Meet my new arch enemy, Andrew Flintoff. Here's a little article in The Sun about him blaming rap and immigration for the ills of society.
At 2.55am I called up Talksport to balance some of their callers racist views. Here is the audio, its pretty short. The caller after me was basically how the rest of the people were going on.
Enjoy.

Mate, you got this wrong, Freddie is right when he says: "I think rap music has a lot to do with it. It makes it sound cool not to conform, and to be violent"
Grime does glamourise crime - that is true, you can't argue it doesn't
Tinchy says/used to say: "let me see your gun fingerz" how does that NOT encourage gun use, it definitely don't help people to stop using guns.
Notice how he doesn't use them lyrics on his commercial releases, that's cos he has more respect for the mainstream than he does for underground. Who does Tinchy think he is? He thinks it's acceptable to whip up such negative energy in the grime community just to help him sell.
As black underprivileged people we generally suffer from problems that stem from our scoial circumstances eg certain types of crime are more prevelant in certain communities - that's why you don't see 'rich' people carrying out burglaries but you may see them doing fraud.
Let's accept that as black underprivileged people this is a situation we have created for ourselves and try to address it. Grime is good but it don't have to be bad - or does it? - 2 June 2009 at 09:16

Might as well join in then ...
The US = BIG
The UK = Small
Eminem talking about killing his wife and putting her in the boot is entertaining.
Giggs talking about taking off people's headtops and covering them in ketchup suddenly becomes real life.
EITHER WAY - Violence has BEEN happening, still happens & will happen.
We've been raised to believe that anything overseas isn't real and is pure entertainment and can be laughed at, however as soon as 'Rap / Hip Hop / Grime' came over here people became very uncomfortable about it now being on their doorstep.
Personally I believe it is parents who are at fault for not raising their children correctly.
I've been listening to rap from the age of 9 ... to this day I still haven't killed someone (I SWEAR) or run up into a rave and stabbed anyone for stepping on my shoes.
If YOU choose to listen to Ghetto and proceed to buss 1, 2, 3 etc - that is NOT his fault.
You're the dickhead. - 3 June 2009 at 13:45

Nah but in many ways rappers and MCs are responsible. especially cos they know it.. and are massive hypocrites when they write anti-violent songs, 2 minutes after talking about drawing for thier tool. Music should be a response to the violence they see (like boy in the coner) not chattin shit bout killin people.. when you dont.. thats y they all chat breeze and should just stop... look at n-dbz and tinchy stryer.. theres a reason why theyve mame the familys proud.. rather than making the grime forum proud, and ending up in jail or even worse dead

Hi Butterz
PLEASE DON'T POST THIS, STICTLY CONFIDENTIAL I JUST WANT YOU TO READ IT.
But here's what Reggie Yates said: "Why do people in my barber shop always argue about the dumbest Tish. Its like a black only Jeremy Kyle audience audition..."
That is racsist ignorant dumb sh*t from a guy who speaks like a twat on national radio - but I don't see anyone getting at Reggie Yates for such statements - you should lowwe Freddie Flintoff cos what he said is real and deal with people like Reggie cos what he said ain't real. -

Wow the scottish dude made me crease HARD! hes so ignorant, when the man asked him if he has listened to rap music he even said no.. wtf.
These people say grime is responsible because grime artists are giving them the chance.. I dont really listen to grime but there are some good grime tunes- but stop making tunes about dumbness like shankin people etc. enough people have died because of knives and if your spittin about shankin people then of course the media is gonna say you in support of it! - 3 February 2010 at 20:58
