Mostly dickheads who don't like Hip Hop anyway tho. "Thinks he's black" usually followed by the W word usually followed by realisation that the person you're talking to is a nob.

Something else that's sad is I feel like back in the 1960s people expected DJs to be Characters, to have a big persona. Nowadays anybody who doesn't talk/act like some boring twat you know from work is looked on as being a freak.

its mostly white people to be honest that are so ashamed. right across the board.
though of course black people do wonder 'wtf' too. though there its less to do with him acting 'black' then him acting american.

right. nowadays people like their djs to be inane, braindead, personality-less banalities like edith and reggie yates.

anyone who likes hip hop* in the uk has to like/respect westwood on some level. i dont care what krs one said on their famous face off (though to be fair, at that time, people did think westwood was getting too myopic in what he played)

his on-radio build up to the Jay Z glastonbury show was awesome. genuinely made it all seem very exciting even to a floating Jay Z voter like myself.
― piscesx, Sunday, 24 January 2010 13:14 (fourteen years ago) link
the comment about jay-z not being able to dance when talking to chase and status was immense.

have chase & status since commented on that interview at all?

i can't remember this exactly, but didn't westwood win that battle? (against the ever-relevant krs-one, whose name sounds like a wack radio station.)

not sure. i think at the time people liked that krs 'brung it' to westwood cos he seemed to be getting a bit too satisfied about his status. i dont think tim won it, not really.

Wasn't krs just v. drunk and lolsome and Westwood acting all calm and ignoring him? Dunno, its been a while since I listened to it. Not really a winner, except the listeners obv.

Ireland, June 1990, age 8. Not being able to fill in certain pages on your Panini album was, I imagine, very much like the feeling Bob Dylan had while recording Blood on the Tracks.
