YFs are right there in the middle of the question: what is your I.D.? Why claim to speak for a dispossessed white or black class or group or generation? When you can only ever speak for yourself. There are no celebrations of dole queue theatre, no fake politics - there’s no need. These are grown men, battle fit and in their prime. ‘Passionate pranksters, always entertaining’. The album found itself being recorded in a hotel room in Illinois, a rehearsal room in Melbourne, a freezing cellar in Berlin, a photographic studio in London and their normal hole in the ground basement in Edinburgh.
Yep, awards etc and they played around 130 shows, from Paris to Sydney, via both Portlands and Paisley, too. Don’t be afraid.Ģ014 was an interesting year for the group. But YFs lob raps into songs that morph into sung verses then back into the tune, with no respect, none! for the law. Why, for fuck’s sake? Where is the hiphop? It slides in, like a reverse version, a negative, of the hiphop blueprint of eight verses and a sweet, female wail of a hook (while comedy rapper number 6 mutters ‘uh huh, uh huh’, you know, keeping it real). ‘Is that what they mean by pop’? you ask yourself. It sounds as if you are in the room during the recording, possibly experiencing a little existential trauma, but not enough that you don’t notice an earworm hook when you hear one. The sounds are closer on this album, closer to your ears.
Microphone technique: orders from the sound engineer: “do NOT cup the mic!”. No, you don’t box in the R&B Hits 2003 generation that easily. So… Young Fathers are breaking out of the ghetto.įor the purposes of this mission, this album, this "White Men Are Black Men Too", is rock and pop.
GAY PORN BLACK TWINK FUCK BLACK TWINK SKIN
If you are a blue and green eyed boy from Brixton with the sallowest of white skin you can become the epitome of crystalised soul, itself. In Rock and Pop you are allowed to pretty much be yourself. They have to go to the place where Beck makes a sandwich with The Beach Boys and Captain Beefheart, where Faust and The Fall tango. When the sci-fi 20’s ‘Urban’ might as well be the atomic 50’s ‘Race’, when R&B has no blues and hiphop is a boom bip with a shorty, a hoe, it’s off to the street corner we go… where does a group like Young Fathers, who ‘picknmix from the popular music sweety shop and fly no flags and swear allegiance to no country’ (© - 100 interviews with the group in 2014) - where do they go? You probably want to know what that’s doing there, right? Well… (breathes) when everything is post post post post something older and better where do the exceptions go? (Exhale). Please read the accompanying words, straight from Alloysious’ mouth.Īnd then the sticker on the vinyl and CD: ‘file under Rock and Pop’. Let’s get that title out of the way first: " White Men Are Black Men Too". Indeed, there’s no denying the look of sheer delight in Negba’s eyes as this dude indulges on that big fat African jock for the second time in his life – some chaps, it appears to be, have all the fucking luck! For all such intricate foreplay, however, you just know that the young stalwart’s ultimate aim is to acquire himself impaled on Master’s unbelievably proportioned booty-slayer and having toyed with pushing his own dick through the mask’s mouthpiece, finally receives his chance to press down on the big dark sword for some other ride.“Don’t run away… don’t hesitate for a second”. Anonymous sex has always had an fantastic attraction for lustful dong-whore, Ron Negba and during the time that putting a mask on Slavemaster XXL previous to the two of 'em have a pleasure a hot session together might not exactly constitute sex with a total stranger, that fantasy remains a potent theme here for the dude as that lad sucks on the gracious hunk’s nipps, kisses his ripped abs and torso, and finally sinks his face into the fellow’s crotch to savour every deliciously rock hard inch on offer.
