Dizzy Rascal

[abu hamster]

Never again unless everyone cancels

[Jackmypie]

None the less, when he played the remix of nirvana's smells like teen spirit. The mosh was INSANE!!!

[Vieuphoria]

why?

[Jackmypie]

Yes why?

[themuel]

He was my second favourite act of the weekend, so no I don't agree. He is one of the biggest successes in British music of the last two years and is incredibly popular.

Whether you personally like him or not, the fact is he deserved that slot.

I loved the first Dizzee album, but since then he's gone rapidly downhill (coupled with his meteoric rise to Radio 1/One Big Weekend popstar). His live show is terrible, his band are shoddy and he needs a dose or reality.

I was really disappointed that such a refreshing artist has ended up churning out lowest common denominator pop-rap. Snoop completely showed him up in how to put on a great performance.

I never understand people who slate Dizzee, I always enjoy him live

and with florence, yea..epic

He'll probably headline in 2013 or something, one more big album and he'll have a legitimate case for doing it.

[abu hamster]

He just doesmt do it for me and unlike other acts I can see a worthy (see what I did there) reason for him I cannot!

If any wants to pay money for me to shout at them I am far cheaper!

Tbh I really like Dizzee Rascal and thought the show looked class live (although admittedly I watched it on TV)

But hes playing 3rd from the top at Reading and Leeds and 4th from top at T in the Park so Im not quite sure why he was so high at Glastonbury

[llcoolphil]

Not my kind of thing but I can see why he is so near the top - a talented entertainer if nothing else. I remember strolling past last year and the field was going mental.And the young ones seem to prefer him to a more traditional beat combo

[llcoolphil]

I don't think any act, who, when you take away 1 or 2 of his songs, wouldn't have a chance of playing anywhere near the top of the bill, should be second headlining.

This may be me being ignorant on the topic but take away Bonkers from his repertoire and he'd slip right down the lineup.

I don't dislike Dizzee Rascal, I just think that he's managed to develop a reputation which far proceeds the music he's actually produced.

[Nyika]

What I don't get is that he always raps along with someone else...

[18Alex18]

Precedes.

And his debut album was marvellous tbf

I was walking towrads the Pyramid when I heard the first few bars of Smells Like Teen Spirit. Excellent! Then some chap starts talking over the top of it - what's all that about? Someone should cuff the bounder.

I'm hardly in a position to judge whether Mr Rascal is any good or not - all rap leaves me cold.

[rubenz]

Agreed that he is a bit a of a cheesemonger nowadays. Disco was a bit much IMHO! People seem to like him so fair play to him maybe some other UK acts need to push on and try and claim these top billing spots (not sure who though any ideas?)

[NeilVJ]

Gimme a fun hit filled Dizzee Rascal set which got all the crowd jumping and dancing than a boring pretentious Gorillaz set any day of the week

not my kind of music but i do have to say he was great, i thought he was great with the band, was just expecting him and his DJ like last year but was pleasantly surprised, and when Smells like teen spirit started the place went mental!!!
