I don't really use the term myself, I've caught myself drop it once or twice but I think the usage of it in England is really changing. My dad used to use the word very occasionally, but only when talking about someone he disliked - 'di dutty negah' - but during the '90s/00s, I noticed it first getting popular when So Solid blew up. These days, it's commonplace everywhere. I never liked the fact that it gave dumb white people in America the opportunity to say some sh*t like 'Well, if you guys call yourselves niggas, why can't we call you nigga?' - I've had to set so many people straight just off the coonery of Americans. Now British youts are doing it. Personally I feel like it's a disrespect and yet another sign that kids are becoming brainwashed by American cooning. We'd never try and reappropriate jungle bunny or golliwog, can you imagine? 'Wha gwaan my golli' 'Dem gollis rolled up in my yard fam' 'Me and couple jungle bunnies are going raving, still' It's mad.

Why is every London man prang about Carni? I get you *might* see the people you don't wanna see there, but I swear London man - i.e. 20+ - seem shook. I'm from Oxford, what the f*ck? Also, anyone reach St. Pauls this year? Chapeltown Carnival is on soon if you shook ones haven't featured there yet, I recommend it highly.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNQSV3BBtZ4 Good watch. I think people in this thread have a problem with Zionism and not Judaism. Even Jewish groups have a problem with Zionism, as Orthodox followers believe that the Messiah must first return before a Jewish homeland can be reclaimed. Holocaust happened, but quickly became the 'Holocaust Industry' - a term coined by Norman Finkelstein. This guy is incredibly intelligent. He is articulate and doesn't give an inch in his arguments. @ the chick, she just has to cry and keep it movin

Your text accent is hilarious. Hol' a rep. :D

Well, it's simple. Nationality is illusory, it is only the sum of geography and politics. Culture is the fabric that ties nations together, along with a shared history - all of which require social organization and structuring. We might all consider ourselves to be British or English. If you're Black, through the lens of a far-right BNP nationalist, you may be deemed more or less British at a glance, than Polski Piotr. You construct the idea of nationality in your head as your experience life. Nick Griffin has a firm idea of what Britishness is in his distorted mind. UB40 have a completely different idea. It is all down to where you are raised and what your social experiences are. Nationality is tied up in racial, and also ethnic politics. Look at all the madness in Rwanda and Liberia. Even North and South Sudan!

My Dad is Jamaican and my Mum is English. And race/nationality is a social construct. SMH @ you non-social scientists.

Her pops is a deep social commentator.

them sociology students thereGeography you prick.

Last LBC comment smashed it. It was a class-riot, set within a broader macro-socio-economic context that, if you're on over 40k a year and live in a suburb, you might struggle to understand.

Yeah heard about this, he didnt die http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Z4r3nY_TuU Think it was the last guy rapping. The friend was Smegz. I think the bredda says 'Marks' at 2.51 in the video. Also says he moved from 'country' - sounds like a Manny accent.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-g_EiH-_2g My family ran a Caribbean carnival in Oxford in the early '90s, and they got given a video about Notting Hill carnival from maybe 1992 or so. This guy was on the video, and I still remember bringing it into school and playing it for my classmates as a yout'.

Ridiculous bassline on this one. Got a Soul II Soul vibe going on, definite. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFS8qADIBCM Classic track featured in the film The Business.

This drop is mad. Danny Byrd killed it, comes like a Todd Edwards production - only at DnB tempo. Madness, if you were raving in Brighton around '05/'06 you would know what this track used to do to raves. Remember hearing this track mash up Concorde II on more than one occasion. And they're OX4 locals too..

Doing this in a random order http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucx-x5W_12Y 1994/5, dreadlocks down my back, aged 9 or around there, my dad bought me Jungle Hits Volume 1. Classic disc. M-Beat had sh*t on lock back in these days, at least in my opinion. Unexpected first drop and a wicked second drop into a classic rare groove sample. 2007/8 - Classic house track, classic house drop. Just when you want it, and leading into enough of a progression so as not to give the whole tune away.

Rapture. I remember seeing HLC on it randomly back when I was about 16. Had to proper Google for that one. I loved garage and that entire era. Big up the out of London crew who used to mission up to Oxford Street to cop TNs, TN caps and Avirex. 80s babies >>>>>> LOOOOL YESSSSS, pop up oxford street spend about 80 quid on vinyls on the way. TNs with the matching coloured laces ARE TYHOSE TNs MK 3s BRUV THEY'RE SICK BRUV Yes bruv! Quick trip to D'arblay Street, in past the goon squads outside Footlocker to check the exclusives (extra exclusive if you're a 'country' yute like me) and home!

Clocked your thread before, props to you Thun you know your sh*t. I think the man deserves his own thread still. His back-catalogue is deep, and he's making a new doc at the minute I think!
