From London’s East End. Kind of a hip-hop thing.

Plan B has been placed fourth in the BBC’s Sound of 2006 new music survey. His repertoire includes semi-fictional stories and personal lyrics.
I’ve thought everything through, any questions you can throw at me I’ve got an answer for, he says.
People make films about rape, about murder, and they’re just telling a story, right? So I’m just telling a story. The only difference is I’m doing it to music. They’ll go and watch a film and go ‘great film’. But you do it over music and they get worked up. They’re the ones who’ve got it twisted, not me, you know what I mean?
Yeah, I’m being very blunt and I’m using bad language but I’m just trying to portray something that’s real that happens in everyday life.

Sounds like a whole lot of fun! Seriously though, I couldn’t understand a word of it. Are there any lyrics available? I’ve actually become rather interested in this man’s blunt and bad language message.

For some strange reason I love that line too, John. But it’s not exactly Rogers & Hammerstein is it?
Best,

I used to hate hip-hop and rap music. Then I discovered Tupac Shakur. There aren’t many other rap artists I can get into, but “Pac” was usually about so much more than just slinging words. He came at you with a message and a heart. I think of hip-hop and rap as the jazz/blues for the kids today. In another fifty years, there will be museums devoted to these artists.
