Summary

Issue 51 of The Nut (Autumn 2015) mixes competition reportage, reflection, and personal voices from a busy rapper year. It opens with Thrale’s Rapper reporting on success and frustrations at the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod, contrasting its “show” judging with DERT values.

A substantial analytical piece explores choreography and narrative in modern rapper, drawing on American DART judging criteria.

The centrepiece interview with Peter Brown of Monkseaton reflects on judging, tradition, speed, and the “golden age” of rapper dancing.

Lighter features include a humorous Diary of a Newcomer, coverage of DERT 2016 in Manchester hosted by Medlock Rapper, and wide-ranging Rapparound news, reinforcing the scene’s vitality and self-reflection.
