'Neil was just The Hip Hop Guy. He bristled against that stereotyping, and his musical taste was eye-poppingly eclectic. He was just as likely to write about alt rock / art rock artists like Come and Pram' @simon_price01 pays tribute to Neil Kulkarni https://t.co/RLaLlSLaFC https://t.co/ddOfYnNUcA

Desperately sad news. Neil came across as a lovely man, someone unafraid to be himself. No filters. I could even forgive his dislike/distrust of New Order as, like everything else, he explained it with such clarity and humour. https://t.co/RzFHriWWaa
