Yeah saw the J2K tune. Big.

new Skepta EP





not bad. more and more american hip-hop influence on his style with every release. fair play to him i suppose as he's still putting out decent stuff.

[Cuthbert]

Just listened. It's OK, but I'm really not sure what the point of this release is. Just feels a bit 'meh'.

[Ol’ Qwerty Bastard]

agree. much more excited for a new JME project than I am for something from Skep.

Q, are you aware of the Logan Sama thing atm?
Been kicked off the BBC for banterish tweets he made three ****ing years ago. Somebody obviously kept the screenshots of the tweets and informed the BBC. I actually got a bit mad reading it.

Skeamz (producer, really nice guy) talking sense on Twitter:

Whichever lowlife reported @djlogansama 's old tweets to the BBC is an idiot . Let's be honest . When you get sum1 sacked that's not jus a reputation knock but uve also fucked with sum1s livelihood . I hope he gets back into work as soon as .

Why is Logan Sama apologising to these online black activists ? These people don't do shit for their own communities let alone other people of the same race . Logan has put on more people of colour than anyone else tbh

I'm seeing some "black Twitter" people saying they want apologies n shit ..... but these are the same lot who make "white people" stereotypes on a regs . Fuck this I'm team @djlogansama

Funny how at the time no one got offended ... two two's he gets a job at BBC then all of a sudden everyone's offended ... piss off mate .

?? Have u ever cussed a white girl for any reason ? But used the fact she's white as the reason behind it ? I see this shit all the time on the timeline . Yet when a white guy does it , he's wrong ?

It's not like man randomly tweeted some **** about dead black tings ... he's tweeting his mates having convos with his mates like mates do . I don't care tbh

All these people attacking me on Twitter are probably the same ones who tweet about white girls not being able to cook .... but I guess that's different sumhow ?

do you know what the tweets were? cant find them. social media is mad, seems like something along these lines is popping up every other week. can't say anything without making someone mad.

Yeah, years old tweets that were clearly tongue in cheek jokes - https://twitter.com/industry_racism/...91915249512448

Crybullies reporting him and cost him his job. Also great news for young black Grime MCs who now have one less platform to help them achieve success thanks to all this.

If you know who Merky Ace is check out his Twitter page he's making some good points about that.
