On holiday and trying to find somewhere in puerto rico gran Canaria, that is showing the F1 on sky .

No.luck so far .

How close are you to Puerto de Mogan?

There's a pub/restaurant there, I think its called Tapas Tapas. Its got half a dozen tv's and shows all the PL games and other live sports.

Em's earlier stuff was better but he's still produced some decent tracks in recent years, tends to happen with most controversial artists though. It's like with grime music, being from Tottenham it's the most popular genre in these parts, the older stuff pisses over what gets put out nowadays, so much more gritty and pure. Often it's due to artists going mainstream, once they get to that level they have to filter their content and it just becomes ****.

Grime from like 2005 through to roughly 2011 was where it was great.

Slim Shady LP was good
Marshall Mathers LP was excellent
The Eminem Show was a masterpiece and is the only album I have ever heard where every track is awesome.
Encore had two or three great tracks but was otherwise pretty "meh"
Relapse was great, loved it, half a dozen bangers on there
Recovery was meh, and so was every album since, until Kamikaze......

It's not just TV we differ in them...

hehe, I dont remember to be honest.

If we had a disagreement about TV, then it was likely about Lost or Prison Break or one of those other **** bag shows.
Are you a Lost fan by any chance?

It was Lost and The Office
 
I hear a lot of stuff that I like, but I never remember the names of the bands.

I quite like it that way. Living in the moment is the only proper way to live.
I don't agree with that either, living in the moment it's great when you are young but once you have dependants the your very selfish if you don't change and plan for the future.

Yeah the early Grime scene was raw and had energy, ****e now though.
 
You like Eminem ffs
And?
He is one of the greatest Hip Hop Artists in History.
As far as that genre goes, he is the Elvis Presley, or The Beatles.
Even if you are not a big fan of his music (like I am not a big fan of the two aforementioned acts), surely you can still respect the barriers he broke down.
Breaking in to a genre of music, not just dominated by, by SOLELY occupied by Black people.
He not only gained respect as a rapper, but rose to the top of the genre, no mean feet for a little white dude with Blonde hair.

And hey, if Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg are down with him, that is good enough for me.
 
Grime is to be removed with Cillit Bang

Are you talking **** like N-Dubz and Dizzee Rascal etc?
Dizzee yes N-Dubz no. There were some hardcore bands that grew out of the mainstream guys like Dizzee. Some really harsh hard sounding UK rap. Tempa T and Griminal are two that stand out for the sound I'm on about

N-Dubz was like a pop version of grime lol. Dizzee’s earlier stuff was good.

The likes of Ghetts, Scorcher, Devlin, Wretch, Skepta, JME, Wiley in that 05-11 era were class. Some still make some decent stuff now but nowhere near as good as back then.

Ghetts is probably my favourite, with Devlin a close second but Wiley and Skepta were/ are class.

Nowadays it’s all about CASisDEAD, love his stuff. A sort of mix of Grime, Electro and 80’s all rolled into one.

Lost is one of the highest ranked tv series ever but your dismissing that <whistle>

I don't like the new stuff, it's all a bit polished now.
