While at the Winter Music Conference in Miami last month I got to catch
several MCs. There was a close relative of Bob Marley (can't even
remember the dude's name) on top of DJ Monk. Blah. He had no soul. He
must have repeated this same line at least 20 times:
Peace...love...unity
Peace...love...unity
Peace...love...unity
Peace...love...unity
Peace...love...unity
Peace...love...unity
Peace...love...unity
Peace...love...unity
Peace...love...unity

It was pretty obnoxious after a while. TC Islam went over some of the
Metalheadz. He was a lot more about the attitude and strutting around.
He tried to interact with the crowd but unfortunately it was in a very
rock star style -- holding his hands out to touch the people. Blah. DJ
Rap had some other chump trying the MC bit. He really took away from her
performance. It seemed that she was trying to work with him, but he had
a schizophrenic sense of time/meter. She would take the beat away so he
could do his bit and he'd miss the cue. It was really wack!
I try to be open minded but my experiences with MCs have not been all
that positive. Even the LTJ Bukem stuff sounds dirty with MC Conrad on
it. What's even sadder is that US MCs are all trying to sound like
they're from the UK.
Hold up selecta. The massive demand the rewind... Lord'ha mecy.
Oh my goddess.
I realize that all music borrowes from one another, but why front like
you are from somewhere else. Borrow at will but always give it your own
twist. These are, of course, only my opinions.
Peace,
Pedro Cevallos
