[@dmiller3154]

I'm reading the comments and I think people need to know how people act. I can look right at Dizzee and see he does not fuck with Wiley and doesn't want to. Him saying he doesn't have a problem. Means he isn't holding anything against anyone or holding people up for stuff. But he knows who's who, and he ain't fxcking with certain people. You can look at him and his body language and see he is trying to be civil at the same time as saying "I'm not down with him like that." It's obvious. His outlook on Wiley goes beyond music. As shown by him "for me?" "and you have to weigh up what big is" when the DJ said it would be big for the culture. He is saying "You strangers/fans, enjoying something that I'd do with someone, whom I'd otherwise never do anything with again (off principle), vs how I feel about that person and doing something with them - no way." Nothing is bigger than a man's principles.

[@dani4ever]

And to be fair... how could a good thing even from them together if that's the vibe between them?

[@dmiller3154]

[@dmiller3154]

Drako Von Zeitgeistoberstellen People don't understand simple basic human behaviour. But, yeah, like you said...'grown up manner'

[@warrengrant2992]

Completely agree with this 100%! I can relate fully to what dizzee is saying here in terms of not wanting to fuck with a certain someone anymore based on principles but at the same time trying to be grown up about it too! Exactly how I feel personally myself about someone I had to cut off from my life nearly a year ago! If people knew every single little detail as well then boy! But yea it's just too long correcting everyone.

[@j69d]

People need to give dizzee more credit.. he came from the gutters and got to a standard where the hole country was behind him enough to get him to performed at the Olympics, I know that's irrelevant to some people but still that's an achievement on it's own, never mind where and how he's been representing the UK over the years.. always stood by us and for that I take my hat off to him... he'll always have my respect!! Dizzee from day oneeee!!

[@blackmamba1744]

Being a grime mc is a risky business. Jealousy will turn other rappers against you and the UK is a small place you will come across each other.

[@omydayzz1]

Dizzy was getting pissed at the end lol

the one thing I can say about dizzee that i've always rated is that he has never once chatted like a donut. Head always been screwed on tight on his shoulders

[@akadapper]

Twin B is right, Dizzee doesn't realise how big it would be for grime if he and Wiley did something. I hear what Dizzee is saying that he's done well on his ones for a long time, doesn't need anyone else - and it's true. But he's GASSED if he thinks he would have got this big without Wiley and Roll Deep. There's been better and more lyrical kids than Dizzee in the street who never got the kinda leg up in the scene that he got. You might love or hate Wiley, but it's a fact that he's ran grime since day one.

[@Tadstar85]

I hear ya man! that's real talk there!

[@kronik542]

He never said he got this far without Wiley or Roll Deep, he said Wiley helped him, but Target was there from the beginning, Wiley only helped him after he made a small name for himself, Wiley just got him more popularity.

[@akadapper]

Kronik Where/when does Dizzee say that Wiley helped him? He said Target is the one who cared from early when he was a DJ and that Cage is the one who helped him produce his album. Then he talks about how he's done it on his own from early. Only thing he says is that Wiley brought him into Roll Deep AFTER he made a little name for himself, which is GASSED.

[@mixit2010]

Steven A he said target was aways there befor wiley that means he acknowledged that wiley did also help him;-) but I agree they should do a album together that would be epic for the grime music would mash up the scane an I would name it"true storys";-)

[@CrowleyHead]

Steven A To be fair, Dizzee used to be in Nasty Crew briefly before he joined Roll Deep. When Wiley brought Dizzee into Roll Deep, Roll Deep had already done records without Dizzee, and Pay As U Go hadn't been declared 'over' yet. You can see Diz in the "Champagne Dance" vid, but he's not in PAUG. So Dizzee's perspective might not be too far from the truth.

[@GrimeUSA]

doing you own thing, not having any problems with people. That is how an artist should be. Great interview!

[@cummyduck5281]

Mr Dizzy Rascal is a nice guy. He is happy if people are happy I think. He's moved on so much in such a short amount of time that he has no reason not to like everyone. Anyone ever rants at him then it is just water off a ducks back.

