The greatest song by a British artist since the 00's
 

And I'm not expecting any of the current lot to top it in the next few years

Keep that irrelevant woman out of my thread please

Adele has done well... if we're talking about record sales...

I'm so happy that Adele has done so well.:lovedup:

Look at Locke's post above yours..

Good old Fame Academy, where you had to be able to do more than just sing

Alistair from Fame Academy got another top 40 last year when one of his songs was on the F1 credits

Starts at 1.04

Premier League Football,Wrestlemania & Superbowl!

Eat that haters :idc:

he was born in Britain, so that counts

You've showed the haters. With your knowledge of music that's in the charts! Everyone knows the key to music is how many programmes it gets on, I'm sure all artists write songs so that the premier league uses it :joker::joker:

King Anton just got destroyed

Seriously though that song is woeful, Sky Sports should of never got rid of Kasabian.

At a push Pass Out is bearable

It is becoming a daily occurrence

:joker:


Lemme know when your fave artist's song is used to represent the biggest sport in this country, the biggest sport in America aswell as Wrestlemania.


I'll wait....




Roy & Locke need to be added to the "Get off my nuts" list along with Novo and MM&I :p

Why would I even be concerned with that? Why is it any of my business which events purchase the rights to a song, by an artist I like?

Do you know how many beatles songs have been used by the premier league? how many rolling stones songs used by wrestlemania, or Elvis songs used by an odd form of rugby played in America?

None.

Do you know what that proves about the quality of their music and affect on pop culture and music that followed them?

Nothing.

If you start measuring artists by their success with corporations then you even lose the essence of what hip-hop is.

Schools out, next time, bring your books.

Damn, don't think we'll hear much from King Anton after that

Poor guy will be hiding in the pub quiz sub forum for the rest of the week

If you don't understand what it means going from a council estate in South London to being recognised by these 3 huge events then there really is no point in me trying to explain it. This is a guy who was even forgotten in the Underground scene for a good 3 years or so.

Don't even get me wrong, Tinie is far from my fave artist. I would much rathar listen to **** like Meridian Family or Old school Wiley & Dizzee before they sold out and made the chart stuff, but sadly we live in a country where unless you do that you will not be recognised so I at least give them props for doing what they have to do to make their life better and doing it well. I would always prefer people like this to chart higher than the Lady Gaga's etc.

Like I made a thread already. This man charted top 40 with a freestyle released off his own back on his own label. It's possible if you make the most of the Internet like he does, but not everyone is as intelligent about the whole music scene as he is. They see the quick dollar and take it.

Ultimate props to JME.

Don't belittle me with the last line.:joker: I know what the essence of Rap & Hip Hop is. We just don't live in a place where we will see that real **** realistically chart, so I'll discuss the people who do on a Big Brother forum.



lol at Roy being the guy in the middle :p

Erm.. Leona sang for our country in the olympics, eat that.
Bleeding Love>

That's a complete left turn from your previous argument. You were giving it the "everyone is buying his songs, so eat that haters" argument a minute ago.

Now, it's all "he's from a council estate so lets give him credit" which is fair enough, but you were over hyping him to begin with, and using things like the premier league to prove your point.

I respect anyone that gets off their arses and does it, but lets not pretend that he is the 2nd coming of me :joker:

There may have been a reason he was forgotten by the underground scene.

Leona is one of King Anton's favourite artists so he'd probably agree with you

It's hardly a left turn though. :joker: I was over hyping him for his achievements yeah. Nowhere did I say "Check this lyrical genius and his piece of poetic art which has been used at....". I mentioned where the song was used etc so the haters (which he seems to have a few,fair enough) can take it in for a moment.

You jumped at me and seemed to dismiss what he done like it means nothing and I simply told you, it sure does for a UK Rapper. At the end of the day he is probably the one UK Rapper in the charts along with Wretch who has compromised his original sound the least, so fair dues to him.
