Not that much, no.
Beats = excellent
Flav = entertaining
D = tedious, preachy monotone dullard with a political act to grind who is nowhere near as clever as he thinks he is and all served up in a really mediocre style

If I want to learn about history and/or politics I don't want to do so through the medium of hip hop thanks. Much as I love KRS his similar self-styled 'teacher' shit spoils his otherwise brilliant MCing. The big-nosed spastic.

You know your hip hop onions, Broado, so you don't need me to reel of a list of superior contemporaries, but to pluck names out of the air Big Daddy Kane, Masta Ace, Kool G Rap or MC Shan all crapped all over PE's output from a great height. Even Biz Markie is more entertaining.

I didn't....wait for it........'believe the hype'....about PE and I still think I was right to do so. Also late 80s Winchester was not a place where a chap could easily muster righteous sympathetic indigation about the plight of the urban US nig-nog.

tl:dr 'no'

Have you heard the track that Kool G Rap did with Unkle?

Nope.
Always with the white nerd hip hop with you isn't it, Bri'ass.

I think his finest record is Ill Street Blues.

Guns Blazing.
Shadow on production duties. The only track from that album that Lavelle had no say in.

Fucking blinding tune. Check it on YouTube.

I used to see Lavelle out at hip hop shows all the time,
trying too hard with wakki tramlines and bent Bathing Ape sweatshirts etc. He's a silly man.

Mo Wax was ace though.
He got that P&D deal with A&M for 300 grand. Mo Wax never made a penny, but it made Lavelle rich. He sold it twice in fact.

I think this is the main reason that hip hop has tended to pass me by.
Leading a sheltered upbringing in a middle-class suburb on the border of Warwickshire meant that all that those black American chaps were banging on about (to borrow a phrase from The Smiths) said nothing to me about my life.

Ah yes but vast swathes of it are about nothing more than lyrical dexterity and are all the better for it.

you should give MC Pitman a listen.

I saw him live a few years ago.

If you don't have them, get DJ Ivory's 'Hear No Evil' mixes (parts 1 and 2) and Edan's 'Fast Rap' set.
Pretty much every single record on all three mixes is a gem: all 80s rarities.
