Last Friday as CoCo posed I asked if she had heard (and assuming she would have had and also liked) "Otis" but she said "eer". I was a bit disappointed with her answer as I love it and recommend the Deluxe Edition of Watch The Throne
But If your not a hip-hop fan the tracks below are more pop... or just check out the video
I had always
planned on writing a review when Otis first dropped, however I held off waiting for the
full album but can't be objective...
I looked around
last week and was genuinely surprised that one reviewer found the message of the video "distasteful" at that time of civil unrest...
The message
some heard was after The Lords and MP expenses scandal, after a former senior
member of The UK Prime Minister's team was found to be implicated in a police corruption
scandal, who's tentacles seem to be reaching deep into the ruling and upper
classes, as David Cameron admits defeat over Bankers' bonuses (I
wish I could join their discreet clubs and fraternities), it was all bound to happen... There is a thesis that we have are all becoming too cynical seeing how those
who rule over us never seem to have to bother to play by the rules...
So why should
the mass bother with the rules? And what about the most depressed by the way society is going and
only want in some way to express this by taking consumer goods in an desire to
catch up? Even if most of their rap is imagined, some look to Jay-z for
inspiration...
The problem for
the British working classes and the new emerging underclass, getting their
high is usually illegal and attracts draconian sentencing…
I bet the MP's
crowd all danced and laughed along at the Bullingdon Club to London’s Burning
by The Clash, back in the day... Karma's a bitch
Mr.Cameron...
The best review
I’ve seen is by Jacqueline Springer, academic of black music, which can be
heard here for a few more days... Please scrub 5 min's into the program to hear
her >>>
'Who ever thought that they could take it that far'>>>
