"srsly poptimists need 1x CRASH COURSE in contemporary hip-hop"

(That's the Lex speaking)

1. Do we? Or "Do you?" I should say, since we're a loose clumping of individuals innit.

2. GO ON THEN! What's the best hip-hop you've heard this year?

The Lethal Bizzle is very funny and well told. Dude N Nem and Soulja Boy aren't going to win any prizes for great lyrics: it's all about the way they use words as instrumental hooks - the way Dude N Nem's voices switch up a pace with the music like a card-sharp doing find the lady, and the huge gleeful swooping "YOUUUUUUUUU" hook on Soulja Boy.

Ok, mahoosive review of the tracks you and Lex recommended below somewhere! I am proud of myself for trying, even where I didn't necessarily get all of it, and some of it was ace. Good experience.
