That song got me into Killer Mike. R.A.P. Music is one of my favourite albums. “Anywhere But Here” and “Untitled” have got such serious bass that they make me want to install a massive fucking subwoofer in my car and see how high I can bunny hop on the M6. ---

It’s a brilliant album, innit? I don’t always agree with him but he gives you a bit to chew over; a thoughtful opinion. And then he gives you Run The Jewels, which is some of the best party music. ---

He’s a dude. Saw RTJ at Glastonbury this year. KM told the crowd to go wild, but specifically told the blokes that if they tried to use this to touch up the ladies, he’d be after them. It was perfect. As to the qualities of that album, it avoids most of the tropes associated with the genre. It’s an album of short stories, basically. from the hilarious JoJo’s Chillin’ to the historical Reagan to the disappointment of having Atlanta’s officials, a majority black constitution in a majority black US city, still manages to preside over a city in which black people are disproportionately killed in “Anywhere But Here”. ---

Every so often a song really captures the mood or says everything I want to say. This does it for me right now - not great lyrics just simple, angry, apposite. “Stop asking musicians what they think” He said softly as he poured himself a second drink And outside, the world slipped over the brink We all thought we had nothing to lose That we could trust in crossed fingers and horseshoes That everything would work out, no matter what we choose The first time it was a tragedy The second time is a farce Outside it’s 1933 so I’m hitting the bar But I don’t know what’s going on anymore The world outside is burning with a brand new light But it isn’t one that makes me feel warm Don’t go mistaking your house burning down for the dawn Don’t go mistaking your house burning down for the dawn If I was of the greatest generation I’d be pissed Surveying the world that I built slipping back into this I’d be screaming at my grandkids: “We already did this” Be suspicious of simple answers That shit’s for fascists and maybe teenagers You can’t fix the world if all you have is a hammer The first time it was a tragedy The second time is a farce Outside it’s 1933 so I’m hitting the bar But I don’t know what’s going on anymore The world outside is burning with a brand new light But it isn’t one that makes me feel warm Don’t go mistaking your house burning down for the dawn Don’t go mistaking your house burning down for the dawn For the dawn Aren’t you ashamed of this? I surely hope that you are We live in a society that’s maybe heading for Mars But down here we still have a shower of bastards leading the charge Outside it’s 1933 so I’m hitting the bar But I don’t know what’s going on anymore The world outside is burning with a brand new light But it isn’t one that makes me feel warm Don’t go mistaking your house burning down for the dawn Don’t go mistaking your house burning down for the dawn Don’t go mistaking your house burning down for the dawn Don’t go mistaking your house burning down for the dawn [spoiler]Frank Turner, 1933.

Yep good lad
on a more optimistic note
 History’s been leaning on me lately I can feel the future breathing down my neck And all the things I thought were true When I was young, and you were too Turned out to be broken And I don’t know what comes next In a world that has decided That it’s going to lose its mind Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind They’ve started raising walls around the world now Like hackles raised upon a cornered cat On the borders, in our heads Between things that can and can’t be said We’ve stopped talking to each other And there’s something wrong with that So before you go out searching Don’t decide what you will find Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind You should know you’re not alone And trouble comes, and trouble goes How this ends, no one knows So hold

I like the sentiment here, but something about it feels odd coming from the guy that argued the BNP were “Hard-Left”. Probably just me being petty like. ---
