Dizzy rascals for PM ?

[utdfortreble]

dizzy is right.

[TheBizzle280]

He loves puttin a smile on peoples faces and thats all that matters to me. Nah he isnt very clues up about politics but then not MANY people are these days. But hes always positive and a nice guy so fuck all the haters.

[stuchaboi]

purple priminster

[mu5lim]

What an idiot, dizzy rascal

[TRANSFORMASSM]

hahahahaha i just imagened him in the whitehouse

[Badassmoafo]

Fucking dumb ass nigger talks like a fucking retard.

[cancelled0ut]

fuck upper class gay twats. bring back manhood, hunting and naked women

[Remistro]

ur a pure nigger loooooooooooooooool

[cancelled0ut]

no im white. but im not a racist twat like paxman

[EedDeryi]

how is he racist?

[LDNDoll]

i love this!

[RookieSludat]

dizzierass has defied the future society offered him as a black male from bow e3 and forged a career as a rapper/social commentator.... he is clearly exited at being on newsnight and paxman seems to be bemused and intrigued by dizzies mannerisms and dialect.. I think dizzie was true to himself and stood out like a sore thumb. newsnight and televised politics should include the average mans hopes and not just sensationalise the fears of bigots

[GoodItsTeaTime]

erm,also,a lot of black youths speak with that accent in London. The same way folks did in the east end from the victorian era. Why are you surprised?

Language and accents develop alot through time,culture segregation etc. Look how far it's come since some of shakespeares plays!

To judge someone on that is more ignorant than the ignorance you suggest dizzee has.

[GoodItsTeaTime]

this is bloody hilarious. A brave step fo whoever booked him a slot on newsnight. a small step towards having some much needed diversity on political views,even if they're out of depth.

[robostairs]

he aint puttin on an accent, its called a being a "london rudeboy" 2nd 3rd or 4th generation jamacian living in london.

im white and i think carribeans have integrated VERY well into the UK especially london. Unlike muslim communities...

[bboygizzmo84]

How Dizzy speaks got nothing to do with Jamaican generation. None of my family members speak like that, and we from Jamaican family. Its some cockney nonsense...mixed up with some street slang...?

[robostairs]

Cockney slang mixed with patwois = Dizzee Rascal, end of

[Crozier92]

Why are you people coming down on Dizzee so hard? He's done a hell of a lot more than you. He might not be that intelligent but he's actually gone far with his life, and he's done unbelieveabley well considering his background. I think Paxman went down abit too hard on him aswell and Dizzee was big enough to just laugh it off. Dizzee did make a point on this interview, and he wasn't there to show what black people are like, he was there to make a point.

[ninjanbounti]

Even the interviewee was laughing at him the devil's trick

[southbanktrousers2]

seems very intelligent from what ive seen of him

[saileddragonfly]

@Crozier92 because he had the chance to talk about real stuff on tv but decided to play the joker card. and hes definitely high

[jdjelal]

Dizze represents all black people as much kerry katona represent all white people.

Do you seriously think people watched Dizee and thought "ohhh so that is how all black people talk". Come on. Dont insult the intelligence of all the people in the UK. People are not stupid !

Hes someone from a working class background like myself who wants to express themselves. Whilst he doesnt speak the queens english he made good valid points. Its arrogant and defensive to try and take away his opinion

[saileddragonfly]

@jdjelal BULL SHIT he didnt even understand the questions, watch the full interview

[u2funnyman]

@saileddragonfly I had look at your site clearly – someone with limited intelligence when reporter asked the question he replied.. one day . who knows one day he may well run for uk PM

[uthman72]

The problem is not that he was not speaking correct English. That is understandable considering his background. The problem is that he was put up there to "represent young Black British". Are we supposed to accept that all young Black British are as stupid and ignorant as he is about the world around them? I know a lot of young Black British who cannot speak fluent English and yet they can put together a logical and intelligent argument in their own street slang. He failed to do just that!

[HelloLolly123]

I agree with Uthman72 to be honest.

'Cause Dizzie Rascal here .. Isnt makin sense at all and he definately did not hav any thing smart to say. I mean i dont hav anythin against black people or the way they speak. I respect them for being who they are but clearly here Dizzie Rascal just made a fool outta himself.

[planetyes]

It's spelt 'definitely'

[bboygizzmo84]

True!

[xxxfaceteexxx]

oh dear dizzee.

[evilmunki54]

why put him on as a guest!?!

[uthman72]

I think that DIZZEE made an idiot of not only himself but all civilised black people. I was ashamed and did not know where to look when he came on Newsnight to comment. I was very embarassed. Is this the best of what Black Britain has to offer on such an important issue as a comment on what is a historical moment for the world? This has nothing to do with the fact that he couldn't speak English, he was not making any sense or saying anything smart and insighful even in his own slang! DISGRACE!

[ippikin]

Dizzee makes ground-breaking music with evocative lyrics. He has the intelligence to go from rags to riches, from the gutter to number 1 and interviews on newsnight! That takes intelligence! In the US he would be celebrated and respected for that feat, whereas there are pricks like you in this country trying to bring him down - YOU epitomise much of what is wrong with this country.

[ChociRosie]

Aghhh wtf are you talking about?

[battau999]

LMFAO what an idiot! He blatantly dont have 5 a-c's at gcse level LOL

[EpicFireworks]

lol.......

[xxmellyxx]

what a twat

looool

the shame

[ippikin]

Fuck u! racist bitch!

[xxmellyxx]

lmao how can i be racist to another black person when im black myself...hes a twat end of...you need a reality check for even defendin hes stupidity in this video....whats he gonna give ya for defendin him fuck all, if he ever sees these comments im sure hed benefit from ppl tellin him the truth so he say better things next time, lying to him cos you like his music aint gonna do the brother no good

[Lupe415]

lol mr rascal.

[Hippiebackoroono]

hahahhaha. Dizzie's a good rapper, but needs to stfu.

[Crozier92]

99matt99..... How the hell would Dizzee running for PM be anything like Ali G In Da House? Paxman tried to make a fool out of Dizzee in that interview but it didn't work.

[bodpt1]

one man one day will say ?

im right on this planet man

[watchMEshyne]

and that idiot in the sun made a point out of it in his page today.

[tehglu]

you know me man

was good?

=D

IM SO VOTING FOR HIM.

[FuryzPKz]

hes a clown for going on that kmt

[ChociRosie]

I wish people would just spell his name right...its DIZZEE not Dizzy or Dizzie. GET IT RIGHT. Hes amazin, i would defo vote for him!

[phatlip2]

lol

[iaintmadatcha]

all u cocksuckers hating on a black man coming from nothing to a whole lot of something are scumbag ma fuckers :)

[99matt99]

OMG I love dizzee if he was PM it would be like "Alig In Da House"

[ChociRosie]

Yeh seriously..how would it be like Ali G In Da House?

[jdci75]

I've noticed that almost everyone who has defended Dizzy on this topic can't spell or write a full sentence. What a role model! Our opinions are ineffective when people can't comprehend what you're saying!!

[ippikin]

I'm defending Dizzee and am currently studying for a PHD. So shut the fuck up!

[ChociRosie]

SHUT UP LOSER.

[marizil]

im for dizzie

[MrPromotion1]

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­l

[watchMEshyne]

but that baroness is reppin.

but for gods sake girl. get a box of S-CURL. shit!!!!

[watchMEshyne]

dizzie rascle represents BLACK TRAILOR TRASH.

its a new underclass lower than the under class.

fix up dizzie. fix up..................

[ippikin]

Why would you use that stupid American term? and spell it wrong? How in the name of fuck does Dizzee Rascal come from a TRAILER PARK you STUPID cunt!

[watchMEshyne]

WTF! MOTHERFUCK YOU!

ex; "hi! im the one you called trash on the lady sov vidio."

WTF! talk about pot calling the kettle. and i can spell "trailor" how i want.its informal. IDIOT!!!

DONT EVER MESSAGE ME AGAIN.

LOOSER!

[ippikin]

I said "AMERICAN EQUIVALENT: WHITE TRASH"

You said Dizzee is a Black man from a trailer park? WTF... WTF!!!! how is an council block a caravan? How the fuck can you say that you middle class biggot!

YOU bring this upon yourself because you're a fucking stuck-up biggot -

Watch you shyne??? I'm watching you crash and burn motherfucker!

[watchMEshyne]

whatever.

hes still trailor trash.

[ippikin]

A bit like you then I 'spose...

[watchMEshyne]

LMAO. just stop already

[ippikin]

AGAIN - fucking American terminology! 'just stop already' hahahaha. Already? WTF is wrong with you? Are actually from the UK? Wannabe yanks like you make me fucking SICK.

[watchMEshyne]

were NOT yanks.

[ippikin]

WTF does that mean - it doesn't even make sense! Were? Do you mean 'we're' as in we are? You dumb fuck! YOU USE YANK TERMINOLOGY EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE FROM BRITAIN - what a cock!

[watchMEshyne]

IMBECILE!!!!

[dbircham]

The next question is politics is about debate, I hated Dizzy's attitude at first because i am long-in-the-tooth perhaps, stuck in my ways and not plugged into todays youth. Some people thought Dizzy in his own way was articulate, two opposing viewpoints causes debate and we have have lift-off?... Maybe

[dbircham]

I Have had a good think about this.... I am 34, 35 in Dec.I am nolonger the up and coming youth, but who do we want to attract towards politics in the black community? Surely it's the teenagers. Now if you get some well spoken black person discussing why there could be a black Primeminister, it will sound good but will it motivate the black youth to start taking more of an interest in politics? Will it make them passionate about Great Britain?

[ninpou21]

That is a very good point and one i failed to look at however; i am a young black male of Dizzy rascals generation but that's probable all i have in common with the guy. Black youth's get a lot of bad publicity but i for one have never felt more miss represented.

[ninpou21]

I'm struggling see the funny side of this ignorant shit!!!

HE'S THE BEST PERSON THE BBC COULD FIND TO REPRESENT ME

I mean, he can't even articulate himself properly using his mother tongue (English). the clown is from "east London"!!!!

Pricks like this are just an example of whats wrong with our black boys today.

keep in mind that a lot of people watching the show have never met black people before.

nice one Dizzy, where all proud of you!!!!

[ChociRosie]

Aghh dont you hear yourself speak and just think.."shut the hell up?" I would if i was you.

[ASAMOAH24]

Clueless

[Kellly1888]

Lol your all calling Dizzee stupid, i mean its not as if hes came from nothing to earning millions and selling platinum albums!...but because he did it through rap hes some kind of idiot???

You lot need to respect people like him. He is BETTER than you.

[djmercenary1985]

he makes good music, doesn't mean he's a genius. funny shiz either way, you shouldn't worship someone cos they are rich, go buy your next copy of heat magazine

[PunkyPrincessPop]

Who said that he had to be a genius? He's obviously doing well in his own field. There is not only one way to be smart.

[bboygizzmo84]

Dizzy for MP(Mental Psychiatry)help !!!!

That I would vote for!!

[youhaveaslit]

if you believe you can achieve innit... hahaha

rascal is a leg end

[Vanblackman]

christ hes onloy havin a laugh stop bein such a bunch of stuck up Nobs

[GeneralDMR]

I think that this was so wrong to put Dizee on Newsnight as some kind of representative of black people in the United Kingdom.

He was not wearing a poppy, (which should have been provided by the BBC) and he knows nothing about the political system in the UK let alone the US, he was arrogant yet ignorant. As a black man, I do not feel represented by this 'Hoodrat' in any way what so ever.

[LolStudiosComedy]

Mr rascal :P

[Acquiesce24]

This guys intelligent and I hate the racist as far as I'm concerned amd the prejudice by the ignoranuses on here what he said made total sense, more prejudice in UK than the USA today that's the truth

[newonewo12]

hed be about as usefull as gordon brown

[amanda668]

I think dizzee did a good job. He is a legend and a half.

I don't think that BBC were using him to portray his race a certain way to the public; just as more of a publicity stunt in order to get more people watching newsnight instead of Jeremy Kyle. You will never get young people interested in politics unless you make politicians accessible to them.

ROCK ON MR RASCAL

[djire]

i thought he did well.

[bboygizzmo84]

I think dizzy should write a song about this interview...then laugh at his sales!!!

[NewOwnership]

i'd vote for him.

[theredeagle84]

This clown is dangerous, hes been smoking. A man needs a brain as well as brawn. I propose he needs proffesional help.

[purpleprinc3]

Maybe I was a bit harsh on dizzy, I think he was obviously set up to look like an idiot. I don't trust the BBC, nor any other major news outlet for that matter, there corrupt, will distort the news of even falsify it in order to gain bigger audiences, chairman's being friend's with politicians... Ahhh if only Tupac was still around! I'm suspicious of this Obama election, it seems to pacify alot of bitter feelings, well lets see if corrupt business carries on as usual. I hope he's genuine.

[purpleprinc3]

ya know what i mean like, i just dont have the vocabulary to express myself innit... LOL Jeremy Paxman & Dizzy Rascal, if only Tupac was still alive, he'd have the intelligence. Then again dizzy could've been set up to look like an idiot, I mean, Paxman & Dizzy, what are you asking for? I dont think rebelieren is being racist, jus saying he's a primate. It's fishy to me, Paxman & Dizzy...seriously. It's like swarznegger being...oh wait...

[NVspecialK]

looool

[Reela1986]

You shouldn't judge a person from the way he speaks. If you hear what he is saying, its actually true.

[CSSpl4yer]

yeh, your right.

although i was kind of shocked 0:14 - 0:26

lol

[sonixaz]

someone just give him a banana for fucks sake

[1peoplesun]

FUCK THE BBC

[Rebelieren]

Why didn't they let Akala or Sway in it?

The Media's aim was to embarrass and stereotype black people in the UK, well they achieved it!!!!

Is this what its meant to be a positive influence for the kids?

Dude can't even speak English.

Fucking primate.

[DidYouSayThat]

So you're unhappy because 'the media' (all media, or just the BBC?) wanted to stereotype black people, and then you go on to call a black man 'a primate.'

that's some racist shit, you moron.

[melodystylz]

This is anything but a Joke, this wanker embarrassed us all. Just because he is a successful artist doesn't mean he is smart. And he proved that on BBC. He's supposed to be representing Black People...so why not conduct your self accordingly. i hung my head in shame.

to those of you who think he did well...all i can say is 'That just shows how uneducated you are' and if this is a representation of the youth of today...then theres no way in hell we' ill ever get a black PM.

[isabiggles1]

What he said is more intelligent than any of the shit that flies out of your trap.

[melodystylz]

what? did i touch a nerve?...dont take it personal. lol, to be honest you have just proven my point! thanks ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... you've made my day!!! feel free to respond...though dont expect nothing back as it would simply be a waste of my time! LMAO!! retard!!

[PunkyPrincessPop]

Actually I think you do have to be smart to be successful but just because you don't know much about politics doesn't make you unintelligent.

[FISHGOMOO4321]

Dizzy is ftw.

[LisaLaceyAllen]

WTF was that all about, what a total embarassment, this "bwoyy" could not string two sentences together and they invited him on to National TV to make a fool of himself and degrade black people. I mean adapt your style to your audience and represent. Dizzy man leave the ghetto between you and your friends not the nation. What happened to speaking to Lemar, Beverley Knight, Ian Wright or Diane Abbott or someone else that is more sensible than this FOOL!!

[tennisshoes3]

Dizzee for President!

[nihal1]

dizzee is far from dumb! Just because he doesn't spk like Paxman that hardly makes him less intelligent. A proper MC Clash is a masterclass in verbal dexterity. Do you not think that Dizzee knew exactly that Paxman was trying to take the mick and answered accordingly with a wry smile on his face. You do not become as successful as he is without being smart.

[RhythmistV5]

Nihal what has mcing got to do with polotics pls?? since when has Dizzie been in a ' proper MC clash'?. Check out a talib Kweli song then compare it to a dizzie song and then try and tell me that the guy is smart. My nephew is 12 and he can string together words as good as dizzie. Yes he had a wry smile because he knew he was chatting shit. Point is, the first Black president was voted in yesterday, so Dizzie should have kept his wry smile at home!!! and watch the whole interview b4 u comment..

[RhythmistV5]

The BBC knew exactly what they was doing when they sent for Dizzy to be interviewed. They said, lets find the dumbest black celeb in the UK, and see what he thinks of the first Black president-should be fun and degrading. Dizzy then goes and shames the entire black UK race(although its not his thought he's a retard). Sumone tell him hes not on MTV. Stick to ur cheesy music and pls pick up a history book, because you just made one of the most historical events in my life time look like a farce.

[RhythmistV5]

It was funny though,lol I was in stiches and had tears in my eyes!After all the intelligent people they had on there, including the women who wrote the colour purple book, and then comes Dizzy Rasket with a live feed from washington to London. What a moron..Its not your fault Dizzy, but when ur manager asks you to do anything remotely like this again, spare us all the embarassment. If we wanted comedy we would have been watching the comedy channel. And stop Grinning you cheesy guy its not smart

[XchemstarX]

I agree to an extent but there are ignorant ppl of all racial persuasions so I'm not upset to see him on.Made a good point if you listen rather than look but that's just me.......keep up the good work Dizz, just stay off of BBc.Safe!

[dave13111]

"Although its not his thought he's a retard"

Don't you mean fault? If Dizzee is a Retard, then you're a pre-tard (i.e. not good enough for the word retard).

[misterfisherman]

they shouldve picked lammy the clot

[PIGGYSAWASS]

he is fucking funny lol

[RhythmistV5]

The most significant racial barrier there is, is broken,and you get this moron to comment on it.The lengths people have gone through to make Obama president. Rosa parks sat,so Martin luther King could walk and Martin walked so Obama run. OBAMA is running so our children can fly. But Dizzy thinks its all about Hip-Hop, and that without hip-hop Obama couldnt be president. Dizzy I liked you before but you have just lost any ratings from me, Your an idiot, research your history. It was funny though!

[rossmurray]

Was a Newsnight special on Obama. It's about the 3rd time Paxman went to 'Mr Rascal' and no means the best bits. Posing the question if it could happen here.. a black PM. Dizzee was as expert in black culture. His expertise said that none of this would have happened if it wasn't for Hip Hop. What was funny was not necessarily how Rascal answered. Though was audible laughing from the crew at one point and the real comedy Paxman try to make sense of the language and keep talk flowing.

[Directemark]

I usually dont respond to any of video that I load whole purpose of video is to invite debate , the whole interview is interesting but would many of viewer spend 5 minutes to watch .. I think not but do have the whole interview so may load in full

[mycenean]

please put the entire video up if you have it, there is one point in the video where Paxman asks Diz. 'Do you believe in political parties,' in context what he was asking was did Diz believe in the ability of Political parties to govern and affect change. In response Dizzy say....'Yeh political parties, they exist dunit!' or something along those lines. Maybe it was a slip of the tongue but either way he came across as very stupid.

[HotCheex]

I have seen that part on on of the other clips. Dizzy answered as if he was a 5 year old being asked if they believe in fairies!..It was sooo not a good look!

[KojiAce]

what a load of rubbish, what an embarresment!! No politics what so ever!!!

[MattyD7293]

Watched that live...in stitches! Excellent stuff.

[droppenkiken]

dizzy on newsnight who would of thought! I think Dizzy should get paxman to rap on one of his videos next!

[codeeboy]

what an outrage!!

[JauntyOne87]

I'm not impressed

[mannersj]

what an embarassment

[Slamowns]

ROFL

[rossmurray]

Comedy gold this interview. If anyone can upload the whole thing I'll lick your postage stamps for life

[amberdixon]

I saw the whole thing on telly. It was.......words fail me.
