Also, we'd sound like dogs.

Laughing out loud

I'm watching The MOBO Awards and I'm really getting pissed off. Everyone that comes up on stage is shouting "BIG UP WEMBLEY", "YEA YEA YEA", "YO YO YO" or some other type of hip-hop jargon. This is just plain absurd. And why do they get away with it? Ohhh cos they're black. And if that wasn't enough, a good handful of them "thank jesus/god/the lord" upon picking up their award. It really is utterly laughable. White people could not get away with this shit. And another thing - Why is it OK for there to be black rappers that are obese? Rick Waller is a laughing stock for being the weight he is, yet some random 25 stone black man comes on stage blubbering some hip hop lyrics, and he's "cool"? F**k off.

As Leevil implied, I am a big hip hop fan, but the groups I'm into will never be nominated for a MOBO award, so I never watch it. As for the whole fat thing, I think it's actually one of the great things about Hip Hop, that looks don't really matter. Actually, while I'm on the subject, it makes me sick, when I hear talentless nobodies, in the media, calling for legendary groups like the Rolling Stones, to retire, just because they've got wrinkly skin. If you're a true music fan, looks shouldn't matter. If Jimi Hendrix was still alive, would you refuse to go and see him live, just because he was old and fat?

Of course. Just look at all the fat ugly women they have cavorting in their videos. :)

Again, that's not the type of stuff I'm into. If there's one thing that makes underground Hip hop fans cringe, more than mainstream/gangsta rap music, it's mainstream/gangsta rap videos.

What?! What did I do now?

Just cos you love Elliot and he choose Robyn over you cause she has boobs.

Other reasons as well.

You're closer than Gavin.

Oh phew! Here was me thinking it was for silly reasons like being female...

With me?

Least of my concerns. :P

Laughing out loud I walked into that one...

Every Sunday at this time I get pissed off when BBC 6 plays Bob Dylan's radio show and my music is interrupted by an announcement that says I can't listen to it because I'm not in the UK. Angry

You'll have to move to a real country. ;)

Or at least sort yourself out with a proxy server.

The Dylan shows are repeats of his broadcasts from Sirius satellite radio and I think I've heard them all before, thanks to the free Sirius radios we got for supporting the launch and operations of their 3 satellites.

Guess I'll just throw some MP3s on the turntable for the time being.

The BBC should have an overseas subscriptions department.

Bugger. I've just made a serious point.

That's what I've been demanding for years! Probably not loudly enough...
