PICK UP MY DOG FAM
Look, i don't care what anyone says about these boys or what they do, i love them. Having lived in England, one of the first things i noticed was that every male between the ages of 12 and 30 think they're a badman. Well maybe not every single male, but a large majority. everyone thinks they're hood, everyone thinks they're a big boy dealer, everyone thinks they're hard, and everyone thinks they're a sick mc. as a symbol of what's going on in the society, i think the badman epidemic is a little scary: it's a survival thing, and it's also a way for displaced young men to defend themselves, and to belong. However, on a superficial level- and you can watch many a grime youtube clip where one mc goes on a rant about how they're the baddest and they're going to shank this person and lord knows what else that person - i find it quite amusing. i love Shadrack and the Mandem because they take the living piss (i know i said i wouldn't swear in my posts, does 'piss' count?) out of this trend. i just wish young men would leave the naughtiness, the dealing and PARTICULARLY the mc-ing to those who actually know what they're doing.
