I don't think #BBC are lying as such here, but they using a limitation of their own playout system to reduce reputation damage - full track details of new artists aren't always logged on the playout systems they use (I've seen this happen with my own eyes) so its easy to deny that a certain track was played. #BBC (and #Ofcom) really do need to have a good hard look (and listen) at what kind of music they promote on #Radio1 #drillmusic #crime #London >>
This whole #drill #rap scene is a difficult situation for me (I'm a former DJ and was heavily into rap myself in the 80s, before discovering the #rave scene!). I don't like #censorship, but #grime and #drill have taken all the most dysfunctional elements of the rave scene and amplified them ( particularly #ToxicMasculinity and #GangCulture ), and young people are regularly getting killed for trivial reasons - its surely not something a #PSB should be encouraging in any form?
