As I said in the previous post, I've been on this rant about UK-rappers gone bad for a while now. Kano has suffered some pretty bad punches. Unfair? No, I don't think so. If u make music u know that people are gonna have an opinion. U know that they will rate it. As good or bad. The reception of Kano's new single 'Rock N Roller' that got released yesterday have been mixed. Mostly what I've seen people rated it as _bad_. Esp. we, the reactionaries, who loved "Home Sweet Home".
Last week the snippet of 'NWMOS' leaked, here's the full version, 04:26 long in a proper 320 and all. Enjoy K-A spitting over Mikey J's edit of Jay-Z's "Blueprint 3" track 'On To The Next One' (produced by Swizz Beatz), addressing that very criticism of the direction of his new music, from fans/critics who seemingly want replication of his earlier material.
I still think the track is complete garbage with a rotten message. If u can't take that people rate what u do like "shit", get the fuck out the kitchen if u can't stand the heat. Don't get defensive, stand by it instead. This way is just alienating and very unattractive esp. for someone who wanna sell records.
But there's still a glimpse of hope for Kano's yet still untitled, upcoming album that will drop early next year. Cause what name do we find among the production credits if not exactly what I've wished for... RADIOCLIT! Let's just hope this is another track other than 'Julia' from the Very Best-album. It's pretty obvious by now that the upcoming album will not be a very grimy one and other collabos to look forward to confirming that fact are with Berlin’s electro-house upstart Boys Noize, purveyors of synthetic soul Hot Chip as well as Kano's long-term collaborators Mikey J and songwriter/producer Fraser T Smith.
Everything about Kano today isn't bad, this Very Best-collabo is still amazing:
I hope he stays on the good path, I don't wanna have to rate that upcoming album on a negative scale.
This rant is (hopefully) over.
