MC Rant time!

just been listening to the Fergus set from the 4th b.day party and the Gollum set at Uprising.....

Now, i know i have said this before but........ HOW the hell does MC Natz and other "certain Yorkshire" MC's get gigs??? Why dont they ever shut up? Why cant u understand a word they say? (sorry except for "bom bom, da day, shuggiewuddiewump-a-day)

U cant hear any of the tunes for the inane dribble! Give me Sharkey, Ribbz, E-Z, Odyysee, anyone else any day. Storm even... well maybe not :laughing:

Someone please explain how they get away with it? Natz has been on the go for years, has no one ever told him to SHUT UP for 5 minutes or just even talk some sense?

sheesh! rant over for now........

odyssey? u kidding? has he changed his style then? that twat used to scream and scream and never stop talking. i had happy tapes and trance one with him destroying them far worse than natz ever did.

must be honest. natz is 50/50... some vibealite sets he is clear and doesnt say much. i noticed he speaks a lot more at the gypsy events of uprising/diz/pleasuredome than others....i guess he does what pleases the crowd?

i remember a set with j d walker who said 'some mcs think ravers are stupid, but i'm going to speak clearly and make sense' (or something to that effect) ...

c j glover is prob the noisiest mess of all time. u heard the noya set with him b2b with storm? he ruins an awesome selection of tuneage with his shite. in fact ill upload the set just so you can sit there in disbelief.

i think sharkey ruined the gollum set tbh. he was too wrecked and his voice was cracking and shit. he was messed up on clarkee - energy '98 but it sounded good.

ribbz and squidgy rock, although i think ribbz should have said more on the hardcore techno sets than he did.

is deffo one for the northen boys, i heard only a phew and to be honest some of it is comedy,and a little of it does go well at times, but its rambling :laughing: apparently they are gods :notworthy: where's jayb he's used to this rant style :briggin:

forgot about MC Squidgy "Hyper Hyper thats the way we like ya" B, another top notch mc. But imo no one tops Ribbz, minimalistic, the way an mc should be.

Have to be honest, really like Sharkey on the Gollum tape, its the only Gollum set i can bare to listen to. There must be some german Gollum sets on the go somewhere without MC's. For someone of his Hard Trance standing there are very few recordings about that i have seen....shame.

While i am on my soap box, who all listened to the Gary D sets that were posted? Was it just me or was it they the worst mixed sets u have ever heard??

didnt think they were that bad...

some bad mixes, but difficult tunes as well..

not denying that mate, just expected a bit more from the likes of Gary D.

Cracking tunes tho! :ruevil:

I just gotta say i hate all them MC's from Lincolnshire & Yorkshire! The amont of tapes ive got and they have been wrecked by MC's like Natz, Motivator to name afew. I wish promoters would stop booking them.

Some people especially most of those queueing to get their 30 seconds of fame in the yorkshire area please f**king stop it. It's annoying irritating & completely unnecessary.
Its NOT ABOUT YOU you funkin monkeys its ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC.

So true

In my opinion i recon the best northern mc had to be jd walker even then he ripped off all the old school hip hop mc's. im mean the real ones not the shit that flies about now.

The mc used to get the crowds going i must admit ,but look at it like this... back then no one even give a **** if the tune was mixed... now adays the dj's get ripped to pieces if they crack out of beat etc... mcs moved the crowd about they were like a conductor in a band, eg-- whistle crew, horns crew, and all that shite

Take for instance m zone. heard some quality stuff by him also heard some utter shite... same with mc's

Times change thats the low down in my opinion.

Aye Mr Asylum. I couldn't agree with you more. I've got nowt (pardon the pun!!) against MC's from Yorkshire or anywhere else in particular, but it used to do my nut in, mind one time a fews years back got a 4 tape back from Slamin' Vinyl, with M-Zone, Mark EG, Scorpio and I think Producer. Got back home, stuck the M-Zone tape on first and it had some f**k-wit of an MC who sounded like that Ashley c*nt off Coronation St. with a stupid squeaky voice.
I just took it straight back to the shop. He f**kin' ruined the whole thing!!!!:rufinger: :colere:

RIBBZ n SI the SIGH,SHARKEY PROPER MCs

RIBBZ = allwys smiles and gets invloved with the ravers,minimal

SI the SIGH= first herd him Mc to Ben Eye set at North..God bless the man he sez the rigth words at the right times awsome

SHARKEY= a man who needs no introduction haha off his head and off the top of his head random haha,you can stick him in any form of music and hes sound aswsome,allso makes me laff like fuk

I cant believe that im the only one to have an opinion on how JD WALKER was,,,,,, he was one of the old school from the northern rave scene .... one of the original.... all these mc's you talk about were tagging behind him for years.. including NATZ

What ever happend to mc nrg he was'nt too bad

im not a fan of the yorkshire mcs on tapes but to give them credit due the atmosphere they generate when you here them live is pretty impressive. The couple of uprisings I went to a few years ago really got the crowd going including myself.

To be honest squidgy B is by far the best imo. Squidgy B has a knack of hyping the crowd without actually saying much. Ribbz and sharkey are not as good as they used to be. Prolly as sharkeys not getting as battered as he used too! Saying that ive pissed myself with some of his one liners in the past.

Hate MC's!! Shouldnt have them at all imo! Just does your box in when your enjoying the tunes but you gotta listen to a load of bollocks over-powering the music! Can make do with minimal MCs but most of them shout anyway. If i could choose i wouldnt have them

I must admit I have never been to fond of MC'S but I have always like Ribbz, NRG but can also put up with Squidgy B and Frosty and there are one or 2 tapes when Natz and Frosty have been ok but as a rule those northen lot ruin sets.

There are a few MC,S in Hereford that drown out the music with the crap they shout out.

he still going dude ;)

still the same,i like NRG myself

NRG is amazin on that Mark EG Slammin Vinyl vs Hardcore Heaven Rematch. Odyssey is pretty good too, just has me pissing myself with laughter, some of the shit he comes out with. Ribbz, Sharkey, Ezy, Squidgy B, Double Zero, Jester, Frosty are all mint Mcs
But the worst MC ive heard is on Dreamscape 33, Mark EG set.
Dont even know his name, but he totally ruins the tape with his annoying voice and horrid attempts at vocal scratching. That,, luckily is the only tape ive heard him on as he probably got kicked off stage and told never to speak again
