I hope Charlie Sloth sees this and realises how much better FITB would be if he kept his sausage fingers off that stupid sound board.

[@cattrounity4437]

Charlie Sloth is fucking moron. The fact he is the face of the UK's underground rap/hip hop/grime is a travesty.

[@dtrue8488]

Cattro Unity I probably wouldn't go as far as calling him the face of the underground scene, but I definitely agree that his reach/influence outweighs his abilities and whatnot.

[@cattrounity4437]

Yeah, I sorta meant that in the BBC; kinda shows how much they know about those genres.

Cattro Unity 100% agree, and it amazes me how much he has lasted.. It's absolutely ridiculous!
