And Finally
Dappy hits back at La Roux
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 6 July 2009
Yeah, Dappy, he of N-Dubz fame, ain’t impressed with La Roux’s Elly Jackson dissing modern R&B music.
As previously reported, Jackson said last week: “[R&B is] very kind of empty, like hollow and not rooted in anything good or healthy. Lyrically it’s just like really really bad – I think a lot of it just doesn’t mean anything. I think a lot of it is, ‘Baby I love you, I want to kiss you’. It’s just like what are you on about? Shut up. It certainly doesn’t make me feel anything special, or doesn’t make me think, or go somewhere else in my mind. I just don’t get it”.
Dappy, who presumably thinks his band is to be lumped in with the R&B scene Jackson was dissing, has responded to the Daily Star thus: “I’m a fan of La Roux but she needs to expand her knowledge of music. There’s a much wider range and variety than she knows about and she needs to listen to it”.
I think we need to organise a La Roux versus N-Dubz cage fight to solve this one. Anyone? Let’s book the Dome, they’ve got some spare slots. No need to speak to the bands, we’ll cancel it at the last minute and make all the fans pay fifty quid to keep their tickets.