[@LiberiFatali]

Whos Back hear because of Zeph vs The World / Wiley vs Stormzy but real shit watching this again I realize Wiley is a problem & I reckon he probably is a better MC than Stormzy but his generation made it so they had it the hardest but Stormzy's generation has more access to the power of what its become

[@RavenStorm332]

Facts, it's the same with Hip-Hop/Rap music here in the US as you have the older MCs or the OGs of the genre believing that they deserve more respect or that they should get something more than the newer MCs because of all of the foundation that they built in the genre

[@officialbarnation]

Dizzie just said it how he feels

[@MattmanKey84]

True, but I'd say after "Showtime" there was evidence of him prophesying himself selling out in the future. That track "Imagine" was proof but then again more power to him performing to Pop audiences and Hipsters. I started to hate his direction when he did Maths and English and stopped listening to him since but he's doing the best for him right now. I can't stay mad at his successes.

[@jak3brap10]

A track with both of them would be big for dizzee, because it would be big for grime. Biggest collab ever

ive been listening to dizz since he was 17 and wiley since he was like 19-20 yeh whenthey were slewing heartless and that lol and too see the progression of him as a person and artist maximum respect to dizz cos he coulda lost his way if he weren't mature about everything, however........... I don't care what any of you man say, what anybody says for that matter, if you grew up with grime like I did youd know that if dizz and wiley made a track together or even an album.... itd be... massive!!!

Never liked Dizzee to begin with was more into people like Eazy e but i now i have mad respect for him!!!!!!!!

[@OverFlow407]

Dizzee knows what he's doing, I still fuck with his music

[@lucianghita6198]

haven't heard a good tune from Dizzee in a while and I like him, so I think he should get together with Wiley and make a banger 'cause Wiley's a master and everyone should collaborate with him and just put whatever aside.

[@SecretState]

My father in-law one told me "If as a man you don't have somewhere to escape by the time your 30....... then you'll have failed yourself as a man ". "life will give you tons of pain later on in life" ... Didn't get it at the time 20years later ........I get it & 👁️ failed ...miserably

[@grimelately]

LOL "and it crosses sometimes like it did with Mr Robbie Williams". Twin B still putting it out there that the fans would still like to see Dizzee Rascal and Wiley do a record together.

[@ThatWave]

I don't like Dizz musically nowadays but he's grown as a man. Boy In Da Corner and Showtime are Uk classics.

[@imrankazzy9076]

it's not irrelevant, they did what they had to.. they made the scene that doesn't mean they can't stray from it. it's all good if you don't appreciate their music now (and i see your point) but it's his own music to make, whether someone else will critique you, you have every right to do whatever you choose, as does diz.

[@grimelately]

Dizzee Rascal, nuff respect.

[@MattmanKey84]

Dizzee said that it was all him and Cage who produced the album but I'm pretty sure Wiley had a part in Boy in da Corner. As much as I would love to see Diz unite with Wiley Kat, I can sort of understand why he wouldn't really want to. Like he said, there's more to the story and everyone has been taking sides, leading to more confusion.

[@CalumO94]

Wiley's aspiration seems to be to collaborate with Dizzee! Dizzee's aspiration is to be the biggest UK rapper in the world, fair enough but a UK version of Watch The Throne would be amazing!

How weird while listening to this tbh not a big fan but was a big part of my youth 👊🏽

[@7Heaven8ROONEY]

yeah, I hear what you're saying but Dizzee doesn't owe the scene anything, he made a name himself from his first album which he produced pretty much all by himself. When Dizzee blew up in 2003, very few people knew what Grime was or even if it existed, so its unfair to suggest he should acknowledge it, cos he did him no favours

[@jeydaize]

It's a shame Dizzee won't make any more decent albums, he's all about the big money, years ago he was better than wiley could ever wish to be. Yeh wileys put out loads of tracks and he's always stayed true to grime, until just lately, but he's never done anything anywhere near as gud as what dizzee did.

[@omidchelsea]

Wiley has always keep it Grime and Club bangers not pop. I respect Wiley for that.
