I look to a day when songs will not be judged by their genre, but by the content of their lyrics.

It's nothing to do with it being rap "music".

So why IS the BBC promoting it?]


[Stab first then talk...On flight-mode when
we walk...Chest or back we’ll rip his
face offI’ll put holes in your back.’
The lyrics are brutal and the
music is ‘drill’ — a raw and aggressive form
of British rap with accompanying videos
that feature balaclava-wearing men waving
weapons and detailing the bloody reality
of life on the streets.

For Sharon Kendall, the words of the
song Dip First (‘dip’ being slang for ‘stab’),
by a drill rapper associated with
a gang in the Rayners Lane
area of North-West London,
the lyrics were heart-wrenchingly

Her 18-year-old son Jason Isaacs
was killed near Rayners Lane by
teenagers who stabbed him
in the back, arms and legs.]
