DIZZEE RASCAL ON NEWSNIGHT: SILENCES PAXMAN

There’s a lot going on in this clip:

*Dizzee talks on the fact that HipHop was one of the main factors that helped Obama get into power.
*Jeremy Paxman – Lost for words…….This guy is one of the toughest interviewers in the world, check the uncomfortable silence each time Dizz finishes talking. He wasn’t ready.
*The woman in the screen next to Dizz is not impressed at all.
*Jeremy asks why Dizz doesn’t run for the job for Prime Minister. A lot of Politicians must have twitched, dropped their drink, had a heart attack etc. at the thought of this lol!

However, Dizzee has got the internet goin’ nuts. There’s a few Facebook groups, slamming him, Black execs upset that he portrayed Black people in the wrong light, etc. so here we go…..

THE ARTIST OPINIONS

The Marvin opinion.

The Bashy opinion.

The Tinchy Stryder opinion.

The Semtex opinion:
It’s great that Obama got in, but remember it is politics. He has a lot to prove, and hopefully the same people that voted for him will stay with him throughout the good and the bad times. I just hope the youth that voted for him and the artists that backed him don’t get played like a lot of UK artists did when they backed Blair years ago.

Jeremy Paxman: Do you consider yourself to be British?

Dizzee Rascal: Course im British, wot…….you know me.

What is the correct answer for this? should he have kissed Jeremy’s arse? please someone let me know. Dizz held it down in this interview, you ask a sarcastic question, you get a sarcastic answer, the Political game is a bigger circus than the music industry. Dizzee was sincere, accurate, unfazed by the Political process, and entertaining, which is why they put him on at primetime TV. As for the other woman, she was just burnt she didn’t get as much airtime.

All this talk about Dizzee didn’t represent Black folk properly?????, or Why didn’t they get a Black Poltician?????? WTF There was a Black Politician on the screen next to him!!!! You didn’t pay attention to that? That says it all, why are you moaning? Doesn’t this make you the biggest hypocrite?

Yes Obama is mixed race, yes Hip-Hop did get Obama the youth vote, yes one man cannot make a difference it takes the masses, yes anyone of us could run for Prime Minister, I’ve always said that. If your willing to lie, backstab, cheat, go to war, and you work hard……YOU could be Prime Minister.
So I don’t get why people are mad at what he said…..is it because he wasn’t kissing arse, or because he said it with swagger, please let me know.

Politicians are no better than any other MC, except they know how to sell themselves better within 60 secs because that is all they get. Politicians use their airtime to sell themselves or their party. As for Black Politicians in the UK……..that arguement doesn’t make sense to me. I haven’t heard any Politician Black or White take a stand for the real issues that affect the streets of the UK inner cities, who is speaking out on knife crime, gun crime, or Education issues? that arguement is irrelevant.

If more people took an interest in building their communities rather than forming facebook hate groups on their lunch break against the few people that are actually making serious moves, maybe the UK would be in a better place.

Album in stores June, catch us on tour throughout the UK.

People CHILL!!!!!!! watch this….
