I really don't know enough about hip-hop, y'know. I know I like De La Soul, and Oooh!. I have a song by Majic Most I quite like, even if it has a slightly unpleasant image of a mouth filled with jism, which I doubt is strictly biologically possible. I know I like singing S Club Party to the tune of White Lines (Don't Do It) and The Message still sounds as powerful as when I first heard it years ago, weirdly enough on Dave Pearce's show. I like Prince, who shurely must be hip-hop for pop fans?  I mix up NWA and Public Enemy, which I'm pretty sure probably makes me wronger than ten Hitlers. I had an ex who got really into one or the other not long before we broke up; in the flat we shared he;d play A Bitch Is A Bitch loudly and somewhat incongruously for a man from Norfolk who wore cardigans and had grey hairs at twenty-six. Never had a friend/boyfriend/relative with much of a knowledge of the stuff, so I haven't had anyone to hold my hand and guide me on this one, and I'm wondering whether there's a big hip-hop hole in my life. I once got laughed at by a wannabe student journo for saying I liked Common and Jurassic 5 in 2001, so either I'd be coming at it with an open mind or I'd have a whole lot to learn.
