GOLDIE LOOKIN CHAIN - WAITROSE RAP

[@AnthonyThomas_Ant]

I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve listened to this, it’s so good. The density of good lyrics and the Are You Being Served theme tune. For some reason this just hits: the manager’s secretly got working class roots.

[@gregthebaker829]

I couldn't agree more. I've been telling everyone how good this is.

I used to work in Waitrose. People spend over £1000 on their weekly shop. I've seen people spend £hundreds and walk out with only a couple of bags. My main section was Wines and Warehouse. They actually taught me to BS my way through advising people on wines. It's really easy. The celebrities were always cool though. Really chill people.

Why hasn't there been a film about how these guys turned there lives round from the gang and drug fuelled streets they grew up in. Newport died year's ago. It was either prison or death for these lads but they got out of that and put hip hop on its head. A voice for the silent. You're an inspiration

[@rogfusionkid]

F*****G great work GLC. Having a laugh still, pointing out things that need to be, Where do I get new album, got any vinyl?I picked up e second hand CD of GLC the other day, as I liked some of their old tunes, that led me to check online, I didn't know they were still together. I'm so glad they are. The problem today is that people have embraced things whole heartedly that in the past would have been a piss take. This tune is great, love it. My local waitrose shut down. the wine section was about a quarter of the store! Love the sample as well that's great as well. "Are you being served"

[@HighDefBNG]

Sick man, the beat is sick, the lyrics are epic as usual, the video is so well made. LOVE IT YOU Nut cases!

“Went shopping at Tesco, but there were too many scums” 😂😂

[@eighteenfiftynine]

I once saw a couple of Tesco shelf monkeys get had up by a manager for pissing around whilst shelf stacking. When he stopped to see what they were so excited about, they pointed at a spot on the shelf they'd been filling, whereupon the manager took a closer look, pulled out his pen and promptly extracted a _used condom_ from amongst the goods. He quickly marched away with it dangling from his biro. Never felt quite the same about that supermarket since...

[@JohnSmith-ny5cf]

LYRICS PLEASE HELP - I've used square brackets [ ] for words I'm not sure about. Please leave a comment if you can help me fill in the gaps or make corrections, thanks! "Tarquin, Tarquin, come back, don't play with those people - they're dirty. They're not allowed in here." There's a place you can go, I've been told, where if you eat the food your poo comes out gold. It's not a myth, a fantasy or dream, it even sells Prince Charles' brand of ice-cream. Space in the car-park for your Chelsea tractor, a red carpet to the doors, a welcoming factor. Almost 300 stores spread across the land, you have to curtsy at the checkout and [perform a bow?]. Branches in Bristol, Edinburgh and [Nova?], the colour-scheme even matches with my Land Rover. Some say 'elitist' but I think that's crude, besides Tesco doesn't sell you the [?] food. So Incredibly posh, this might surprise, I heard they sell champagne for kids in half-size. I tried other stores but they just don't wash, 'cause if you're not down with Waitrose then you just ain't posh. "I, oh, it's wonderful, I saw Tsamara, she popped in to buy some roast boar beef burgers ... hmmm ... wonderful!" The checkout girls are called Tabitha and Portia, my wife's called Jean so I had to divorce her. With all the yummy mummys shopping there I play a game, asking all the little kids "What types of pasta can you name?" Whole wheat and cracked wheat and drinking almond milk, apparently the plastic bags are really made from silk. With a copy of The Guardian and [Hunter?] wellie boots, I think the manager secretly got working class roots. "Do you sell organic veggie boot polish my dear man? Terribly good." Divines, Tarquin, Gemma and Nova, let's all go to Waitrose in out brand new Range Rover. Kick in the door, go straight to aisle four, get some wild boar and some Louis Latour. I'm throwing a party for my rich chums, went shopping at Tesco but there were too many scums. I prefer Waitrose, there's more of my kind and the help ... mmm ... they're far more refined. 'Ten items or less' were you born in a sewer? Correct grammar should read 'Ten items or fewer'. Sells everything you could need - rich or posh. What - water so clean it's already been washed! My shopping probably cost more that your car, that's why I shop at the Waitrose, you shop at the Spar. The boy who collects trolleys is simply a whizz, where else would the staff know the words to 'Les Mis'? "Oh the quails eggs are to die for, Julian!" It ain't where you're from, it's where you're at, right above Waitrose in a penthouse flat. Students are welcome if Dad's got loads of money, you can spend your gap-year 'n'all right next to the honey. What kind of chickens hand-reared by God, the tuna stick was caught with a diamond-tipped fishing rod. A bottle of Chablis and some roast lion cub and the loyalty card also gets you in the yacht club. Where in the world can you find posh food? Try to walk in with a Tesco bag and you'll get booed. I saw a posh bird try and they nearly stopped her, but it's OK 'cause she [popped in?] for a helicopter. Two types of people in this land, the rich who shop at Waitrose and the poor who were banned. But they don't discriminate and that's a fact, 'cause little [?] will help you get the shopping bags. "I do like the [Dutch event?] ... very extravagant. You can't pick goose fat for roast potatoes. Mmm ... I love Charlton Blumen Hestonthal Blumenthal sausages up me hehe!" "Well of course we [?] don't shop here but they do send a van." "Oh Tarquin, you are awful, now run along and get Mummy some banana chips and almonds ... hehehe. I've got a horse ... hehehe."
