Dismiss hip hop at your peril. Sometimes the narrow focus of Morrissey/Smiths fans leaves me frustrated. Back in the mid 1980s, alongside my Smiths/JAMC/Fall/Half Man Half Biscuit LPs I bought plenty stuff on the Street Beats label; KRS-1 and Scott La Rock.Eric B & Rakim. All great records. Etc.
In the 1990s, we got the aforementioned Kool Keith, Jeru The Damaja, Common, Gang Starr, Public Enemy (still), Mobb Deep and Quannum. Plus plenty more.
Hip hop isnt all about sexism and violence; there's a lot of innovative and creative artists out there. Forget the mindless MTV-promoted rubbish and look deeper.
Unfortunately, some people are too narrow-minded and blindly dismiss it. Especially some of the 'sensitive, cardigan pulled over their sleeves' Morrissey fans. Expand your horizons and please remember that "Burn down the disco/hang the blessed DJ" was Morrissey's most ill-informed and inflammatory lyric. Don't be swayed by your saviour, make up your own mind.
