Westwood is fucking BRILLIANT.
The music he plays is shit - but that's not even his fault. He is paid by the BBC to play the latest rap hits, which he does - it's just a shame that these hits are invariably dismal.

He was a massively important player in the early years of the UK hip hop scene, playing British artists on the Capital Rap Show and putting them on in Dingwalls etc. He was the producer of pivotal UK classic 'Money Mad' by the fucking SUPREME London Posse.

He doesn't take himself remotely seriously and is a really, really sound bloke. Plus he once said 'my cheese game is strong' - making him OBE material in my eyes.

He is actually very likeable and surely knows how funny he is
Would be nice if just for once he played some decent tunes though. I didn't know about the place in hip-hop history stuff, but there was something on twitter the other day about a garage full of vinyl that was intriguing.

I phoned him up years ago when I was feeling down
Just phoned radio 1 and got straight through to him. He told me to "take it easy". I thought that was nice.

I'd like him more if he'd pimp my 205
