Loud MC-like noises!

[charlottekb]

Has anyone got a clue what that MC-ing is all about that I noticed last Wednesday, and this Wednesday and Thursday after about 5pm? It spreads right across Sainsburys car park and all through the houses close by and it is really really really annoying! Its a constant shouting person to the background of really crappy music that depending on where you stand is really loud! Is it some kind of yoof club, or just some annoying scabby gits polluting our atmosphere with this crap? Please I really dont want to sound like an old whingebag, but it is seriously offensive and hard to locate where it is coming from?!

It's me and my mates doing it actually - it's part of our GCSE in Gangsta Rap! We have hired out the Dulwich Nursery, and are rapping in the nappy changing room through an enormous coned toilet roll! We're doing it every Wednesday and Thursday from 5pm - come and join in! Ya get me?

I suspect it's coming from the Dog Kennel Hill playground. I know a guy who works there, and does a lot with the local kids. I understand your complaint, at least it's giving them something to do! Otherwise they'd be hanging around the streets.

I wonder if the new dkh bespoke homes brochure mentioned the Loud MC-like noises! feature on the ground floor? Probably not.

[mockney piers]

What the hell is a bespoke home when it's, err, at home anyway?

It's either every home that's ever been built, or more it's the likes of the Californian beach home on Grove Lane, but surely it's stretching things to apply it to a bunch of boxy prefabricated flats.

Unless bespoke is some sort of euphemism for eyesore?

[Mark]

Bespoke Homes are the company that built it

This brought a smile to my face, here's their impression of how the development would look and where the Loud MC-like noises youth club is is exactly where they've drawn some "youths". Brilliant!

[fractionater]

Have to agree though that MC'ing stuff is nonsense! what are they teaching those yoot's to do?...become noise polluters and gangsta rappers/MC's when they got older!

And then they wonder why we have such high gun crime and gang violence!

Teach them some useful life skills!

[ratty]

I see we have been dressed up like Victorian children. How offensive! You can't even see my Mach-10! Tsch!

[charlottekb]

Seriously! Does anyone hear what I'm on about ever? And are we really to think its some funky kind of yoof club getting 'real' with the skids???

[fractionater]

Not heard it round the Goose Green way.

Have you been for a walk about to find the source? You could always politely tell them to turn it down...Just make sure you don;t get shot though!

[Mark]

now you know where it is perhaps you could pop along and see exactly what it is, it may be MC Jesus teaching bible studies in a rub-a-dub stylee...

[Joe likes dinner]

although those pesky estate agent types have conned us into thinking the rappers are actually charaters from the railway children, or the well-behaved kids from tom brown's school days. Subliminally making us think of good transport links and aspirational rural ambience of dulwich village. Nice.

[charlottekb]

As you correctly point out Fractitioner, I may get shot if I persue said Loud MC-like noises! It does seem to be coming from direction of the new flats as illustrated above. Thanks for helpful hints and tips anyway folks!

maybe they,re entrants in the "white lady" lookalike competition.

"Many youngsters congregate around the area of the new bespoke home bringing an artistic and exhuberent energy to the area. The Mcing (modern day poetry) is a speciality and as sure as your woken up to the dawn of the day by beautiful choral East Dulwich birds, these youngsters will send you to sleep with some hard hitting lyrics of life on the street"

An Except fron the latest sales brochure

You should consider forwarding that to Private Eye Pseuds' Corner!

Top Class

Haven't heard the Mcing yet but a couple of months back there was an organised rap party/music event in Dulwich Hamlets car park. Loads of lights and speakers the size of your house lasting till about 12.30pm. Our windows were vibrating!!

[tiddles]

It is kids at the adventure playground. Admittedly a bit noisy however it's not every day. Loads of kids (and not just 'the estate ones') use this place, which has been here for years. There will be alot of very angry parents and bored youngsters if the new flats in any way interfere with the playground. I can't help feeling the planning process for that building was somewhat dodgy and it would be the icing on the cake if they tried to shut down a valuable play space.

Nothing wrong with "playing" in a playground.... everything wrong with 'MC'ing' in a playground though... it plants the seeds of gangsta culture from a young age!... hence all the knife and gun troubles we have today.... Peace & Piece!

[Keef]

That's not true! If these teenagers are doing some MCing, and someone has the time to let them do it, and express themselves, then good on them. What would they be doing otherwise???

It's not like giving a greasy long haired tenn a guitar is going to lead them in to heavy drugs and trashing hotel rooms!

"It's not like giving a greasy long haired tenn a guitar is going to lead them in to heavy drugs and trashing hotel rooms!"

are you sure about that... :)

[Keef]

Well not all of them.... Do you know me nutty?!?!?!? :-S

[fractionater]

why not just give them some spray paint and let them 'express themselves' through Grafitti whilst you're at it then!

[Keef]

What like Banksey, who has taken it upon his arrogant self to travel the world, and impose his art on everyone whether they like it or not! Sorry, slightly off topic, but I hate that tw@t!

I actually don't mind a bit of graffiti, which is why the playground is suck a great place for them, as they can MC, and it's covered in quality old skool art! B)
