Dizzy is ace lol the crap is the likes of Chipmunk.

I just been watching him on bbc2, it was a load of bollocks

Damn I had BBC1 on.

Dizzy on Jools at the moment Darlo

Thanks Jessejay

I would

Chipmunk is a wicked lyricist Anywayz dey is all frendz reppin da endz ya get me

I had two doses of the "musician" last night - he was on TOTP as well.
Absolutely dreadful

*is shocked by the Dizzee dissing!*

I think he's good!

I am not a chav.... I don't like football.

Neither do I like chipmunk, ndubz, 50cent or coolio.

I don't have a pitbull (though right now am kinda wishing I did), don't own a bluetooth earpeice, hair extensions or have a fake tan.

But don't let that stop you generalising to the max!

Disagree Frosty. And while it can be easy to make such a stereotype, it's not reflective of the truth. Some people have an eclectic taste and like a bit of everything, including urban stuff like Dizee Rascal and the like, doesn't make all of us fake burberry plaid wearing, pitbull walking chavs.

I don't own any fake Burberry nor do I own a pitbull, and at 36 am a bit old to be classed as a chav really, plus, my diamonds are real

I like him

I also like many other genres of music too

I quite like him, I wouldn't go out and buy his stuff but I'll happily listen to it on the telly or radio...and I'm into rock usually (and I think my Ramones T shirt and biker boots gets me out of being a chav) 

Indeed. I have just listened to Neil Young's 'Birds', preceded by Audioslave's 'Cochise' and to be followed by Daft Punk

I love bassline, r&b and dance music, guess that means i'm a chav.

Yep... 

I also think its important to be able to  acknowledge talent even in music I may not actually enjoy that much myself

Agree Ditty, I'm a total music freakoid anyway! But where some people just hear a load of noise, I hear art (I'm odd). Like Eminem, Chipmunk and the like, well, especially Eminem, one of the greatest lyricists ever on the scene (imho). Super friggin multi talented, but there's only a couple of tracks of his I actually like. Chipmunk, Dizzee ect, again, a load of bargain basement shite to others, but to me great production, creative and bang tidy!

well he ain't no nolans is he??......the soooooooper group ...

i actually thought dizzee rascal was a woman til i found out otherwise just before christmas...

Oh God

karms xx...

i did!!.......eldest spongette wanted his cd......an i said 'is it HER latest one?'.....she did the teenage 'god are you stupid or wot' look and sighed...'it's a bloke mum'.....

i was like.'oh...right'.......

i iz not az dahn wid da kidz as i fort.............

Spongey you never fail to make me cackle x

aw fanks xx.....i'd love to say i just made that up to get a larf......but sadly it's true......

*slinks off in shame*....

My daughter is a hardcore emowhatsit and she even like Dizzee.

The rest of what she listens to is boys in eyeliner screaming mostly (and erm, I like loads of it )

But she also likes Paolo Nutini, Dizzee, Calvin Harris...some other stuff.

She's cool 

agree 100%...    I am in awe of his lyrical talent - and yet at first listen he makes it sound so simple...  to have that just roll off your tongue... he is amazing.  

& I wouldn't class myself as heavily into rap or hip hop .... I like bits n bobs... I suppose my usual genres would be rock, and DECENT dance/garage.   But there is so much more out there...  to limit yourself is to rob yourself...  

that said... I am so ready for the next new thing that I love... really love... to come along...  a big thing, like when grunge hit us, or the emerging acid house - dance music.

I am musically a bit bored at the mo!

I'm still a grunger, I get told off by the stylish (and always beautifully turned out) Saz for my floral dress fetish that is still ongoing since 1992  

Spongey.


I had no idea who he was either until two years ago when my mate was listening to some of the music on his phone after we just finished an exam and I liked it that much I started to sing to it on the way to town, thank God hardly anyone was about.


Calvin Harris is cool Leccy.

One Friday afternoon after 3 hours down the pub we decided to have a rave in the office and we rigged up my phone speaker thingies. It was all going well with some garage and house until Mozart's Requiem came on

Tupac's music was so thought provoking.

There is nowt wrong with a floral dress

Aha! the old Makaveli. 'I aint mad atchya' - ace

it suited me... grunge.   But I will never forget the whole Nirvana thing... we'd kinda left rock behind, and were raving ( Karma - Mozarts Requiem... pmsl! )   and then "Nevermind" by Nirvana came out....   and there it was...  the 'rock' music that we could listen to after we'd been dancing all night at some do with Carl Cox on the decks!    

It was exciting!   It made you proud to be of that generation... if you know what I mean.

I was never into rave, my friends were...

My best mate was always into boybands.  Oh we must have looked a funny sight...me in my clumpy boots, dresses and massive hair...her in her sensible jeans and jumpers and the rest all in tie dye

Raving *sobs* D'ya know I missed Minstry at the O2 last night - MINISTRY?!!

Yep I have a couple of operatic works on my phone (and my PC). Blame my bossy teacher at music school for that one. Although if I've had a manic day at work I do like to sit on the train, close my eyes (to avoid eye contact mainly - a  Northern line must) and just drift off with that stuff blasting my eardrums. It depends on what mood I'm in though.

Ace DJ. I liked Brandon Block lol.

Yeah.... and Soul II Soul you said didn't you?    I have got used to it now...   it hurt last summer... there were some reunion do's locally.... by our local promotion lot...  lots of 30-40 yr olds...  havin it... then having to run home cos of the babysitter! 

And re: the classics.... I like some classical too... its the genre I rejected the most, cos my parents were bang into it... but I do like some stuff...  its hard not to.

darlo.... carl cox is the best DJ ever...  I was at a set he played at the first tribal gathering...  and it blew my mind...  me and my mate... we were dancing with the boys from 808 state!

I've always rated Paul Oakenfold also.

I like some Paul Oakenfold stuff...  

Best one has to be The Real Thing U2 remix.... and quite a few from the U2 album he remixed.
