yeah i always tried to gloss over that aspect of the nonce. never cared much about WC and the maaad circle but it didn't escape my attention all the same
I will always wonder about that dude's choice of name.
Did this dude not think to try google before deciding to go with 'Nonce' ?
naw, you're right. It was all part of a movement in LA. Young rap groups with deviant names. For example... The Wascals, The Whooliganz, and The Sex Offenders. They thought Sex Offenders didn't have a good ring to it, so they googled some alternatives and stuck with Nonce.
Actually The Nonce, is (was) two dudes, and google came into existence 3 years after their debut album was released. Also, I doubt those dudes were concerned with british slang, much less even knowing the existence of such slang.
The different versions of it are quite different, unfortunately so, but I am guessing they were rolling with something like this:
The one or single occasion; the present reason or purpose (now only in for the nonce).
Cool song, thanks-- I've been wanting to hear it for a good minute. Something about the ethereal feel of most Nonce tracks makes me extra sad thinking about Yusef Afloat's death...
And I'm honestly puzzled that I never made the WC connection until now. from the experience I guess...
my personal favourite is probably the drugs episode where he gets the anti-CAKE campaign going. bernard manning talking about "one poor bastard coughed up his own pelvis", noel edmonds exclaiming that "cake is a made up drug"
"They fill the shops with rice, then they pour in water..."
What I want to know is how you feel about other people who are feeding off the same ... carcass. People who make computer games like 'The Last Chase' where you play a paparazzo chasing a car through a tunnel, subtitle of the game 'Snap The Dying Bitch'.
