Chris Yates, Journalist

At 90 years of age, Allen’s mere presence on stage is cause for wonder...

"I’ve always liked guitar-driven music more than a band with a really good drummer."

"We’re always up with technology and we’re always on the next shit."

Here's a few reasons...

Chris Yates dubs 2013 as the best year for rap since '93.

So yeah, sex genius or just creepy dude, he sure can sing.

"I knew the album title before I knew what kind of lyrics or songs the album would consist of. I’m still writing it actually. [I’m] straddling a deadline like two drifting continents.”

The set finished with a triumphant triple play of Slack MF, Hyper Enough and Precision Auto, which is more than any fan could have asked for.

The songs are fantastic, the performance perfectly restrained and he keeps the whole thing so classy it’s hard not to revel in it wholeheartedly.

It’s an astonishing record that mashes so many ideas culturally and musically and builds on her already impressive discography in all the right ways.
