Is he for Real, I cant beleive that the Rap world takes him seiously. I thought that they way he talks on his show was for effect but it seems he does it all the time.

What do you reckon (Please dont be libelous)

All I can think is that when he finally gets home and closes the front door he must be seriously exhausted. Sounding like a muppet all day at work would really drive you mad over a short period of time.
Did you see the American muppet SUV he uses as regular transport?
My money says he puts it on. I'm very surprised 'the kids' don't see through him.

Westwood has been around in rap circles for a very long time, from GLR (i think), Capital and Radio1 and many more before.

He has done alot for rap with getting a national radio station to have a regular show and i respect him for that, snd so do many people. He has gained a vast amount of respect in the UK and US for what he has done for the music.

But, i cant help laughing every time he plays that bomb sound effect om the show. You need it in your life....

westwood, hmmm. I agree that he has done a lot for brining rap to the masses, but please, drop the accent. I'm not being racist here but do any black people find his accent offensive? like he's a white guy taking the pi$$?? I think we all know he's not taking the mick, but...

I like rap music, and it just makes me laugh everytime I listen to his show, which aint that often.

Am I right in thinking his parents are both proffesional people from Cambridge (mum teacher, dad lawyer)

I like the guy, has good taste in music, but I agree the accent is odd?

Met him in Geneva, at the radio 1 snowbombing event, he was outside the club smoking a dooby.. Had a little chat with him. I used to think he was a tit, but after meeting him, and seeing him live, he is actually very entertaining..

I think he's great for radio1

Once the friday/Sat night warm-up tunes stop playing and his show comes on, I know I'm running late and its time to go out.

I DON'T need that in my life

Everyone gets booed off stage. He wouldn't have kept his slot if it wasn't popular.

I won't repeat what Sal said when we saw that article about his 'love' of American cars

Have to say I'd put him in the t1t category aswell.

I think he has a bit of an identity crisis.

Must be a bit embarassing for his parents.

Maybe of the 'gimp' variety.
