SE ONE FOUR 8: METAPHORS AND METAFIVES!!!Friday ,5th December 2003
SE One Four/8 used to rhyme individually. They all knew they were hot. Then they got together and set their area on fire. Now, they're here to do some serious global smouldering, rid of some of the bullshit, and bring back 1992.That was the time of real hip-hop music man! Real emotion, a skill and a mic ting' exclaims Tommy Bones, distinguished rapper of the hip hop collective. 'It was before hip hop became a marketable product and started brainwashing the youth into believing rap was all about benz, gemz and tits'.
Aaah the good old days. Doesn't anyone with any intellect want them back? How refreshing it is to see a bunch of young talented men eager on expressing some intelligence for a change.
Jack Jones, D.Logics, Tommy Bones and their DJ, 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin present an astounding wisdom of their craft. Their answers are sharp, confident, witty; matter of fact, if they'd gone into law, Johnny Cochren would be cacking himself.
'We are DIII STREET SCHOLARS, I got 2 watches on so we know damn well what the time is - our time. Lyrically, there is no one out there better than us, not that we've seen anyway, if there is, they need to come and sign to Blue Borough'.
The record label recently set up by SE One Four/8, 'Blue Borough', is the business venture they plan on releasing material through as well as sign up the potential surrounding talent. 'All the foundations we need to spread the word are in the pipeline, by spring 2004 we'll have signed publishing, promotional and distribution deals.we're setting things up for ourselves y'know. We've never relied on anyone and we don't intend on starting. Right about now, ask anyone on road - we are what the people are talking about' says D.Logics, 'It's written' continues Jack Jones, whose use of metaphorical wording, even in speech, is particularly inspiring, 'we move like Run DMC, never go anywhere without our DJ, we're hip -hop in it's purest form, nothing else'.
But hip hop, at its purest (and finest), has recently been shaded by the blinding light of diamonds, the huge buhoosms of vide-hoes, and those hugely oversized 'mink coats'. So there's the first problem. Secondly, there's the breaking of a PROPER hip hop act in the UK, which hasn't - really - happened yet. Some say it's down to our weak production, some say we don't have enough personality, some just chat shit. Tommy agrees, 'the main obstacle hip hop in the UK has is finding it's sound, and that's why this industry is in a shambles.the only people we rate are the So Solids and Dizzee Rascals, they're the only artists to bust through recently with a fresh, original UK sound, but we're not feelin' that jumpin' on hip-hop ting.stick to the garage rap man, it suits you'.
Oh.Then we have Big Brovaz. Two are confused as to whether or not they're from L.A or Lagos, the other one's caught in between and although the girls have great voices, their music's a cross between S Club 7 and coughed up semi-R&B tripe. Blazin' Squad? Fuck, let's not even begin. 'We're not thinkin' about Big Brovaz man, we don't regard them as hip hop' laughs Jack, 'that's what's stopping us, that's our obstacle!' shouts Bones. 'How is anyone gonna take our scene seriously when groups like that are representing our talent?' enthuses D.Logics, 'they're dead before they're born!' laughs Jack. Comments continue to fly across the room on why and how SE One Four/8 'WILL be that real, defining sound of British hip hop'. Judging by the flow and content of their promo CD, they could be right.
