Whereas I went to my first FWD on Friday and loved the MC. Couldn't imagine it without one when you're out. Too much can be a bad thing though.

All about Pokes for me. Never seen a set which didn't benefit from his presence on mic. Brings pure energy and pure jokes everytime!

love it

i like spitting bars and hearing a good spitter doing his ting over dubstep.

Im a bit bias tho. I think its always been a part of dubstep so it wont be going away.

Pokes & Crazy are no brainers.. i didn't feel the need to mention em..

As for abashanti, Shaka etc... what kina element do they bring ? Is that PROPER dub?

I thought Reef meant those "bang bang skeet skeet, i'll shank ur nan" type MC's..

Now obviously that's part of the scene and there's no point in me complaining about it.

Just wondering if there are ever nights on where you just hear the tunes and there's no MC. If so, where?

Ta
We dont have mc's at Square Roots mate, come down some time.

there are some good ones about though. some of the grime guys sound sick over dubstep

I think the ban comes in some time next year? They're already trying it out in Scotland and the Galapagos islands where you have to go outside to talk in rhythm and rhyme. Personally I can't stand DJs on dubstep, wish they would shut up and let me order a drink in peace. Peace.

erm ... i've become a bit confused here too.

those guys are "proper dub" i.e. dub/roots not dubstep ... i was saying i'd be up for hearing that sort of style of micmanship over dubstep. so not the nan-shanking style, more the deep meditation style. if that doesn't make sense i'll try to dig out an example from a tape somewhere.

I read that as "it doesn't take a brain to figure out pokes and crazy are wicked mcs" i.e. it's a no brainer. So it's a compliment, not a diss... unless I read it wrong.

I like mcs that bring something different, like Space ape. Pokes is pure class too, that guy has me cracking up at each dmz.
