There's a mix by DJ Premiere that's a tribute to Malcolm Mclaren, also has an interesting interview towards the beginning about his experience in NY in the early 80s with the burgeoning hiphop scene.

Lets out him as being gay too!

perhaps someone will manufacture a malcolm doll in a coffin, like he did to sid and nancy

ooh lovely, might hunt that down!

i always get him confused with malcolm mcdowell.

dying sucks.

@Mono: I meant what did he do in relation to the chip music scene.

Hey, at least he's dead now.

He did a 10'' with Mark Denardo which also featured Tobiah and the Hardliner...Poke 1,170 has it, it's bizarre.

He didn't do anything other than bsns. That's about it. He's a bsns man. He helped bring a boy-band together and managed it, all while exploiting/distorting various definitions from ideology movements (that were already present) to a simple thing such as how people view the word "anarchy".

an·ar·chy [an-er-kee]  Show IPA
–noun
1.
a state of society without government or law.
2.
political and social disorder due to the absence of governmental control

(Note: it doesn't specifically mean chaos or hint at it. Just lack of things we are accustomed to.)

But according to most people nowadays:

anarchy =  chaos and destruction, all thanks to the then exploited/distorted "punk" movement.

People should only be praising him for his bsns and nothing more. Should be featured in bsns magazines more than anything else.

He gave an "face", an image if you will... to something that was faceless, without idols.

If you believe that deserve high praise and merits/awards, then we definitely have different point of views/morals in life.

Like what? 

I know there were collaborations... right?  For example, wasn't it mentioned in the article that he collaborated with Mark Denardo?

I'm not trying to start a debate.  In fact, I wouldn't try to defend or demonize.  I'm just really curious about all this.

What did he do?

rip mr malcolm

now maybe we can finally see all those unlicensed sex pistols videos...

He did not just voice his opinion in an article, he got involved a lot more in micromusic and did a load of things.

It's not JUST the article. As I said, people just play it by ear without first hand knowledge (and I admit mine being second hand).

I'm not even taking a side on teh old debate now, I'm just pointing out that, for most, "it's not what you think".

Oh, I see.  My lack of in depth knowledge on Mclaren then left me confused about the hate.  But I know now!

I don't think he was a genius (unless you fully believe the "talent borrows, genius steals" maxim), and I think he was quite probably a massive prick. But he had an ear for interesting sounds, and combined with his commercial nous it resulted in some music I still enjoy listening to. Not a bad legacy, all told!

(And Duck Rock is still the nuts.)
