Dizee Rascal os an incrdedibly charismatic bloke, and his live thing is energetic from what I've seen on Glastonbury footage etc. on TV, but I don't reckon I'd want to see more than 15 mins or so before wandering.

I saw CTTN at my first festival in 1993 with Chumbawamba in some combination, and own the first 4 or 5 singles of theirs. The whole thing about CTTN was the whole "Concious Lyrics" thing that proved popular with a predominantly white politically motivated crowd. I don't think Matty tought he was th best rapper in the world by any stretch. I thought they were great, but they seemed to lose credibility very quickly somehow.

Credit to the Nation, Rock City 1994/5 MC Fusion had a hissy fit on stage because the white indie kid who's face he had shoved his mic into wasn't articulate enough to say why he disliked racism.  They were pretty rubbish.  Teenage Sensation?   No that was Take That.  Any band lauded by Chumbawamba get minus five hundred points automatically in my book.

I've never worked out why anyone would listen to Dizzee Rascal when they could listen to Roots Manuva instead.  Maybe it's because he's bonkers.  He's pretty dreadful live too, Sonar 2007 sounded like some scraping nails down a blackboard.
