Like the dissoloution of the magnificent seven so they shall mourn the implosion of the unofficial guttah garage webring.
(horse slopes into brokedown village - cloaked stranger addresses laid-back local):
Whatever happened to Sneaky Luke, the rake on Mare Street, the hotwired wag? Him gone vicious straight edge maaan, him the rat in Saddam bunker, me bredda. What about the rushing hyperactive prophet of NYC, the 'riginal NRG flasher, the blissed-out barbarian ol' Third Eye Reynolds. Him deep in guttah archives bredda, working on dna source of da retro formula. (sergio leone whistle-gust of wind). And whose asking? (sweeps off cape-gasps) Praise da almighty father it is, no it cant be, yes IT IS! TWANBOC you are alive. TWANBOC in all but name my fine fellow. (unfurls parchment-villagers gather around) and here is the latest missive from the guttah.
Spectacular intro but not much to report really. Dizzy Rascal has a new track in the racks, a charming little instrumental called "Hoe". Er where's the rapping Dizzy? Stick to what you do best. Talking of Dizzy, how many times have you heard mention of his sparring partner on "I love You"? That chick completely makes the song, undercutting DR's bluster (ever heard Project Pat's Chickenhead?), she's one terribly sexy lady. So who's she? Heard another Dizzy Track the other day, maybe its called "One Big Cycle" (now no cussing if its a Roll Deep ting!) Saw Dizzy in Uptown, me lurking at the back in a top hat and tails looking like a comedy toff. He's not so "buff" in my view. Surly and small. The tension over this tracks general release is beginning to take its toll on me. Soon all the beatniks will have a copy. I might even be able to have a conversation with someone about music without them looking lost and confused....
Rap tracks I like? Seen U B4 by JB is great. The production is just good enough for my ears not to bleed (hey I dont want Kenny Gee, but a likkle polish can help). More hard jackin linear riddims? Try baby pulse by youngster and 116, those clackety clack castanet 808s are just fine. A little sublo pressure for your delectation? Try the dutty firewire riddim.
As for the pirates, I'm a bit behind. Email Luke at Marajuana-Smokers Anonymous and pester him. His bredda Scoob is on the frontline so he blinking well out to know.
