I have heard this song before. Someone sent it to me. See, it seemed to me while I was over there that, while a lot of people listened to American hip hop, there was still an overwhelming sense of Britishness when it came to music. I can remember on more than one occasion being in a conversation of American hip hop vs Grime. And almost always there was a distinction between someone liking the music and having it represent them. Grime is still going strong as is dubstep, funky house, and drum & bass. Even if it is a silly dance, I'm still glad to see the UK repping. I mean, it's not as bad as the "Rolex Sweep" innit? ;) You know what? I have heard this song before. Someone sent it to me.
