@NicholasBoyd I’ve not heard the track, maybe I should, but would the same cross genre critique apply to, say, Kenny Dope or DJ Spinna, both of whom also excel at house AND hip hop?
@eli1ah 1/ I see the good intent in what you're saying broadly but there are many ways to "live easy"
2/ It's never been easier to live in a large number of small cultural niches v small number of large ones
aka in the 80s you had to dig hard to avoid terrible big pop/rock mass acts
@djoblig@Plastician@Skepta Something I only appreciated later: everyone has a music “day 0”
They discover new music from that day on.
But they also discover everything made before on that day too.
It’s just that, that day is different for everyone.
So “intensive…” is simultaneously new & a classic
@AnthonyTeasdale I love this track but I really think every generation that has a seminal year needs to leave themselves open to the optimistic idea that subsequent younger generations will also have incredible musical years, perhaps in different ways.
