一年一度的「時裝界奧斯卡」又到了，2019 Met Gala在紐約大都會博物館慈善晚宴以「Camp: Notes on Fashion」為主題，由Gucci創意總監Alessandro Michele與Lady Gaga和Harry Styles共同主持，這組合當然是會以浮誇為主軸作主題風格。今年，主題則被定為「敢曝：時尚筆記」（Camp: Notes on Fashion）。這個詞彙與主題靈感來自於 1964 年美國作家Susan Sontag 所撰寫的文章 Notes On 「Camp」，文中提到Camp一詞是對非自然之物的熱愛，是種對誇張事物的欣賞，一般Camp的中文譯成「侃皮」、「敢曝」，聽起來有點抽象？簡單來說可以用「以浮誇而達到戲劇化效果」，後來延伸成為一種審美標準和身份認同，成為一種非典型美學、惡趣味的風格。但「Camp」這個字在廣東話的應用便有點貶義了。這個難以掌握的風格看來也不是所有來賓都吃得消，下面看看今年最難明白的造型呢。
An essay by Susan Sontag, Gucci the creative direction. This Met Gala was the perfect theme for all to let the monkey out. Be the fantasy! Boy did some people trip the F up! Perfection doesn’t leave much room for humor or cynical laughs though so we happy as F some people didn’t get the memo or didn’t know how to read the memo. Check it out if you can stomach it all!
作為主辦人之一的Harry並沒有穿出如Lady Gaga的驚喜、也沒有Alessandro Michele的華麗。單純的一個話題性造型。// As the co-host of this event, Harry Styles tops our list with this tragic outfit by Gucci. See if Gaga has a spare for you son.
一條奇怪的裙子。//What is this piece by Balmain. This looks like a real attempt at sophistication. It’s just not good which doesn’t make it ‘Camp’. Bad is bad.
Let us break bread. Let us laugh at our follies, celebrities, those less fortunate, our weaker moments. Basically look in the mirror. PAUL’S CORNER. APRIL 28, 2019

Bun Dem – Lord Juco ft. Falcon Outlaw (prod. by Ol Man 80zz)
https://lordjuco.bandcamp.com/track/bun-dem-ft-falcon-outlaw
Interview : Nick D
We caught this track on the strength of FalconCrest being involved in the mix. Lord Juco’s name had a familiar ring already, having featured on Chong Wizard’s, The Power Stone EP. Ol’ Man 80zz? I swore Jordan C. had his production in a Top10EN, but it must have been his clever flip on the Zig Zag logo that got stuck in the mind! I digress.
To the matter at hand though, Lord Juco’s, ‘Bun Dem’ is a track that exemplifies a stylistic sound of Toronto. That Hip Hop inflected with a strong Caribbean/West Indies vibe. This banga is straight head nod with a minimal beat of 80% slap your skull up drums, and some sinister keys. Lord Juco sets it off callin’ an end to the fxckery he sees, ‘you hide like Anne Frank… put you in a hole like Hussein’. Big Falcon Outlaw fills throughout with his patois chant, and closes with a second verse reinforcin’ why you don’t bring it ’round here. This is some straight 90’s Smif N Wessun ish (Not a Toronto group lol)!
Since all heads were from the Toronto area. We figured why not get all hands on deck to share some insight on the track for ya’ll. Chop it up about some basketball since the Raptors are in the playoff hunt with some real possibilities, and just share a few down to earth recommendations about the city for you readers. Things like some spots to hit on a night out, and where to grab a hearty plate! A Hip Hop guide to Toronto, truly!
