golden ages because it inherently signifies that something is longer at its peak. I think the same is true with hip hop. I think its golden age was its inception in the early 70s and then it peaked in the late 80s with records like 3 Feet High and Rising, Paul’s Boutique and Straight Outta Compton. To me, the rap that you hear on the radio now doesn’t really have a lot to do with hip hop culture in its original form, and I don’t think there’s anything controversial in saying that. I think that for the most part, it’s had its day. That doesn’t mean that it’s not worthy of people’s energy or anything like that. I very strongly believe that it’s important not to live in the past exclusively and to continue to engage new music wherever the innovations are happening, whether it’s grime, footwork or whatever genre.’ In Davis’ eyes, hip hop may have lived through its golden era, but he remains a key proponent of the genre, both via his own releases and his passion for the history of the culture. The tour for Our Pathetic Age will undoubtedly be a great chance to catch the master at work, a man who remains refreshingly humble after all these years despite still being a massive inspiration for new generations of DJs and crate diggers around the world.
‘Honestly, I’m excited to come out as well and I do feel grateful,’ he says. ‘When I first started making music and going overseas, I felt very fortunate and somehow through all these years, I feel even more fortunate in the sense that I couldn’t have drawn this up. I feel very lucky to be able to have an outlet to express myself and my ideas about music. So it’s nothing but total gratitude from me.’
