He’s talking about Jay-Z and Kanye West’s Watch The Throne album, one of my favourites from the last year. The first line I have a problem with comes early, in the first paragraph. I’m not massively interested in the latter two, but a quick skim through the Grime piece suggests Devlin, Wretch 32, JME, Ghetts are in his frame of reference. There are three other articles by him on The Guardian’s website, one on whether Grime is poetry, one on Islamic singer Maher Zain and one as part of a panel on Ed Milliband’s approach to youth unemployment. It bills itself as “The Voice Of Youth”, perhaps explaining why a crotchety old fool like me hasn’t heard of it ’till now. He’s the political editor of Live Magazine. If you’re going to ignore something at least work out why first. Look the other way? Nah, where’s the point in that.

And so face meets palm, words are absorbed through a gauze of mistrust, and before ya know it there’s a heap of crap to wade through before you even get to hearing what I think of Lowkey and The Guardian’s take on a new wave of political British hip-hop MCs. Any attempt at understanding must be fraught with embarrassment. I guess that’s what a few people must feel like visiting Ringometry, making huge assumptions about both the critic and the nature of the music. It’s difficult for me to read any article on British hip-hop in The Guardian without hiding my face in my hands, peeking out through the gaps in my fingers trying desperately to minimise the cringe factor. OK, it’s prejudice, but at least I’m being honest here.
