The story of a boy called Craig who unearths a dead body. Wittily told and devoid of 'gangsta' showing-off, I wish more rap was as good as this.
It is rap though, so anyone with a blanket aversion to the genre best stay clear.

a massive one..Liked it for nearly 20 years...and Plan B is still violence obsessed...This is a song about digging up a body.
This is also Plan B turning more and more into Eminem..
In case you're wondering, I like Stig Of The Dump, Braintax, Dan Le Sac, Yungun, Dirty Diggers, Foreign Beggars, Blade, Yungun and other people.

I see what you mean. It is talking about violence (not directly, I would add). I don't really mind what the subject matter is in Hip Hop, as long as it's told eloquently.

I live just yards from wanstead flats - it really does look just like you are going to stumble on a dead body at any moment, but it's usually just dog crap. Great place to fly a kite and piss around with my paraglider though.
Just a 5min walk up the flats though and you come to the bottom of Epping Forest, which is really nice, and there is a wicked walk to wanstead town via a load of old over grown ornamental lakes: tinyurl.com/wanflat - google map link - the flats are down bottom left of screen, nice park top right.
Forest Gate can be rough, but the north side (near the flats) is pretty nice. Or that's what i keep telling myself since i bought the house there...
