Tinie Tempah

[Gingo]

Apparently he's going in celeb big brother in January.

Think thats a bad move for him myself.

[5co77ie]

Think thats Tinchy Stryder you're thinking of

[ArcticGorilla]

I really hope he does.

I have little to no time for rap bar my exclusive list. This list being:

Dizzee Rascal

Tine Tempah

Example

Would be incredible live, on par with Dizzee in 2010 for sure

[ArcticGorilla]

Why be so exclusive?

[jump]

There's a lot better rap out there than Tinie Tempah tho, if I was to have an exclusive list Cypress Hill, OFWGKTA, Jurassic 5, Abdominal, Run DMC, Lethal Bizzle, Jay Z, Slick Rick, Mos Def etc would pop up long before Tinie.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

because 95% of rap is utter garbage 'sang' by wannabes and usually just steal a classic songs chorus and shout over the top of it.

American rappers paticulalry annoy me.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Hahaha, ArcticGorilla is a typical rap white kid.

Gotta be honest guys as much as he is V everytime over R&L, I would love it.

He's delivered superbly everytime I've seen him and his live show and performance n genera is on par with Dizzee, who last I saw was at Glasto I think and he smashed it and upstaged the headliner no worries, who were Gorillaz who imo were quite poor, in others too and albarn wasn't happy which says quite a lot.

I'd say if Dizzee can do that slot, Tnie could, but I'll reserve that until I've seen it. Tinie was better supporting Coldplay at that charity gig than at his own gig, still both ace mind.

Seeing Example in march so my thoughts of him live we'll see then but I've heard good things. I wouldn't have a problem with either of the 3 at R&L but only see Dizzee in the future being there, his audience is broader maybe whereas Example and Tinie's is V all over.

[eFestivals]

I'm also interested as to what rap you listen to, which steals a classic songs chorus and shout over the top of it, as I'd say there's a lot of rap music out there which is slightly more creative than that.

on record, yep. Live it's just about all like that.

Definition of sh*t

[rexclark]

Public Enemy, Eminem, Cypress Hill, Ice T, all have played Reading, I would hardly put any of this new British shite into the same category as them. Dizzee Rascal's excellent live but he's a class above Tinie Tempah, Tynchy Stryder etc....

[mrtourette]

Is Example really considered to be rap?

[Bisque]

I would say he was an MC (if that's even that different to being a rapper). Example isn't that bad live & he has plenty of party tunes for the crowd. He wouldn't bomb at R+L but it would look out of place on the line up.

Bit like having Calvin Harris play. Would get a decent crowd at Reading but would look out of place on the line up.

[The Mean Bean]

Example and Dizzee Rascal were both brilliant once upon a time, both made creative, sincere rap music that was also entertaining and good to dance to. Both of them have now got watered down styles that may as well be the same as the rest of the generic, manufactured shite in the pop charts. Dirtee Disco was a fun novelty the first time you heard it, but it stayed at that, listen to Dizzee's recent stuff and then listen to Boy In Da Corner, there's just no comparison. Example did some great stuff on What We Made; Me & Mandy, Posh Birds, Eyeballs Painted Black, and You Can't Rap were all great, there were one or two good tracks on Wont Go Quietly, but he started to go all pop on that record, not listened to the new album but Changed The Way You Kiss me could easily be JLS or Chris Brown.

[Bisque]

I guess pop friendly tunes sell more & makes them richer. In fairness to Dizzee at least he fessed up to changing his musical direction.

[rug568]

Example and Tinie should stick to T4 on the beach and V festival.

[joe1990]

theirs something a bit boring and middle class about T.T he seems to be trying to hard to fit in, with little or none real attitude, he's pretty good tho and i wouldn't mind him being there, but i cant say id be very bothered about it.

dizzy is far greater.

[VCK]

Please no. Can you imagine the amount of twats wearing Chinos talking about "having epic banter with the lads" that he'd draw in? Leave him to V (and all the shit clubs his music gets played in)
