Example Sentences

"British rapheads do not usually have a great appreciation for rap acts with a pop edge. And having credits that include a stint MCing for Belgium’s hugely successful pop-dance group Technotronic is something that’s best not mentioned in hip-hop circles."
"Right as I was putting Little Bobby in the oven I was also dropping my other baby: I published my first novel, Supermarket. I dropped a soundtrack to go with it. That was fucking annoying because I had a bunch of rappers and rapheads going, “Yo, this shit sucks!” because they were judging it like it's a hip-hop album, which it isn’t at all."
