"It's to show people, maybe who even live where I do, what's going on around their corner - adults just think they know, but they look at it from a newspaper point of view. I'm deep in, but I've got a brain, and I don't just want people from the estate or even the country I'm from to understand. I'm trying to give a perspective, from outside-in and inside-out. The best thing about the album is that there's loads of questions to be asked that haven't been asked before. I'm just saying, this is what I know. This is the hand life dealt me. Did you know?"


yes, it's more Dizzee Rascal

(my only quibble with the article above is the implication that he's the first strange, genre-less black English music. Tricky Kid, we hardly knew ye)

Gangster? What, because he's black? Fuck off. He's a poor kid from London who bounced in and out of public schools until finally a music teacher noticed him and taught him some things. (Which could happen a lot more often if schools didn't always cut their music and art programs to save money.) He's a musician, idiot.

See, I wasn't referring to his race at all. But you are so quick to jump on me for it.
Apparently, you think little of yourself and those around you. Otherwise you would not think me an idiot.
Now, don't you feel better about yourself for trying to belittle me?
And, by the way, I am a musician. Idiot.

Yeah, I like Mr. Lif pretty well from what I've heard. A lot of that Def Jux stuff has cool crazy music and arrangements.
