"I tap the bottle and twist the cap". What does that mean?, 2 Oct 2005
Holy moly, talk about rap! Let me tell you right now that Richard Blackwood delivers on his promise that you'll "Love To Hate This"; I do love to hate it, wow! The greatness of Blackwood can only be described as questionable at best, what a man. The first time I heard of Richard Blackwood I quickly forgot him, and the next time I heard of him I forgot him almost instantly. But now that I'm in possession of his masterwork I have no hope of forgetting him, and no reason to purchase another CD ever again in my whole lifetime ever! I was going to buy a CD autochanger for my Ford Trevscort, but what's the point when there's only one album I'm interested in listening to? Since opening my ears, eyes, heart and bowels to Richard Blackwood's sweet rap my life has been the very definition of woeful. My friends think I'm a raving nut job, a veritable psychotic social misfit, but they are missing out on classic rap tunes such as "Mama Who Da Man", and let's not leave out the ultimate in rap expression "1234 Get With The Wicked". Richie's songs make my knees go weak, my tongue hang out and my swangle go stiff with excitement! Allow yourselves to be taken in and beaten by this man's groundbreaking rap talent, he is da bomb!It's all cool in the gang! That Richard Blackwood runs the show there is no doubt, the show of course being his ill received 'comedy' sketch and stand up hybrid that failed to entertain anybody on Channel 4. Yet his music is bringing joy to millions, and pain to billions (probably). Can you remember the dark days before RB was knocking down barriers between upper and lower classes with his bizarre street style rap talk and heavy attitude, despite coming from a middle class over privileged back ground? Thought not. His bombastic fantastic elastic plastic rapping releases waves of emotion from all who can bear to listen. "Mama Who Da Man" gives insight into his warped mind as he fearlessly jive talks through his colon and into the white ceramic bowl of the UK music fans ears. How much the UK rap scene truly owes to Blackwood cannot be imagined, but if you were forced to imagine it then perhaps the conclusion would be that the UK rap scene owes him a large dose of derision with a small portion of violent lambasting. "1234 Get With The Wicked " is my all time favourite of all time ever in the history of time....ever. It would be easy for me to wax lyrical about how this (c)rap song has enriched my existence, but I'd be lying because it has in actuality reduced me to a quivering wreck of a man, a shadow of my former self. No longer can I walk with pride through my local Anne Summers or Private Lines without spontaneously breaking into a rage fuelled chorus of "Can I get a ooh ooh!", or "RB runs the shoooow!". The general public understandably treat me and my very nice wife with hatred, pity, anger and piles cream. What I'm trying to say is please give Richard Blackwood a chance, his sweet music could lift your spirits or crush your soul, but only time will tell. Give the RB meister the opportunity and he will run your show and steal your heart with his rhyming nonsense and chocolate chip disco rap, HE DA MAN!
