Disgusting reporting of Dizzee stabbing

This landed in my inbox this morning and I have to say kinda ticked me off. Following a link saying "Dizzee gets knifed: is this the start of the UK answer to Tupac and Biggie?" I came across this: http://www.ammocity.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=286
Nice glib remark about Asher D and a "converted Super-Soaker". Yup, damn near split my sides, that one - don't they realise that a person is in hospital, seriously hurt as a result of a potentially lethal act of violence? Morons. What's the betting we see a lot more of this kind of stuff in our cutting-edge, irreverent music press?

I thought he was released from the hospital?

has he been? i don't know. if so that only points to this story being inaccurate as well as fucking stupid.

Dizzee Rascal being stabbed doesn't mean we can't make jokes about Asher D being a fucking moron though, does it?

what i wanna know is why is he releasing 'fix up look sharp' as his next single and not 'jus a rascal'?!?! are xl deliberately trying to appeal to indie pricks or what

well, duh.

ditto

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 11 July 2003 11:43 (twenty-three years ago)

(which is apparently why dizzee signed with them)

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 11 July 2003 11:44 (twenty-three years ago)

because he wants to appeal to indie pricks?

― sean g, Friday, 11 July 2003 12:17 (twenty-three years ago)

ding ding ding!

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 11 July 2003 12:22 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah right

― sean g, Friday, 11 July 2003 12:47 (twenty-three years ago)

because it's the best song on the album, prolly. or at least one of the few catchy ones. and jus a rascal has annoying backing vocals.

even if paxman did treat him a bit patronisingly - and i dont think he did actually, he was just having a bit of a laugh towards the end, but at the start he treated him just like anyone else - dizzee didnt exactly do himself any favours!

Paxman is right he's not British, Jesus was born in a stable but he's not a fuckin horse, its a sad day if he's classed as British.
