So, MC with the slowest flow in the world, Giggs, has done a track with Mike Skinner and made a slick video for it too. I’ve put it above all these words so you can see it.
WORDS: ROBERT FOSTER
I’m happy for the guy, but at the same time I’ll miss him having no cash, cos the best thing about no-budget grime videos is that they show up US rappers to be the pampered clotheshorses that they really are, and Giggs was responsible for one of the finest examples of the genre. Welcome to the shittest rec room ever…
What the fuck is that guy with the lighter doing? Is he hiding his face because he’s wanted by the police? I get the feeling that might be the case. Also, they didn’t even turn the TV off or move their mountain bikes out of the way, and there’s a half finished bottle of Lucozade sitting around during the other guy’s verse. I’m making fun of their poor housekeeping but I would have shit myself if I was there. If I was in a 50 Cent video I’d just be talking to the girls, supping Vitamin Water and making myself comfortable.
It goes to show all you need is some Stone Island and a paper cup to be a million times more menacing than the Americans, there’s a real understated Britishness to this that brings a patriotic tear to my eye.
PS Nothing he ever does is going to top this is it?
