Go sit on the naughty step and think about what you've just said. If you criticise Kate Tempest, she puts you in one of her poems and you start wondering why you can't sleep at night and why there isn't anything more to your life.

dentalplan Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 To be fair if he had the idea that liking hip hop was liking his music then he deserved exactly that response. Still I couldn't imagine not lying in that situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still I couldn't imagine not lying in that situation. exactly, he was making out as if if you liked hip-hop you must like him. I had drunk a few beers by then so the filter was definitely off, hence the brutal honesty . As jyoung said though I'm sure he got over it. If it'd happened to me I would find it very funny and wouldn't be able to avoid a wry smile. Getting back on topic though, this Mercury list is worst than most. Pretty shocked that none of Laura Marling, Slowdive, Kelly Lee Owens or IDLES are on there. Definitely fancy Sampha to win though, that record seemed to be universally loved.

jyoung Posted July 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Have they ever released a longlist of artists whose records were submitted for consideration? I'd love to see the 200 odd they have to choose from. That's when we could really start pointing the finger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradders Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Last year was a poor list because there weren't many good candidates, they have no excuse this year though. Slowdive, Joe Goddard, Bonobo and Kelly Lee Owens deserve to be on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan R Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Don't band's have to pay to get nominated? Maybe most band's see it as fairly irrelevant so don't bother, can't say I blame them if it is the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't find it irrelevant when it gets moved to the Mercury Music Prize section at the front/on the homepage of the store.

Amy Lawn Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Soz lads but why do people care so much about the Mercury Prize at all? Is it because it turns up at the time of year when nobody else is making lists and we all thirsty motherfuckers for lists? Is it because we wish it was like the Juno Prize or SAY Award where you listen to the full list of nominees and they're by and large a well curated list of varied releases many of which you wouldn't otherwise have paid attention to? Just a bunch of London old media hacks trying to look trendy innit? Sometimes it's nice when Young Fathers or Anthony & The Johnsons get a big fat wedge of cash, but other than that who gives a fuck?
