Dizzee Rascal Interview on Newsnight (Video)

So Jeremy Paxman, best known for going after Politicians on Newsnight, (and also presenting University Challenge) had Dizzee Rascal as guest on last night's show...

Whilst he can be entertaining when he goes in (pause) on certain guests....He gets the gasface though for asking Dizzee Rascal "Do you consider yourself to be British?"

This interview's recently been slammed on Facebook, with a lot people saying that Dizzee was a poor representation of black people in the UK, and that the BBC should have either got Lewis Hamilton, Bashy (who would have been an interesting interview), or a back politician instead...Ironically enough, a black politician was next to him on screen....

Dizzee wasn't the most eloquent interviewee, but at least he gave an honest answer, rather than long, drawn out amibiguous replies that most politicians who are invited on the show tend to give...To say he's a poor role model is an injustice, considering he's a platinum-selling artist, has achieved a UK no. 1 without major label backing, and has also done his fair share of chairty work too....
