Seems par for the course for that style of "music". Which I freely admit I don't get. I get all the other stuff, even the stuff I don't like. I don't much like country but I recognise it as an absolutely valid style that many people like. I see no redeeming features in rap. I know I'm old and everything ...

Nothing to do with age, merely that you do not have
enough exposure to the 40 odd years of the genre
to say what is "par for the course" .

You can go back further than that with origins of this form

All moot.

If vimhawk has not listened to enough rap music (tracks and performers)
over the 40 odd year period since its rise within Hip Hop Culture, then a
statement about :

1. what constitutes "par for the course"
2. and whether Kanye epitomises that "par"

is not very credible.

That aside, as someone who has actively followed Hip Hop music
since 1983 (massively so for 1st/2nd generation Rap music) , I
am always happy to discuss the genre with fellow followers ...
 
Bloody hell, this is hard work.....

Some strange officiating, but dour stuff with Henderson and Sterling playing to their usual England standard and Barkley doing his best to not get another cap. <doh>
 
I'd like to see somebody go past a player, nothing will happen if we continue to play without any kind of threat and Croatia are even worse.

Sancho for Sterling and Winks or Maddison for Henderson. That would be a start!
