Artists with a bad reputation

[Misdemeanor]

Yesterday i was reading a three page thread on dnba titled

post your stories of dett being a c*nt here!

Seems that the man has a really bad reputation with some ppl for being a rude bastard. (to put it mildly "arrogant racist prick" were among the comments)

http://forum.breakbeat.co.uk/link.asp?TOPIC_ID=77025

Anyway made me wonder how much difference does the image make, At the end of the day if he's a good mc, who cares if he's a tosser....that said, who wants to work with a tosser??

just wondered what the promoters and ppl thought on here?

Do you book / go and see someone for their talent/ability to grab the crowd regardless of their attitude, or are there some djs/mcs who you wouldnt book if they were goin free :D

ps. Always thought detts an alright mc!

[Manikular]

broken link hun! who was it about???

i would never book mc mc in a million years...

i really can't stand the guy

[Misdemeanor]

Its about Dett. Just wondered if its true he's an arsehole - a couple of ppl get on the wrong side of him doesnt mean he's a cunt. But doesnt mean he's not either :D

- dnba arena links never work piece of shit!

first post reads:

"Everyone has experienced some form of shit from this 'MC'

Post your shit experiences with him here.

Ive got a few. I'll start with the 'move out of my way, white boy' he said the first time I went to say something to him about my mates little rave he was booked at. I wonder what he would have done if I had said 'out of my way, black man' ????"

- re MCmc = do u rate him as an mc at all, but jus wont book him cos of his attitude then?

[Manikular]

i have not heard mc mc in years...

used to like him in 1994

he got shit with all that hella la la la helter skelter bollox. .

[Ov3RKiLL]

ive always hated mc mc...

a pretty little filly from around the way, she said i dont date mc's and dj's

:ban:

[vyper]

It's a tough one, as some of these MC's/DJ's attract the crowds despite some of em being cunts etc..I think i'd still book someone, unless they'd been a cunt to me or my friends...just for the fact thatthey're a. good at what they do & B. can pull a crowd in...i'd have to have both A & B not one without the other.

[MIKEE HUSSLA]

I imagined Dett to being quite a nice bloke !! Turns out he's a bitch !! :D

[Misdemeanor]

did u read that thread too ???

[Smokey]

i've only actually met him once and he didn't really go out of his way to be friendly!!!

i don't rate him either...

tired old man imho.

[Mikee Merge n C]

I gave him a bat on the back when he came off stage at BBL Sound and he made the biggest screw face back at me! Hahaha! Suit yourself...

Lady Blaze came up to me in Expression having been quite offended by him. That's for her to discuss really...

Why is he like this you think?

[Misdemeanor]

who's this u talking about merge?! moose ?

[Mikee Merge n C]

No...
Detrimental...

[Jibba]

I've heard bad stories about....

Grooverider - countless times!!!

[Mikee Merge n C]

Rider just seems exhausted and in need of a good nights kip.

[Gem]

Shabba = arsehole.

:crack:

[Jibba]

Rider just seems exhausted and in need of a good nights kip.

See my post (which was supposed to be a reply to this) called S'pose so.

And yeah Shabba is a dick. Read an article in ATM about him and his views on the DnB scene sounds like he made it in Drum n Bass Idol or something. Such a sellout.

[Mikee Merge n C]

Hahahaha!
Ello Enn Dee Oh Enn!

[vice]

MC MC. Can't believe he was ever allowed on stage in the first place. He's an embarrasment to DnB :o

Moose was always shite imho. So slow and dull and repetetetetetive.

Harsh news about Det though, he's a good MC, shame about the personality.... :fingah:

[Mikee Merge n C]

Fair enough...

Moose and MCMC were better in the early 90's before everyone got so serious!
In the days when it was all about the DJ...

yeah, back when you just wanted the MC to "host" the event kinda thing.

but these days neither of them have anything to offer imho
:(

[Manikular]

grooverider is cool. i've always had a right laugh with him when i've been to a do with him playing... i think he has a massive stigma attached to him.. his driver martin is a dude too!

[Mikee Merge n C]

I had a dream and I swear Grooverider was in it. I blame this thread!

Listen to it, play it, make it, promote it, and fucking dream it.

Merge - got problems.

[MIKEE HUSSLA]

Jumping jack frost-only bad experience really practically gripped
Ed at kinetic 1,think theirs a bit more than dnb goin on with him.
eksmans jokes!

[Mikee Merge n C]

I thought that was just because he wasn't getting his fee?!

