Haan

3 or 4 ppl from my group (27-28 yr olds) are happy with it, for what it's worth

Gangsta Boo 💔

The N word debate will always be hugely contested. Akala has some brilliant takes on it, and like Akala I still listen to and love artists who use it all the time: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/924627867564167168.html

Local reporter is at the Lambeth council licensing meeting:

My and my groups first time going, I was so excited in the build up, up until I was almost at the entrance when my trolly broke. But that was the only downside. Tbh even that wasn't too bad, as it was only the steering that was effected. Kendrick was incredible, audibly gasped when the torches came on during N95. Little Simz was excellent, Olivia Rodrigo really surprised me, had some great late night fun at floating points, shygirl and some random DJ's. I never ended up spending much time at the Park so I'd like to for 2023.

Albums Billy Woods - Aethiopes Sudan Archives - Natural Brown Prom Queen Black Country, New Road - Ants from up here Kendrick Lamar - Mr Morale and the big steppers Jeshi - Universal Credit Honourable mentions: The Beths, Black Thought, JID, Beyonce, The Comet is Coming, Jockstrap, SAULT (11), MAVI, Open Mike Eagle, Kilo Kish Gigs Kendrick @ Glasto Little Simz @ Glasto Olivia Rodrigo @ Glasto Injury Reserve @ Pitchfork fest Gorillaz @ Primavera (weekend 1) Songs Pinkpantheress - Picture in my mind Kendrick Lamar - Father time Charli XCX - Used to know me BCNR - The place where he inserted the blade Rosalia - SAOKO

Yeah his album is great, it's sad that this is how most people are getting to know him- he's a new artist who definitely did not anticipate how big he had gotten when he announced the shows too. Selling out 3 days in Brixton off your debut album and you're not even a native? Huge.

what music? Asake makes pop/afrobeat???

Kendrick has shifted like 400k first week sales in the past (although that's probably more US), headlined Coachella, featured on songs with Taylor Swift, Drake, Beyonce etc, did a Marvel movie soundtrack and more. His most recent album wasn't massive but was still way bigger than Simz. Simz defo needs a couple of UK number one's before being considered. Dave is ahead of her in terms of rap acts I'd say. She's got a great live show, incredible albums but just needs more hits

could be with knxwledge as NxWorries, they're at Prima this year

The Roots plssss i am on my knees, West Holts sub/headliner

I'd love to see some DJ's get love, espeically JYOTI. I know Kenny Allstar curated a day in silver hayes and had a lot of cool uk rap, wouldn't mind seeing that again. Also went quite under the radar, but Riz Ahmed did a set this year, and he rarely does shows. A big get imo. Jeshi released a very cool album this year, I'd love to see him. Shygirl at 3am or whatever on IICON was incredible, wouldn't mind seeing her again. My wishlist is: Griselda, TDE (Ab-soul, Isaiah), JID, Smino, noname, bree runway, MIKE, Navy Blue, Madlib DJ set, NxWorries, Freddie Gibbs, Kenny Beats DJ set, & JME Grime MC FM

so true haha.

omg i would kill for this at glasto.. give me paak singing absolute filth over knxwledge beats!

LIL UGLY MANE?!?! ffs why does this have to be the same weekend, he is one of my fav underground artists.

London will always show up for Burna and Wizkid, there's a very strong afrobeats/afrofusion scene here. Wizkid was the first African artist to sell out the o2 I'm pretty sure

IN. going to try on Sunday for the rest of my group

RIP, had some very good verses and helped popularise the "triplet flow" which took over rap from like 2016. Great talent gone too soon.

Maybe not ice cube, didn't he post a bunch of weird anti semitic tweets during lockdown?

So many good suggestions, I'd love to see Obongjayar, Kilo Kish and Natalia Lafourcade.

Make fun of BTS once on twitter and you will have your answer

that season was so wild, so many very difficult themes about race (ep 9 made me feel v uncomfortable!). I enjoyed it a lot, it was very challenging. Wish there was more Vann tho!

Oh my god, hanging my head in shame. Can't believe I missed that
