'Talk rapping'

Remember The Streets? Chances are you might do, as 5 years ago they (or rather he) was a big sensation - the most original talent out of whatever northern town was in favour at the time. With all the hype at the time I was going absolutely spare trying to convince his 'fans' that he was simply talking over music. "No, no," they used to tell me "He's really clever and that. His lyrics are really deep and he's so clever (innit)" Ok, set a drum beat going in your head, and say the following words over the top - don't sing or that would involve a tune.

"So when I looked at you standing there with your hoard,I was waiting in the queue looking at the board, Wondering whether to have a Burger or chips, Or what the shrapnel in my back pocket could afford, When I noticed out the corner of my eye, Looking toward my direction, Your eyes locked onto my course I couldn't concentrate on what I wanted to order, Which cost me my place in the queue I waited for YEAH , I'm not trying to pull you, Even though I would like toI think you are really fit, You're fit but my gosh don't you know it"

Genius huh? Now, can we all accept that simply having a conversation with yourself while a drum beat plays out in the background doesn't constitute talent. That goes for you too Kate Nash. Oh, and Lily Allen while I'm at it. Like The Streets, your days are numbered - make way for Rock And Roll!!! And pop music.
