You can't replace that kind of experience. Only the actual rappers, producers and industry players have one up on this guy. I'm not even saying I like him, he's a very questionable dude, but he has earned his credentials imo and I was born in 83 and was listening to rap and hip-hop all through the 90s and stopped in the early 00s when it started to tank/I grew up. He didn't just have big names he had real underground heads too who ppl in the UK back before the Internet never would have been exposed to, and like I said they would be on his show chilling, taking, drinking with him etc. Guy was very legit in his own way

@@KillerDiaguR I'm talking 80's bro, not 90's. I am 55 years old and I got into hip hop around '85. Westwood was barely on my radar. The brilliant Mike Allen hip hop show, plus the Hip Hop Electro series of albums, got me into it, then I listened to Dave Pearce's Fresh Start to the Week, which was Radio One's first hip hop show and aired on a Monday night in the late 80's. Westwood was around, sure, and he was known but far from the God he makes himself out to be, and people think he was. In the 90's he became the most important hip hop DJ in Britain, that is certainly true but I'm fed up with him making out he started it all, like he was some sort of one-man Rambo character, bringing hip hop to the masses for the first time through his pirate station work. It is all bullshit.

@@Wally-H yeh I'm not saying he's the hip hop emperor, just that he did put a lot of legitimate work into the scene in his own way, and a lot of ppl can't see past the exterior and see it, that's all. I'll never forget having the Westwood rap show blaring on my old Sony tape deck radio in 1997 and him and OC were chatting about OC's new album and Westwood dropped "my world" and the second I heard it I was like WTF is this!?! Ran straight over to press record on whatever tape was in there and got like half a track with the beginning missing 🤣 but I'll never forget it. He used to broadcast live from parties where he was drinking with the wu tang clan and stuff like this. In the 90s. That's pretty fkn legit. But anyway. I agree he's not the rap messiah, and can come across as (and in all fairness probably is) a bellend, but yeh, he's put in some legit work is alls I'm saying :)

This comment didn’t age well sadly - he’s raped young girls.

[@tripler9632]

The way he talks is criminal.. Hes a very confused man who had money from a young age. He still thinks hes that young age touching young women. Wrongun.

[@murieloduro1274]

Him and his Dj uncle have a lot in common.. Jimmy & Timmy will fix it!

[@jcsmooth70]

[@mrdabodabo8957]

Conrad Murray Hahaha I laughed when he spoke about KRS-One.

[@mrdabodabo8957]

Conrad Murray Love the part when he spoke about the news reader. "Wahm, here's the 10 o clock news" lmao 😂 But yeh he defo answers the questions well. Big-up Tim! 😎👊🏿💯

[@hudson7354]

[@whackman47]

The cops need to validate his story. Creepy rapist.

[@XxV3NGEANC3xX]

Anyone who cusses Westwood doesn't understand just what he's done for the UK scene. He played people on the radio before they were famous, the first UK DJ to get love from US artists, this guys interviewed and chilled with EVERYONE, you name a name and he's been with them, guys been around so long he had BIGGIE on his show lol, Tim goes all the way back to the 80s, anyone dissing him has no idea what he done for the scene when it started

[@louisokeefe8307]

He,s been around since mid 70s side man for David Roddigan massive reggae and soul to an extent dj i would say Roddigan was the king of reggae in the uk tim was his side kick... Roddigan dabbled in soul. But he was no Robbie Vincent he was the dj master of soul in the uk.. plus his soul mafia crew.... So England had its pioneers on all forms of black music.... Theirs my history lesson for today on uk sound men and influential djs that changed the uk,s early underground music scene.... Reggae/ RODDIGAN/ HIP HOP/ WESTWOOD/ SOUL / FUNK AND JAZZ/ ROBBIE VINCENT AND THE SOUL MAFIA CREW...

[@Wally-H]

" the first UK DJ to get love from US artists" - wrong. You obviously weren't there.

[@mixinstyle]

I used to Listen to Westwood on LWR and Mike Allen on Capital back in 1984 - 85. Can't believe he's still going. Was he ever involved with UK Fresh 86?

[@ham-gr33n-beats]

Anyone here after watching the documentary?

[@broughton90]

Tim is a fuckin legend in England 🇬🇧
