You know that saying, you ask a stupid question, you get a stupid answer. This interview is a perfect example of that. And because the London Paper is so shit, the article is not even on their website, so I had to transcribe it for your reading pleasure.
Congratulations on the number one though Dizzee!
Im going to highlight all the bits I think are stupid:
Grime Lord Dizzee Rascal talks to Rob Grainge about rhyming girls into bed and the right way to slice a lemon
RB - How did your single with Calvin Harris come about?
Dizzee- At Radio 1's Big Weekender we said we should do something together and exchanged numbers - it went from there.
RB - Dance [/B]Wiv Me is an upbeat part tune. You seem to be all about good vibes these days.
Dizzee- In the beginning, I was making some hard stuff but this time I was come from a rave environment. I'm concentrating on the ladies, happy vibes. I want people to dance not fight.
[COLOR=#FFFF33]RB - What was it like working with Calvin?
Dizzee- Pretty easy, mainly just sending files back and fourth. Some of the things he was writing weren't really cutting it (U DON'T SAY!?) so we changed it a few times. He had the right flow, but I was like : "You're never gonna get a girl into bed saying that."
[COLOR=#FFFF33]RB - What did you make of Jay-Z at Glastonbury?
Dizzee- He smacked it. I was always confident in his shows. I mean I played there with Arctic Monkeys, although it was only one song, and I was like "Can I go on there next year, please?"
RB - What requests do you make at a festival?
Dizzee- Im really low maintenance. But it pisses me off when people can't get the simple things right, like honey and lemon so I don't lose my voice. (wow)
RB - How do they manage to get that wrong?
Dizzee- They cut the lemon so thin. Its not for presentation you silly bastards, its for squeezing into the fucking drink. What the fuck is that? Just putting a bunch of thin lemons into the water doesn't work, you fucking....
RB - Have you lost your rag?
Dizzee- Ive had to! Its not like I asked for some unicorn midgets!
RB - You don't smoke, you're not much of a drinker. Sounds like you're some health junkie.
Dizzee- Yeah, I try not to eat junk food, try to eat vegetables, 'cos it all helps. I ain't got time to be ill. Eating well can be expensive, I'm a tight bastard, sometimes I splurge without thinking. I went Marks & Spencer's and two little meals cost £10. I was thinking: "Rah, are you sure? I could have bought the whole damn cow for that much."
RB - So, what do you think, next step open a farm maybe?
Dizzee- There you go, fuck it!
RB - Who will you collaborate with next?
Dizzee- I'm thinking of doing something with The Ting Tings, maybe Franz Ferdinand and Liam Gallagher. Not sure if he gives a shit yet. I'm open. There are so many talented and good people out there.
....
Before you ask, that was all real. I didn't make that up.
