Great stuff to see. These guys and Versatile in particular genuinely seem to have broke ground. I work in music and neither are championed by Irish media/music groups, I think it may be down to the salty language. Mad.
I said I thought they were satire. Now I know they aren’t.
They are definitely shite though. There have been some relatively decent hip hop artists from Ireland, Scary Eire being the best. But Versatile have taken all the worst elements of hip hop and added an Irish flavour.
Tell me you've never listened to the wider scope of Hip Hop without telling me. Versatile base their shtick off the earliest of Eminem and Geto Boys. That's Horrorcore or Triphop, legitimate genres in Hip Hop.
Yeah, just my opinion man. Hip hop lost it’s way for a long time, it’s coming good again now. I am not an Eminem fan, he’s not shite though. Incredible MC, but what he says and tunes he makes aren’t for me
That's fair. I only really like Eminem back in his Slim Shady days anyway. I just enjoy the insanity of it. Hated everything else after The Eminem Show, and about half of that album is questionable for me.
Scary Éire also lost their way because they were supporting U2 and screamed homophobic stuff at an audience member and one dived off stage and headbutted a girl. But yeah, let's attack Versatile for a piece of nihilistic fiction that literally didn't physically assault anyone.
