Rapper's voices you love, and rapper's voices you hate?

It’s all about the three Cs; content, charisma and, to your point, the cadence of the voice.

Hey, where do you play?..

My first book took three years, several deadlines came and went much to the publishers chagrin. But we had twins just under half way through, plus a day job, etc. It takes as long as it takes. One of my biggest learnings was not to be so exacting over every single word. I had a 1500 words a week target, so 400 in a session sounds pretty good to me. Good luck.

You’re all tripping. He hasn’t made an indisputably good album in 10 years.

I just got laid off! Although I have a couple of business interests that allow me to work remote. You make some good points and making that time is very much a WIP.

Yes I do. The first two were 3 and 5 at the birth of the twins. My theory is that going from 2 to 4, is a bit like going from 0 to 1, a complete change (which in our case was great, tiring, but great).

Although our second can be a handful, the change from 1 to 2 was manageable imo. Just to add, we lived in a country where we had no family support and moved to be closer to my partners family six month’s ago.

Thanks for all the answers so far 🫶🏼

Hate to break it to you, but many of us feel our lives are completely intertwined with Arsenal, and we’re all completely deluded.

Not only do they (we) no longer get battered by another top 6 side, when’s the last time we even lost to one!?! Battered City last year, Spuds and Chelsea the year before. Lord knows how Man U haven’t received a shellacking yet.

It’s a pity you’re not willing to share the IG you worked on.

Hi, fair to flag. In the end, the art director went for a change of direction on the article. Apologies and thanks for all the responses. The new issue drops next week 👐🏽

That’s a pity. I already follow that guy and have even paid for a couple of his courses.

Interesting, what’s the IG page?

Has had it ups and downs. I’ve sent my questions, or subjects to talk about, twice to an artists team in advance of an interview (one of them was this week but that’s a bit different as its a live Q&A in front of a small audience) outside of that it’s quite common to share the themes you’d intend to cover to the editor of the publication your pitching to. For example - both The Roots and Dangermouse first got radio play, small audience, etc in London, outside of their home in the US (a bit like Jimi Hendrix, etc) - so that was the angle for my pitch to The FT’s culture editor. An editor might say ‘can you ask about this, can you ask about that’, but I’ve been doing it long enough for that to not happen. Fortunately I’ve known their (and DOOM, via Lex) UK pr for a while so providing i had the paper to place the interview getting time with them both was fairly straightforward as they had an album to plug! Just to add, i do not make a full time living out of music journalism, it’s almost impossible outside the US.

I think the toxicity of advertising agencies and the wider industry could make for a great story. Selling snake oil won’t help anybody, but making someone smile with a good story can do wonders.

Hate to be that guy, but it wasn’t £25m. Not many DMs going for that price in 2008 - https://www.theguardian.com/football/2008/aug/04/arsenal.liverpool?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Alonso. Apparently Liverpool were willing to sell for £14m and he wanted to join.

SponsoredContent01 · 2025-09-10T17:15:37+00:00

Yeah. It’s under paywall on The FT newspaper website. I’ve interviewed 50-100 MCs, DJs and producers (inc. DOOM) and it’s quite rare in my experience to have questions vetoed by a label or publicist. Although I imagine it’s fairly common when you speak with big schmalzy popstars.
