Cockney violence marred by footballing outbreak
There was surprise last night after a football match broke out during a violent assault by a bunch of cockneys on another bunch of cockneys to decide which cockneys were hardest.
The violence occurred between two groups of psychopathic cockneys, each with a penchant for football teams separated by a few hundred yards.
One football hooligan told us, “When those cockneys come onto our manor, us cockneys see it as taking a fackin’ liberty.”
“So we rounded up those cockneys, and us cockneys gave those other cockneys a right good hiding.”
The violent confrontation was marred by a 3-1 victory for West Ham, in an unprovoked football match which broke out in the midst of the savage fighting.
“It was disgusting, I could hardly see this one cockney having his head repeatedly rammed into a plastic seat because of these blokes in bright shirts kicking a ball backwards and forwards in front of me.”
“My ticket put me almost 100 yards away from the real action, so all I could see were athletic men running around and the odd goal.”
“If I wanted to see that sort of behaviour, I wouldn’t support Millwall, would I?”
Organisers of both ‘firms’ have been quick to denounce the behaviour of West Ham and Millwall football clubs.
“How are we supposed to finally decide which is the tidiest set of cockneys if they insist on playing football right in the middle of our fights?”
“Is it any wonder attendances are down and proper cockneys are falling out of love with the game when their clubs behave like this?”
Both firms have claimed victory, and the fight is due to go to a replay at the earliest possible opportunity.
Thaks to Actin the Sham from the PROC!

Gonna dedicate this to all the good people at Fat City records in Manchester. Thanks for all the great memories and thanks for a promo copy of this back in the day!
One for the late night crew! A Tribe Called Quest
"My man Ron Carter is on the bass, yeah my man Ron Carter yes he on the bass!"
It's 20 years since i wrote down on a bit of paper for my old lade who was heading to London, a brand new album was out
"A T...ribe Called Quest-Peoples Instinctive Travels and the Paths of rhythm"
She got it too!
The rest is history
This, from the second album, was on heavy rotation in my late teens! My love of jazz grew during this era
My man Ron Carter was on the fucking bass as the greatest hip-hop crew of them all took it deeper than ever-also check for Vinja Mojica on backing vocals!

"I was the third brother of five,
Doing whatever I had to do to survive.
I'm not saying what I did was alright,
Trying to break out of the ghetto was a day to day fight.
Been down so long, getting up didn't cross my mind,
I knew there was a better way of life that I was just trying to find.
You don't know what you'll do until you're put under pressure,
Across 110th Street is a hell of a tester.
Across 110th Street,
Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak
Across 110th Street,
Pushers won't let the junkie go free.
Across 110th Street,
Woman trying to catch a trick on the street.
Across 110th Street,
You can find it all in the street.
I got one more thing I'd like to y'all about right now.
Hey brother, there's a better way out.
Snorting that coke, shooting that dope man you're copping out.
Take my advice, it's either live or die.
You've got to be strong, if you want to survive.
The family on the other side of town,
Would catch hell without a ghetto around.
In every city you find the same thing going down,
Harlem is the capital of every ghetto town.
Across 110th Street,
Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak
Across 110th Street,
Pushers won't let the junkie go free.
Across 110th Street,
A woman trying to catch a trick on the street, ouh baby
Across 110th Street,
You can find it all in the street.
Yes he can, oh
Look around you, just look around you,
Look around you, look around you, uh yeah"

Their better days were gone, and they were no longer a cutting edge funk band, but what a groove and what a tune!
Best use was by Paid in Live and Lauryn Hill! Dude in Paid in Live was Robert "Kools" son!

Tune of the day-Whitney Houston
Excellent Raphael Saadiq production for an artist who only really started making soul music later in her career in my opinion. That 80's stuff is okay pop-wise but does little for me. Stuff like this and "It's not right it's okay' were huge though!

Give me the night with Seven Grand Housing Authority
Classic soulful house from the genius that is Terrence Parker
Tune of the day (and rap lyric of the day) All Natural
Okay, enough fucking around!
This is quite simply one of the best hip-hop records of all time. It was massive for me when it came out and I still have a lot of affection for the legendary group and this legendary track. The Ramsey Lewis loop, used by many, is absolutely killer. And the lyrics are as good as it gets. I've included the samples of Ramsey Lewis and KRS One, plus the amazing "Julia" by the Beatles that Ramsey covered. Also, there's a short documentary on the amazingly under-rated Chicago crew All Natural referencing this tune. And it's on one of my favourite ever mixes right here here
"Now 50 years down the line, see I'll be chillin
like it ain't no thing, with little shorties on the swings
talkin bout, "My granddaddy had MAD flow
He got some old school, year two-thousand and ten tapes
when he was rockin the shows, and keepin it true
Takin out your granddaddy and his punk ass crew"
Your kid'll get mad, but Wilt didn't run
But what can you say, it's like father like son"

Rap lyric of the day-Lord Finesse
A true rap genius
"Brothers think I'm new, but they're dead for instance
I was into rap before they could form a sentence
I'm finally getting mine after coming up the far way
So nowadays I just lounge and parlay
I'm hip to music, whether jazz or country
I'm the type to make anything sound funky
I like to talk and shout and go and flow
Ayo, some brothers just don't know"

- StevieG
- I'm a DJ from Cork in Ireland. I work with RedFM, presenting Red Drive, The Hitlist and my specialist show, Black on Red. I'm probably best known for being one of the main hip-hop/soul DJ's in Cork and Ireland. I've been DJing in Cork since the early 90's in legendary clubnights such as Sweat in Sir Henrys, Mor Disco, Free La Funk, Yo Latino and also Jam and Jam Junior at the Savoy and the Pavilion. I've also held down long term residencies at clubs around Ireland such as Brown Sugar at the Kitchen in Dublin, U-Turn at Ri Ra in Dublin, Jazz Juice at the GPO in Galway, Thompson Garage in Belfast, the Soul Clinic, Dee-Bop, Meltdown and Mo Bounce in Limerick and i've played abroad in the United States and the U.K. on numerous occasions. I also write a music column for the Evening Echo and i'm a regular contributor to the U.K.'s Blues and Soul, the longest running black music magazine in the world. These days i run the Pavilion, a music venue in Cork, which hosts my Jam night every few Fridays http://www.pavilioncork.com also you can catch me at http://djstevieg.podomatic.com
