That's because it's a scene, not a genre.

i think that once the label “underground” became a genre title in the UK, we shot ourselves in the foot. proximity can’t be the *only* common denominator to group artists. the variety of sounds here can’t truly be platformed properly and appreciated under just one vague term.

Brits have to be aspirational first

There’s still a wide gap open for British music that has the aspirational spark that Hip Hop does.

UK Poo Classic. Is it not trippy that everyone involved was dead serious?

For sure. But I've always found it a bit trippy watching artists find out in real time that not only do people don't take them seriously as musicians, but they also belong to a special category of unseriousness that will probably stick with them forevveerrr

Imagine making the best music of your life and a few years later have it classified and immortalised by the internet as 'UK Poo'

Producers, no more beat breakdowns. Share who/what inspires you instead

Tired of clones and copycats? So is Kenneth Blume (fka Kenny Beats), and he's got some thoughts on what artists and producers should do to curb the trend.

How long until footage from this era is in a museum?

Ohhh baby! I think it was the last real summer that people didn’t have their phones in their hands all the time, and pre video on insta / twitter so people didn’t take them as much.
