The Blackout Crew- “Put a Donk on It”

I’m in a bit of a conundrum over this tune- how can I blog it?
and how can I not blog it?

Ok- I’ll say straight off the bat, it is completely ridiculous, and it ought to be irritating as f*ck. But instead I’m finding it bewilderingly moreish.

Is it the cheeky chippy Boltonian flow of the Blackout Crew MCs? Or the overwhelming feel-good, high energy vibe? I dunno – I’ve certainly never been a fan of happy hardcore, and this is that without a doubt- tho nowadays at least the yout can rhyme fast enough to keep up with it, what with all their grime and everything…

Maybe it just comes down to the donk- it is a great noise, even if it is completely moronic sounding when used on the off beat as it largely is here.

You tell me… am I losing it here or is this not a brilliant song? Please, I’m not joking, I REALLY DON’T KNOW and I’m scared :)

To get the full effect, check out the video below- the donk machine is particularly snazzy looking- you can just see it in the right of the youtube screenshot below…
