The Show: Switch sides swiftly, then I’m onside chippin’

 

Switch sides swiftly, then I’m onside chippin’
Catch me online ’cause my team stay winning
You know how it is
They’re gonna put it in the paper like, “Which baller is this?”
I hide my face and wear the mask in the vids

What is the true identity of the supposed Premier League footballer turned masked, mystery rapper Dide?

Arsenal forward Eddie Nketiah? No chance. Unless we’re mistaken, at no point does anyone say current Premier League footballer. We’re old school – our money’s on Sir Les Ferdinand.

And on with the show…

The Show: Fricking piranhas (without laser weapons)

Guns. Gyrocopters. G Plan armchair. Stroked white pussycat. Ninjas. Spaceships. Secret base in a volcano. And fricking piranhas WITHOUT laser weapons on their heads. Fricking. Piranhas. Only Roald Dahl could have written it. And only Sean Connery could have fronted it without laughing. Genius. Evil genius. That’s right – it’s You Only Live Twice

And if that’s got you interested in celluloid we’ll be seeing you at the New Zealand International Film Festival which starts this Thursday in Christchurch.

The show: RIP MCA (1964 – 2012)

Rest in peace Adam Yauch, you crazy motherflipper.

Your voice had more gravel than a quarry, I’m sure your tongue must have been made of sandpaper, you made some crazy albums, and not forgetting that you, Mike D and Adrock gave our show its name. So thank you for the good times…
