I've got a lot of respect for him. Going back in to education to study Computer Science and Physics whilst encouraging kids to study along similar lines. Pouring money in to inner city education projects as well.
He comes up with some silly catchphrases and dresses a little peculiar but compared to the tossers on MOTD every week and some of the other crude and classless "artists" - I think he's a pretty decent guy.
Making an extraordinary amount of money out of ordinary talent? Maybe. Who blames him for that though, he's not exactly pissing it away selfishly!

1) Because he has anything to do with one of those music 'talent' factory, knock-the- last- one-off-the-top programmes.
2) Because he floods my radio with awful, autotuned, lowest common denominator music.
3) Because he showed some promise and originality when he first came out only to quickly sell out and make song after song about "rocking beats" and other nonsense.
So because he makes shit music that you aren't forced to listen to, he's a prick of the highest order? Watch the documentary Joanna Lumley does on him, look into his work in the ghetto he grew up in over in LA then decide who's the prick out of you and him

Pest control is my summer activity pal, though I do like a bit of pigeon decoying and knocking down a few rabbit this time of year. I'm renovating a cottage for someone at the minute though.
I think he might have been talking to me. I didn't say he was a prick either, I just offered 3 reasons as to why people might think he's a prick. Not really a difficult leap to make.

Heard you're always up for a bit of cottaging
Not since they closed the public conveniences up by Charlton House. Its a dying habbit these days. ; )

Just three?
I could offer far more but I thought that'd be sufficient. Apparently he does charity work though so automatically he's not a prick.
Blatantly rips off unknown artists. I listen to a lot of dance music and two DJ's called Arty and Mat Zo created a tune that was pretty big in the club scene and Will.i.am has just stolen it, made some shite lyric over the top and earned millions from it. Action is being taken by the two DJ's but they are unlikely to win as that knob will be throwing money at top lawyers.

Cannot stand the talentless wanker.
He must've felt like a right plonker then when the great Charles Brandrith was going on about plagiarism.
Re. Charity; I give what I can, when I can to my chosen charities, but I'm still a w#nker according to some people. The moral of the story is, charitable people can still be w#nkers!
Bit harsh ValleyGary. First couple of Black Eyed Peas albums were very nice laid back hip-hop. Not a fan of his solo stuff but he does have a good musical mind.

So does Aka Bilk, but he don't act like a prick. ; )
