Hang the DJ

[bigmalc]

Would anyone else like to garotte Tim Westwood. Is it me or does he sound like Prince Charles doing an impression of a chav? Seriously, he's about as cool as an alunimium smelter. How does he have so many friends who are hardened American criminals? You'd think they could just do us all favour a bust a cap in his sorry ass!

[Huw Mann]

I like him, he's the big dog and he drops bombs




(the above statement may not be true)



(in fact it's a total lie, i hate the ****)

Westood is a bloke in his late 40's who acts like a hip-hop fan in his late teens, and thus is the 21st Century equivilant of ageing rockers like the late Tommy Vance.
Not a big fan myself, however he's been more instrumental in shaping the tastes of music fans over the last ten to fifteen years than John Peel; seriously, how many of the people who mourned Peel actually listened to his show regularly? Presumably the same dozen or so people who keep the Fall in business.
(Stands back, watches sparks fly...)

[bigmalc]

Fair enough. The Fall are sh!te. I just wish that he wasn't such a t*at!

[Katieface]

I find him so irritating!! "heavy hit after heavy hit" what the hell is that all about?? And he has a funny shaped head.

[hyptonic]

Isn't he more like over 50?

[Pippa68]

He is rather like an embarrassing dad at a wedding reception.

What you are forgetting though is that he is a pioneer for hip hop in this country and has been responsible for helping hip hop/rap etc get its much needed and deserved exposure that was long overdue. Him and Dave Pearce both played a huge part on various different radio stations since the early Eighties playing tunes that Radio 1 etc would never have touched at the time. He may sound like an idiot and he's dads a vicar but he knows his stuff and if you like hip hop/rap etc he deserves a lot of credit for what he has done for this genre. I dont see any difference between him and say John Peel who played dance music etc and was well into his fifties and no one can say that John Peel was too old or not cool etc? Carl Cox is 50 (maybe older! ) and he still rocks and is one of the best Dj's in the world, whats age got to do with anything ?

[Pippa68]

It's not really his age (hey, I aint a spring chicken meself) it's the way he speaks that winds me up!

To me, he is the modern day 'Smashie' ;o)

the music part doesnt bother me so much, but i find pimp my ride uk hilarious. you should go to the mtv forums and see what they had to say about westwood. i must say not many favourable comments towards him.
but really. the way he talks....priceless.

[Disco Fever]

I'm sorry but I think Tim Westwood is a wigger....
