life is short though. We all need filters to screen out the noise
does it say anything in particular/give any original insights do you think - it didn't to me, but that might well be due to my cloth ears?
Original insights is the key thing about what you just mentioned. No it doesn't give any original insights, it's saying the same thing that pre-Sex Pistols punks were challenging - the notion that there's a hard underbelly to the society that we live in that causes a lot of struggle and disfunction. However, as each generation is born, the music changes and that message is lost. The majority of teens are not going back and listening to Vic Godard and the Subway Sect. If you look at the sort of music most teens listen to these days, there's no real or serious political or cultural messaging behind it. So when a UK artist comes along and speaks to several generations over a fifteen year period about struggles faced in an inner city upbringing that will influence and educate a lot of people around the country. Get them thinking and asking questions about their role in this society. I'd listen to Kano over Nicky Minaj and Katy Perry every day of the week. It's real conversation rather than a money-making machine shovelling rubbish down the ear canals of our youngsters. I've just asked one of them. He said he's seen Mr Kano in the supermarket he works in - so he must be a bit of a 'face' for him to be recognised. My son says that this song isn't one of his popular ones, but that he's thought of as a top-notch 'old school rapper' (whatever that means) and is very popular |

No no no no no. It's utter trash Sounds a little unneccesary. Perhaps you are able to listen to other music you prefer. |

Or so the other one says |

I thought itwas okay, and I'm 51. I was into punk whenI was younger, and was lucky to see loads ofvtop bands like TheClash . At the time these bands were vilified in the press , yet are now considered to be icons. As someone else said, give me Kano over someof the mainstream s**te anyday.

He has been on some plan B stuff which is where I first heard him. I don't think john peel ever found his ears to much of a filter to his brain as he got older! |

I am 52 and was also into punk and still follow the Stranglers. I am afraid this sort of "music" is not for me bit my friends do say I am in a time warp of the late 70s and early 80s, so what do I know? LOL. However, respect to Kano for the Rovers clips in the video. Top man for that! |

Or so the other one says Your two seem on-point, EMP. I'm glad he's come back with material that connects with the next generation (fifteen years is a decent stint in anyone's books). He was focusing on a lot of other stuff for a while. Did anyone see the TV show 'Top Boy'? He was one of the main characters in that. |

As possibly the youngest person on this forum (22), I feel I should point out that this isn't rap, it's actually closer to grime.
For those looking for an education on this sub-genre of fast-paced commentary on the urban trials and tribulations of east London, I recommend that you seek the wisdom of Lethal Bizzle and Tempah T. Notably 'Leave it Yeah' from the former and 'Next Hype' from the latter respectively.

I remember being 22 once, mind you that was 40 years ago, I'm not sure I can add anything to this education lesson though, thank you, 'young man'  |
