the rollin with the nines s/t has some ok stuff, i like that akala & ms dynamite one. even if the film itself is i suspect very very tiresome it would be cool for brit urban world to bring more interest-inviting soundtracks out to intro ppl to new/old mcs, not unlike rap did with regularity in the 90s, often having a fwd-thinking and no doubt fabulously tokenistic regional exposure angle which didnt really happen on straight compilations at the time. i dont think i loved any artist albums in 96-97 as much as i loved the sunset park and high school high s/ts.

anyway more interestingly heartless crew dedicated their whole show to rollin with the nines on sunday, brought kano in to spit etc. so i switched on a little way thru to hear ras kwame having a blazing row with some guy involved with the film!? (didnt hear who the guy was - can anyone tell me?) i think ras said the movie wasnt positive enough or something and this guy was like

'do u play drums? do u play guitar?'

'no'

'well why are you here then??'

'heartless crew invited me'

IT DIDNT MAKE ANY SENSE especially cos ras could have legitimately said, 'I'M M-DUBS MOTHERFUCKER i did the era defining rmx of "bump & grind"!!!', except he didnt. the show has not been archived by the bbc, OOOH CENSORSHIP.
