The poles are out... POLAR BEAR is in...

You like my shizzy attempt at a catchy tagline/headline. I am clearly hilarious. Right? If I were you, i would have stopped reading by now.

Firstly. Today's topic in class is. the wordsmith POLARBEAR.

Listen to ANY of it. BUT Jessica is an easy and obvious introduction. Says it all. Literally. (I literally hate using the word literally. Literally) Speaks the life story of a boy/lad/man using beautifully frank and detailed passion. In my opinion, you've got your unchained melodies and your million love songs BUT THIS is the anthem of modern love. I am an old romantic. So. Shoot me. This man could not explain it better. Even if i'm COMPLETELY on my own on this one, this is WHAT. I. BELIEVE IN. listen. carefully. All those woman out there who question their men. Rethink a few things. You can tell POLAR is smiling inside and out while he 'spits' this. Most fellas wish they could put it this way...

Then, along wonders MOVEs.

So words. YES. check.

Noises. YES. Check.

Natural talents... Yes. Check

Fella got skills.

Dont take this the wrong way BUT. There isnt the direct message you get from scroob BUT there is an Artic Monkeys style honesty to the stories, pictures, attitudes and images told.

His use of ProEvo is hilarious if you ask me. Maybe he more for boys than girls BUT, like i already said, he puts into words what most fellas WISH they could.

Spoken word is not a new thing. Urban poetry is not a new thing. Vocal battles are not a new thing. Their increasing prominence IS a NEW THING.

Check out OneTaste or the Albany for an into-into-all-you-need-to-know. I'll be at KoKo. So should you.

Take a look at Saul Williams and his film SLAM. This is what turned me onto this whole 'genre' (I do not like that word)(I don't like a lot of things which is why I always write about those that I do like).

Why say in ten lines what you can say in just 2.

Why say in 2 when you can shut-the-fuck-up and do.

Admitedlly, if i was able to put this into play then this would all be a bit more concise. BUT the point is there. Stop being part of the apathetic masses.

Stand up for yourself.

Stan up for those around you.

Stand up for what you believe in.

Stand up for Detroit.

Stand up if you hate Man U

I've seen the future... it's bearded

So, I went to the Camden Crawl yesterday. Saw lots. Impressions... mainly non-plussed. Gutted to have missed Kap Bambino check them ooouuutttt

First and foremost. IT. WAS. MESSY.

Now to the nitty gritty.

Dan le sac vs. Scroobius Pip

SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH

So, I cannot deny that by the time they started, I was in all sorts of elated happiness... The day was coming to a GLORIOUS end. Speech Debelle had been and gone. She was AWESOME.

What do you get when you cross good old fashion BEATS (wooommmp) with some of the most intricately crafted words your ears will ever hear and your eyes will ever seen. In this case. a MASSIVE BEARD and a dude with some freeking cool looking gizmo's

From what I understand the queue to get in was EPIC. After claiming my 'Pip for PM' badge, I was ready. Now, forgive my lack of memory for song titles (you will come to understand this) but 'The beat the my heart skips' stood out by FAR as a pure genius crown pleaser. Great Britain and Thou Shalt also turned many people heads upside down judging from friends' accounts.

Now to them and their musics.

I happily listened to Album 1 - Angles. (Due to reasons unto myself cannot get my head round this and so I continue to call it Angels - must me a latent Robbie Williams fixation). Brilliant noises. Some pleasingly original sounds and more than enough wordiness to keep you interested and excited every time you find understanding in a new phrase... which is OFTEN.

A friend passed the Album 2 onto me – take first album, include ‘difficult second album’ cliché and then piss all over it. Make sure you drink loads of water, instant coffee and asparagus before hand to make sure that cliché gets well and truly doused. IT. IS. PHENOMENAL. If you imagine the whole of the

youth(ish) generation belting this out as they walk to work, school, flash mob beating etc. and you have a new set of commandments. And this time, these two geezers with beards are writing their own NOT using some old fella with a beard as their starting point. There is a much stronger political edge this time around BUT in an era where we all need a bit of guidance, these gentlemen provide it.

We live in a Great country - GREAT BRITAIN. Who makes the best music in the world? We do.

Lets stop taking a back seat.

Let's use our vote.

Let's use our abilities.

Lets try something for the greater good.

POLARBEAR P.S.

Lets not forget that there is a life outside our world,

Where children are aged early and young women can't be girls.

We sit at our desks, our screens and our pubs

with little a thought to those the world snubs.

You don't need to go to Africa, India or Middle East.

Go feed the homeless dudes near Old Street.

Don't believe me? Find Henryk. He's a legend...

Get him to draw you something.

In a bit people
