Welsh is in, and they are probably better looking than Pitman, Pitman doesn't do radio edits and doesn't appear to want to get in t'charts anyway. GLC are really atrocious tho.

The more pertinent question might be why either of them get any coverage at all, god sometimes 'comedy' rap makes me want to do violent acts to people.

guns don't kill people, comedy rappers do

I really want to set Lady Sov on GLC.

i dont get the lady sov hype anymore. loved the beat for cha ching and the remix, as well as her voice and slightly odd lyrics/flow, but she seems to have nothing to say, as it were. apart from slagging off jentina, haha.

Apart from anything else, GLC will burn in hell for using YMO's gorgeous Behind the Mask as the backdrop to one of their puerile raps.

using beautiful samples for lyrical puerility is a hip hop tradition.

what do other grime or hip hop MCs have to say that Lady Sov doesn't, can't or won't tho?

not sure, but they say it better ;) i think lady fury or shystie are better than sov, even though shes got great style though as a rapper.

Pitman has quite deliberately avoided going down the chart route, as soon as it looked like he might get some crossover appeal he released "It Takes Tea" which basically lambasted anyone that bought the record for being a poseur and, of course, a "twat".

"Pit Closure" is the overlooked masterpiece of 2004 though.

five years pass...

there are FOURTEEN Pitman threads on ILM!

found a copy of Pit Closure for the first time this weekend, in a $5 clearance bin, but at $9.99

I am looking forward to hearing it, six years late
