I've started a playlist of every track I post as a "perfect song". It's a mess. Nowhere else do Michael McDonald, Suga Free, Boyz II Men, Above The Law and Maxwell sit happily together. But I promise it's nothing but bangers. open.spotify.com/playlist/2m…

"Hey Alright" by Rottin Razkaks is a perfect song.

SALUTE @Nanlib! Today I rocked my Writers hoodie for the first time in ages because the weather got colder, and the woman in the fishmonger says she loved it and then gave me one of their fancy canvas bags without charging me because she said it would be great advertising.

All the responses to this are brilliant, and lots of them better than my own suggestions. I ❤️ hip-hop

What are your favourite opening and closing lines to a rap song? My contenders - Opening: "It was all a dream" Closing: "I guess I didn't know the ledge"

We're deeply concerned that the Shadow Culture Secretary appears to be arguing for an end to almost all public investment in arts & culture. A cut of this magnitude would be unprecedented and catastrophic. We've requested a full explanation of the numbers and a serious rethink.

We will cut the arts & culture budget by £1bn in order to fund 50,000 prison places. Keeping rapists and other dangerous offenders locked up is a priority for the @Conservatives. We will always put community safety first. @RichmoMusic If you need help understanding the numbers, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Always happy to talk you through. thetimes.com/article/77bcee1…

"Uptown Anthem" Man, I... I just can't. I'm playing it right now. Naughty By Nature forever This song will never be anything less than perfection. Reminder: it's the song 2Pac asked producers to use as inspiration for the beat to Bomb First.

We should always be grateful that Wyclef and Pras didn't drop verses on 'Killing Me Softly'. Appreciated, guys.

Britain’s public service broadcaster doesn’t have a single correspondent in South America because of budget cuts, yet devotes resources to pumping out slop like this every day.

"The man" doesn't want you to talk about the fact that Aldi is running the crisp game right now. But I'll talk about it. I'll never be silenced by Big Crisp.

When I was 13 and Fresh Prince did that stuttering rap thing on "Boom! Shake The Room", my tiny mind legitimately thought it was the greatest thing I'd ever heard.
