GLC - Half Man Half Machine

[@Doubleelforbes]

First heard this album in my first year of uni. I used to have half my doob on the way to the bus and finish the other half on the way to the lecture. This came on, on the headphones and I just cracked up. Fucking doubled up laughing on a bus full of people. Thanks GLC!

[@BelatedCommiseration]

They are not really known for tragic songs old Goldie looking chain (although there is a certain amount of patho's sometimes) but I reckon this is a pretty tragic song really...bloody funny lyrics of course, but ultimately it is about a bloke going insane and thinking he's a robot...probably wouldn't be as funny if it didn't have that underlying theme and just goes to show how under rated Goldie looking chain are...just because they don't take themselves seriously doesn't mean there aren't layers to the songs.

[@designportal674]

There's no layers mate its about getting fucked on drugs not because of poverty but for a laugh.

[@despicablenerd]

This is awesome. Without doubt the greatest band ever from wales.

[@Dr.not.anywhere]

100000 times better than tom Jones

[@NOBODY-cn6fj]

Stereophonics ??

[@emilygilbeyful]

Ahh this takes me back to my late teens and eating soapbar space cakes (you knows it Delia Smith!) in my metro!

[@thegreathoffman16]

Best 10 quid i ever spent was watching these in manchester haha never laughed so much

[@silverballer1911]

Did u swallow

[@diafol87]

[@louchy]

[@andy7666]

The only "contemporary" music that got in the charts I've ever given any attention to (and I have some good taste!) - got the first two albums, fookin love the Chain!

[@pearl5girl]

This song cracks me up... GLC you are true legends!!!

[@inkeyfisted4537]

Toucan club in Cardiff is where I 1st seen these boys. Open mic/freestyle on a Thursday was next level. Must be about 20 years ago now. Ruffstylz, Ralph rip shits, humrak D gritty,

[@benjaminwatts5525]

Remember the first time I downloaded this song off Kazaa or 'old Napster' back in the day and literally nearly pissing myself with laughter in my bedroom at my parents house. Classic! Still love it and remember every lyric! Just heard Fresh Prince of Cwmbran for the first time. Amazing! Big up Newport Clart!! Respeck from the Information Station, innit!!

[@berberadventures]

Still funny years later. :)

[@ParanoiDave]

Actually greatest hits was their 7th release and was literally a bunch of remastered and re-recorded songs from the Previous 6 self-released albums. They're pretty damn hard to find original copies from but they're all floating about online somewhere.

[@onlywhenprovoked]

Yes, I sat through the whole video. Original is a word that comes to mind.

[@XxXmotionsXxX]

Only in Wales fellas ;) Proud to be Welsh

[@johnsmith-kq9or]

euugh... I fucking hate Welsh patriotism. I mean even if Wales was a great country, what the fuck has a decent rap group born in the same area of land as you got anything to do with your achievements, or that of Wales?

[@MalakianTNW]

john smith You could apply that same logic to English patriots, or in fact any nation. Pity more people don't have your logic. How can people be proud to be from Wales? They had absolutely no say in it whatsoever. Strange

[@johnsmith-kq9or]

Well pretty much every Welsh person I've ever met is a patriot of Wales, whereas barely anybody in England is.

[@chdreturns]

Patriotism is stupid anywhere... Ugh the shit you put up with in america with all the flags flying and shit... FUCK PATRIOTISM

[@ReverendHowl]

There is a self depreciating quality to some Welsh humour that shines forth in GLC, it's not so much that we Taffies think, say, imply or believe that we are better than you, it's just that we're lots better at being crap than you are.

[@cj198821]

OMG never dies this classic i used to live there to lol BIG UP GLC

[@sorae1991]

[@MrMeon]

GLC are fuckin mint! The start of this tune always cracks me up. "You can't go down the shop like that man, you got fuckin tin foil wrapped round your fuckin head" Awesome!

[@takeuchi40]
