When I first met John many full moons ago he forced me to rap and pushed me down a hill in a shopping trolley.
He used to rap then. I give out to him all the time for not rapping any more.
But now he's made "There Is A Policeman Inside All Our Heads, He Must Be Destroyed".
There's no rapping on it.
What does this mean?
John tells me about listening to the Tim Westwood show in his parent's car. You couldn't get the British Radio One anywhere else in Co. Clare in those days.
We disagree a lot.
Often about hiphop.
"There Is A Policeman Inside All Our Heads, He Must Be Destroyed" is a hiphop record. Of this I am sure. Yet its musical embrace rejects purist and genre specific concerns. It bangs hard. A hybrid of hyper primitive creation and modern digital nous. This schizophrenia is forever looming. The bravado and swagger of a man who reckons he is "that guy", the "guy that will go the distance....will go all the way", always juxtaposed with the self effacing nature of a genuinely humble fellow,"a jack of all trades but a master of none". Some tracks reject any conventional notions of tonality and linearity, a disparate assortment of individual movements collectively kicked into (mis)shape by an unforgiving master. Other passages convey a deep respect for, and knowledge of, traditional forms.
Know what I'm saying?
Contemporary. Rootsy.
Meaningful, personal and reflective. Throwaway and inconsequential.
Dusty. Digital.
Duality.
Ah sure, don't mind me. Stick it on the headphones and see. Tis only short.
