Strap it up before you slap it up!
Yeah baby, radio 1, let's goooooo!
I love the way he says what he does in his own very unique way, although he is terrible on Pimp My Ride UK. His shirts are something else!

All he's done for HipHop in the UK is commercialise it. Nothing more, nothing less.

He is a fool, and i think he knows it, which is what makes it so much more funny. He tries to hard to be 'Gangster', when he isn't :rofl:

Went to a show he was hosting in London a few years back, and of all the celebrity guests that were hosting as well, when the commentator said give it up for Tim Westwood, about 2 people clapped. :dong:

Yeh, anyway, he is a tit.

Westwood is a legend and doesn't get anywhere near enough credit for what that he's done for hip hop in this country. Yeah he acts a fool on pimp my ride etc etc but musically, and don't shoot me down, can be classed as a pioneer for hip hop music in this country.

For those who don't know, Westwood started as a reggae DJ back in the early 80's and then changed to hip hop when it became massive in the states. He then set up KISS FM as a pirate radio station with Trevor Nelson back in the late 80's and was playing Public Enemy, ATCQ, Eric B + Rakim etc Due to the overwhelming success of the station and his hip hop show, the only one of its kind in the UK, he signed to Capital FM (london). He was then extremely influencial in getting acts like Public Enemy, Run DMC to perform in the UK after many people were against rappers coming here. At this time he was involved in producing some tracks from the Uk act 'London Posse' which Rodney P was a member of. He moved to Radio 1 and ever since has one of the most listened to shows on the channel. In terms of breaking new mainstream hip hop, he's the second most influencial DJ in the world, every act goes to after Funk Master Flex.

It actually annoys me when people dont really understand what he's done for hip hop. I hate the personality he portrays on TV but admire what he's done for the music I've loved for the past 15years.

He just irritates the crap of me. Fine he's done good things for UK hip-hop scene, but when you're a white, middle aged british man, talking like you're from the american ghetto's and just looking totally idiotic in your oversized shirts is a bit silly. Fine if you're a young thing, but not in your 40's when you look like a family man.
