 2015, the date that Doc Brown, Marty McFly, and Jennifer Parker travelled to in the the classic time-travelling sequel Back To The Future Part II. But looking around at the real 2015, our present is very different from the predicted; there’s no flying cars, there’s […]
Migos, a three-piece Hip-Pop group who sound like a Future-slash-Twista knock-off, became popular after their novelty track “Versace” went viral a few years back. This was followed by a remix featuring the overrated Drake and a handful of mixtapes, but today their first studio album “Yung Rich Nation” […]
For the past year or so the mainstream has been going hell for leather to bring back the nineties, and whereas the underground has referenced the early 1990’s for quite some time, the masses have only just caught up. Like anything that becomes popular, this aesthetic is now […]
It’s really irritating when you discover that a film which has been widely praised and critically acclaimed is in fact a disappointment. Case in point “It Follows”, a supernatural Horror movie about a murderous spirit which begins to follow you after you’ve had sex, like a game of […]
School is your first step in the dehumanisation process of life. Just as you’re at your most imaginative, creative, and open-minded, they cart you off to some cloaked prison to suck that free-thinking out of you. You learn from the State-controlled modules, you read from the State-approved textbooks; […]
Work is where we spend most of our lives and since our Governments are hell-bent in decreasing the length of our retirement, it’s not unreasonable to want a job that is pleasurable as well as profitable. In reality however, most of us find ourselves in a situation which […]
If you judge the E! Channel by its programming, you can assume that their entire viewership consists of lame Reality TV-loving, Royal Family-grovelling, celebrity-obsessed, plastic surgery fiends. Thanks to the shows on this channel, the viewers at home have begun to respect falseness; you don’t need talent, you […]
There’s plenty of great music out there, as long as you’re willing to search for it, but when the masses are left to choose, we usually end up with the dregs of society becoming famous. That brings me neatly to the novelty song… novelty songs are usually “one […]
Was there any discernible difference between Thatcher, Major, Blair, Brown, or Cameron? So what makes you think that our next Prime Minister will be any different? The Conservatives are inherently right-wing, and UKIP even more so, but the last time we voted for a left-wing Labour Leader he […]
It’s pretty obvious that these days the majority of Hip-Hop is geared towards the middle class. Case in point; Kendrick Lamar. Search for Lamar’s latest album online and you’ll get results from pompous mags and papers like GQ, The Guardian, Time, NME, and of course everybody’s favourite interlopers; […]