[vice]

I was at kinetic 1!

Ed didn't quite make enough on the door to pay the big man and he did get a little pissed off

I think it got sorted in the end though

JJ lit a skunk L plan in the middle of the Coven! Cheek! :spliff:

Never bigged up Moose to much as an MC, but have always clicked with the lad as a person. Esp with regards to his hatred of Little Joe. If you have a death wish, mention Joes name to his face. :eek::ban:

I played at Kinetic 1 - it can't have been that one!

Was this Insight?

[MIKEE HUSSLA]

There was a Kinetic @ the Coven years back with JJ Frost which flopped I think.

And you thought we were all new to this !!

[dj raw]

hype used to have a bad reputation for not turning up... i've been to see him enuf times and he didn't show. but that was 97-99! hopefully he's sorted it for 2003!

[Misdemeanor]

OMG how true is that!!!!!! I remember now

Now its GQ innit. Helter Skelter wont book him anymore!

[dj raw]

lol yeah gq never seems to turn up now. a shame really cos he used to be awesome!

^ ^ that's the one i meant merge

it was tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime ago, before Ed reach the dizzy heights the jungle promotor's elite :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[Mikee Merge n C]

Yeah I knew Ed did nights in the past. I just thought they were called Insight or Semtex or something...

It seems weird that he called the April 2003 event Kinetic Part 1 then innit!

If your trying to "make it" or ever play any events outside oxford you really should think about changing your attitude.

Sorry, but to be honest my agenda is actually to make music for me and me only, and anyone who wants to hear it...

Yes - I love playing out around the country but people book *me* because they want to hear what I do, not because they like the warm touch of my lips on their buttcheeks you get me mate?!

I'm an artist, take me or leave me. I've been about long enough to know I can't be a very effective anthem-bashing-crowd-pleaser or promoters-little-helper very effectively! :D

A lot of my most respected friends work for their bookings in different ways to me, and I respect that - I don't expect people to agree with my ways of doing it!

Respect to you. :)

I used to try to get along with everybody but now I'm just doing my own thang.

Samas - take my shit with a pinch of salt - you catch me offguard too often fella.

:)

[Mikee Merge n C]

...and if you reckon I'm talking out of my arse, thats kool - just tell me why!

:)

To be honest Merge there's a difference between giving constructive critism and being rude and unhelpful.

Some of your comments are just so ridiculously unhelpfull it's untrue.

The problem is you've become a joke a to most people on here and when ever you post people just laugh about you or just see it as an excuse to abuse you.

You might not care what other people think about your music, but other people do so when you make stupid comments they get pissed off and it offends them.

I read a thread on DNBA in which you got flamed, clearly your stupid comments stretch far beyond just FTB. You might not care what people think about your music but it's human nature to care about what people think about you. It was you did care because you kept replying in the thread and 'challenged' Azonica to say his comments to your face. I mean fix up. That's an appauling attitude IMO.

This ain't beef m8, you asked for my thoughts and I'm telling you em.

Safe

[Mikee Merge n C]

Safe!

Which thread on DNBA?!
I rarely use the place. :eek:

Azonica won't say that shit to my face so why say it on DOA?!
If he really has a problem then lets talk over the phone?
Whats your number Will?!
07763383627 is mine.

I'm young at heart but I am actually up for a sensible chat [from time to time!]

When I do care about others everyone tells me not to give a fuck 'about them pussies'...

I care too much, thats my problem! :)

[Mikee Merge n C]

But, yes, as an open-minded guy I can blatantly see that I'm out of order on numerous occasions...

And I do regret things I say and do, often.

BUT - I come from a family of worriers and I'm not gonna lose sleep over throwing TEXT at some nerds sat at their PCs who don't do me any favours!

I'm just me.

Yes I might be god to some of you but theres no need to take everything I say to heart!

:funk:

If you lot knew me better you'd realise I ain't really a hater I'm just a stresshead who wants everything done yesterday!

:cool:

[Stumasta]

Fair enough.

I'm ALOT different in real life as I am on the net. Probably less so on here cause I know more people, who in turn know what I'm like.

People on the net can't be expected to instantly know what you're like. Therefore to stop offending people think about what you say.

[Mikee Merge n C]

Thats true...

I do tell myself that!

Sometimes I just lose the plot....

:rolleyes:

Anyway, sorry peeps for giving off bad vibes at all / any of you.

[Whack some tunes on then, its getting quiet in here!] :badteeth:
