I have a sad confession to make.

I was pulled into this song by a "So you think you can dance, Canada" commercial.

It's true. I almost didn't want to like it, on principle. It got stuck in my head. Then Joe says "I'm pretty sure that's Dizzee Rascal", and it made everything alright. He's cool, right? Much cooler than Pussycat Dolls (who were featured in a previous commercial for the aforementioned TV show).

Not sure what it is, but I really like British rappers. It's something about the mix of accents, the lingo (different from North American rappers... maybe they smush in a bit of Cockney Rhyming Slang? Not sure). Dizzee Rascal is one of those rappers that just sound super cool to me. I'm never quite sure what he's saying - and maybe that's a good thing.

I suppose I should have put up some Roots Manuva, since I've been listening to him a little bit longer. I put up this particular song, because it's been stuck in my head for the last few weeks. The silly thing is that this song is over a year old already! Wake up, girl!!

Whatever. I like it, and this is my cell.
