He’s one of the biggest artists in the county. No matter what you think of him or rap music you can’t deny his popularity
Came in to post this
I can imagine how I would have felt as an eighteen year old if I came across a bunch of middle aged (at best!) blokes praising my favourite artists and bands, so I daresay that he wouldn't be best pleased to know that I've just put a playlist of his on Spotify on and really liked the first track I heard (Crown?) and, although it's getting a bit samey now, the next four tracks aren't too bad either
There's been a few times recently when I've thought to myself I should have given rap more of a chance rather than dismiss it as crap about thirty five years ago.
Will you be smacking your bitch up tonight, TOBW?I can imagine how I would have felt as an eighteen year old if I came across a bunch of middle aged (at best!) blokes praising my favourite artists and bands, so I daresay that he wouldn't be best pleased to know that I've just put a playlist of his on Spotify on and really liked the first track I heard (Crown?) and, although it's getting a bit samey now, the next four tracks aren't too bad either

My poor little Staffy has done nothing to deserve such treatment.
Kinell, Bobsy, is this a wind-up?I can imagine how I would have felt as an eighteen year old if I came across a bunch of middle aged (at best!) blokes praising my favourite artists and bands, so I daresay that he wouldn't be best pleased to know that I've just put a playlist of his on Spotify on and really liked the first track I heard (Crown?) and, although it's getting a bit samey now, the next four tracks aren't too bad either

How is it possible to go from gently tapping your slippered feet to the soothing tones of Val Doonican to headbanging your way through an indecipherable Stormzy track?
You'll alarm fellow Rhonddaites should you take to greeting them with a fist pump and a "yo, blood, wassup?"
Always was more of a Matt Munro man than a Val Doonican one, but I did like his stuff with the Bachelors mind.
Must admit the notion of me greeting fellow members of the afternoon dog walking group up here I see every afternoon (they're all about ten years older than me) like that brought a genuine lol out of me
Stuck with the Stormzy playlist to the end though and added three tracks to the one I listen to on Spotify every day - one which I'm proud to say is a lot more diverse than those of most people of my age so I'm told.
Eminem’s early stuff is excellent.I can imagine how I would have felt as an eighteen year old if I came across a bunch of middle aged (at best!) blokes praising my favourite artists and bands, so I daresay that he wouldn't be best pleased to know that I've just put a playlist of his on Spotify on and really liked the first track I heard (Crown?) and, although it's getting a bit samey now, the next four tracks aren't too bad either

Marshall Mathers LP is a great album.
got to 2nd that
slim shady, then marshall mathers both 1st class and stand the test of time
if you were going to get into rap, got to add Straight Outta Compton
Thanks, I'll give it a listen this afternoon.
Just need to master the Vossi Bop now TOBW.I can imagine how I would have felt as an eighteen year old if I came across a bunch of middle aged (at best!) blokes praising my favourite artists and bands, so I daresay that he wouldn't be best pleased to know that I've just put a playlist of his on Spotify on and really liked the first track I heard (Crown?) and, although it's getting a bit samey now, the next four tracks aren't too bad either

So were the Spice girls, and still are going by the crowds on their recent tour, and they are absolute horse shit. So your point is caller?
The point is, never trust the public to vote for something
Do you possess any English reading capability beyond Key Stage 2 English?
The person I replied to asked whether Stormzy was headlining on merit of PC culture because he was unsure whether he had the mass appeal to headline Glastonbury. My reply was informing him he does have the mass appeal to headline such a massive event because he's one of the biggest artists in the country.
Don't reply to me in future if you argue in bad faith, and learn how to read replies properly.
Don’t know if it’s just me, but what’s the big deal on constantly going on about the colour of his skin? Lewis Capaldi was half decent but nobody has described him as “the white singer”
Until the day comes when we just look at someone and just call them a person, or artist, then we still have a long way to go.
Strewth. The irony in this one post is astonishing.
She's was a little tease in her day.Bet you would though, given the chance
I watched live last night and genuinely tried to listen to him.
3 songs in I had to turn it over.
It's not music as I know it it's just shouted lyrics over a backing track.
I just can't see people in 30 years time fondly remembering their youth to a Stormzy soundtrack.
You better off staying clear of hip hop, rap ,crap, grime, drill , and sticking to a decent set of screwdrivers from B and Q ,which are useful to stick in an orfice when one come across this so called music ,or is it just a rant at speed with a base line .I can imagine how I would have felt as an eighteen year old if I came across a bunch of middle aged (at best!) blokes praising my favourite artists and bands, so I daresay that he wouldn't be best pleased to know that I've just put a playlist of his on Spotify on and really liked the first track I heard (Crown?) and, although it's getting a bit samey now, the next four tracks aren't too bad either

Dont take it to heart my point is, popularity shouldn’t be a qualification to headline a music venue.
Cool, go tell that to the people who organize these concerts then.

As far as i remember Emily Eavis decided to give the man top spot based on her seeing him twice in recent years at Glasto. and with the
popularity and following he has generated she decided he DESERVED a top billing, Good on her. He had the crowd eating out of his hands last night.
I saw him in 2017 at Glasto and he had a great stage presence, I am not surprised at the praise for his performance last night, he did himself a massive credit.
I love watching Glasto. on the TV and I have in recent times watched bands I know little of, stuff like Stormzy, The Killers , Foo Fighters etc and stuck with it mostly as the crowd reaction and participation is riveting to watch, and after all variety is the spice of life. Stormzy had a lot going on that I didn`t understand at times, but that is due to my age but that did not spoil my enjoyment at all of a man plying his trade and is deserving of any plaudits that came his way. He had something to say, in many ways, and has left his mark as the first male solo black Briton to headline at Glasto. Well done to him.
