URBAN MY ARSE

What does Urban Mean In British Music?

Ok here goes......the misplaced use of the word 'URBAN' is pissin me off!

This all started when .... The Brit Awards robbed Craig David of an award the year he had like 100 nominations & not one award. The complaints were so high Brits suddenly came up with an 'Urban' category (to save face) & started throwing British 'Black Acts' or acts performing songs of 'Black origin' (lemar, ms dynamite, jamelia, joss stone,) etc into it as they were not being recognised against the other musical genres (pop, indie, rock etc) or International acts Destiny's Child, 50Cent etc

Suddenly 'Urban' became the bin or melting pot for any British act associated with 'Black music' why not just say RnB artist, Soul artist, Black music..... Why mish mash it into this Socially incorrect word in relation to music 'URBAN'! Its a bag of bull shiiieeeetttt.

So now if u wear a baseball cap, sportswear, MC, or use slang..... you are URBAN? Well what are u saying that every individual from innercity areas dresses in 'Streetwear' erm.... Stereotype or what!???! Deeper still if Urban is a another way of implying 'Blackness or black inspired' then are u sayin every Black person comes from the innercity 'Urban' areas & all speak slang, dress street, make music or can run really fast etc etc i mean BLOODY HELL.... **nothern voice** when is this BULL SHIIIEEET **yank voice** gonna STOP!!!!!

 If u are inspired by some aspects of Black culture just friggin say so..... Say u love Hip hop, soul, reggae, blues, jazz, carribean life, rather than embracing it to suddenly 'BE HIP or Quirky or ECLECTIC' & to fit in with the overly wack use of the born again 'SWAGGER' religion that Louie Walsh feels he is the ambassador of!

Was Ray Charles, Nat King Cole, Little Richard, Nina Simone, Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington categorised as URBAN? NO!!! They were called Soul acts, Blues, Acts, Jazz acts, Gospel, Rhythm & Blues singers, Pop stars or Black Music period URBAN is not a GENRE so....stop palming it of as one to describe music...

In my **Jim Royale voice** (Royale Family) I say....."URBAN MY ARSE"!!!!!!

Dj Maintain | Busta Rhymes Tribute Mix | Download Link added!

I was listening to ScratchVision a few month's back and Dj Scratch said something that stuck with me, it was along the lines of we should appreciate the artists that are still living rather than all jumping on a mix when they unfortunately pass away or on the anniversary of their death, bday etc. So with that being said I've decided to honour Trevor Tahiem Smith Jr aka Busta Rhymes. A true artist in every sense of the word, from his innovative videos, energetic performances on stage and in the booth. Busta has always been one of my favourite mc's and i hope I've done him justice, peace!
