FatLace you have done it again, educated me on some shit I never knew! This is one of my fave 12s I own and so nice to read some history. And to the commenter Whut, I was at both those jams you went to, yes it was a bit harsh but when me and my mates went, we were all mainly white, with bald heads and loads of attitude so we never got any aggro gos we were screwfaced at the jams all the time cos we knew white kids that had their trainers knicked for looking soft! It was harsh back then, I got static at Dingwalls and at Notting Hill Carnival cos I’m a cracker muthafucka but ya know what I LOVED IT and glad I got those memories, maximum respect to FAT LACE

I had been looking for The Signal for so long, I have only ever had it on a mixtape a friend did for me when he came from the back the UK in 89, fuck it’s still dope if you ask me.

This interview was dope

^Hip-hop shows in the UK have always been pretty mixed affairs, no? I’m only 30 so didnt really see any shows till the early-mid 90s (and then mainly in Scotland) but looking at photos of PE gigs and the like from the 80s there are white faces a plenty in the crowd.

Dude. 3rd Base. You cannot forget. That whole crew-check the early videos- were mixed black/white/brown whatever..Serch gotta be a jewish negroe,man. And any man who look at the late great Paul C and laugh need to catch a serious eye-jammie ..i mean the list goes on and on. Caucasions cannot be denied or removed from history books maybe ask Freddy Fresh. Whatever sum of the parts credible white artists have contributed, has been for the greater good of the music and culture, so people shouldnt get caught up in the insecurities of being white in Hip-Hop anymore.
Anyway, what does my light-skin ass know!.haha

and remember YBT getting booed at the PE jam on the Isle Of Dogs back in the earlt 90′s and House Of pain being virtually booed of stage at Brixton Academy when they came on after the support act…Cypress Hill! I got a bottle thrown atme at a Westwood jam too once in 94 for being white, thank god for the likes of eminem, Stig Of The Dump and DJ Greenpeace for helping us honkeys finally get accepted into this Hip Hop culture.

The older tracks are nice for ’89. Can’t really comment on the Electro stuff as it’s not my kind of thing, but I’m sure there are a load of kids in Cheap Mondays jeans and dayglo t-shirts who will f’ing love it.
