Basicly, you dun know, shatap! tommorrow is gunna be huge. Skepta is going to be peforming live tommorrow evening at Cargo over at Rivington Street E2. If you didn't already know then you're drum, and if you did I'll see you there.
Now the related point I would like to address is to do with over-used metaphors and self-proclamation.
A few days ago myself and freinds were discussing Lethal Bizzle Cribs (in all their YouTube volumes), when a scenario was described in which Da Bizzle(Bizzle) was told he was 'the king of grime' to which he replied with something along the lines of "I aint no king of grime blud, the king don't run shit, the queen don't run shit, I'm the prime minister of grime".
What reminded me of this and the reason I chose to bring this up, is because of the numerous occasions I have seen Skepta labelled the king.
To my way of thinking, the people calling Mr Adenuga 'the king' are either not as philosophically adept as Lethal da B, or more likely find the image of Gordan Brown a bit less glorious than that of dude with the priceless hat, huge yard, and face that appears on all types of currency from coin to note, home to abroad. However I do find Lethal's point interresting, I just don't believe the part about him to be true.
If anybody is 'The Prime Minister' it's Joseph Jnr. he is to play a relatively small venue with relatively little promotion and relatively low commercial success yet, mine is one of tens of blogs I have seen to mention the event, aswell as it being covered in a couple of the free papers on the tube. Plus with boy-better-know-tshirt-rockers visible on most streets, his following is clearly strong.
Mr Pow on the otherhand... last I heard was doing a gig at the Zoom sports centre in Harrow for a-nug-a-ticket.
So in conclusion, if 'prime minister' is the new, catchy title to aspire to, I would say it's with skepta until the next election,
Bizzle on the other hand will have to stick with mere 'king' (personally I think jester could be a more apropriate role in the palace, thats just me though).
Enjoy, and remember...
