I have one of Sir Menelik's Rawkus EPs (Physical Jewels) and that is only
so-so. The Cylcops 4000 cut I heard was great with weird, techno-style
synth and strange noises. I am waiting with curiosity to hear him drop a
d'n'b style record. This leads me to a question: are hip-hop fans (not the
critics) receptive to the weirder stuff like Dr. Octagon, Sir Menelik and
the like? Some of this stuff is brilliant and it would be ashamed to have it
die from lack of support.
