Don't Make Me Get Old School Poof. And like that... it is gone. The greatest trick XL ever pulled was convincing the world a leaked Dizzee Rascal album track didn’t exist. On Monday an illicit mp3 of Pussy’Ole- a Lynn Collins-sampling dancefloor-wrecker from Dizzee’s forthcoming Maths & English – was posted on Diplo’s Mad Decent blog. It soon got picked up by Fader, Gorilla Vs Bear and Discobelle and by mid-morning Pitchfork had posted it in their new music section so the whole world knew about it. As it happens we were at XL yesterday interviewing Dizzee for Clash magazine. Let’s just say he wasn’t happy about the leak. Not one bit. C&Ds were served and the song quickly disappeared, but we really wouldn’t like to be the dude who put it up in the first place. We don’t think Dizzee or his manager Cage will forget about it in a hurry. Leaks aside the interview was fantastic. Dizzee spoke candidly about the new LP, his feelings toward the grime scene (and one dude in particular), being a role model, hooking up with UGK and the Arctic Monkeys, and how good it felt to rock FWD last Friday. Anybody concerned that Dizz has gone soft can rest easy- he sounds hungrier than ever and Maths & English bangs from beginning to end. We’ll write more about this soon, but remember to look out for Dizzee in the next issue of Clash, out 01/05/07. Lead single Sirens (on which Dizzee plays drums- imagine if Jigga and Rick had 99,999 Problems) will be unleashed at the end of May and Maths & English follows on 04/06/03. We value our lives too much to post anything new here, so instead we've got a couple of vintage Raskit moments: Dizzee Rascal - I Luv U [mp3] [Buy] N*E*R*D ft Justin Timberlake, Will.I.Am & Dizzee Rascal - Lapdance (Live at Brixton Academy, London, 2004) [mp3] Posted by: Scott 28/03/07
