When I go to Lagos…
I had this heated debate with Lex over Calvin Harris and what he’s good for. I mean, I didn’t exactly hate Respectable in the 80’s… but I also realized that I didn’t exactly like Respectable in the 80’s. It’s kinda like socks. Most of the time, you just wear the first pair you grab, it don’t matter. Anyhow, I came to the conclusion that Mr. Merry Maker’s production may kinda sort of slightly be interesting? Annnnnd that’s about it.
Okay, so it wasn’t really a heated debate… more like a glossed over, split second, uninspired symposium.
I guess the point I was trying to get across was that Harris should stick to production. I think he does some good remix work (see Ting Tings remix) and me likes the beats on the Dizzee track. It’s catchy. I could care less about Calvin’s adorable little rap-sing, but whatever. Ja Rule rap-sings. Here’s another example to support my argument… Afrikan Boy with some raps over Vegas. I think this is fire!
K I’ma go get a haircut now… later friends.
Way cool. Dueling posts. Engrossing talk about music.
Come on. you guys really don’t like Harris cuz he sold out and did production on Kylie’s record. Admit it. ;)
yea i agree, calvin harris is good but not that amazing
Never trust a scottish hipster – they do not make sense – they are really scottish people trying to be english

“acceptable in the 80’s” was pretty lame IMO – What do people think about the link up with dizzee rascal http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GibLntdLiJA
He is no “hipster” at all.
