Re: kode 9 + spaceape - memories of the future
i'm listening again to make sure i'm not wrong but i can't help but laugh at his tired futuristic dread point of view. this shit has been done and redone and over-done many times before by better lyricists and better rappers. his vocals never change style. he speaks every line exactly the same on every track. oh, i guess he whispers some lines, but that's hardly variation. i was out of line to say he was ignorant in the prev. post, but he's absolutely 1 dimensional. if your lyrics don't mean anything or don't have the ability to impact anyone with their words, why bother? it's a distraction. had they been mixed lower or dubbed out or used sparingly, it may have worked. Linton Kwesi Johnson + Prince Far I own the style he's stealing and they did/do it much, much better. Spaceape has neither a unique style or point of view. He's simply some dude with a jamacan accent that Kode9 knows and would work for cheap. Any wagers on who goes further with their musical career? Kode9 or Spaceape?
