'I'm Ready' by Caveman
is a fucking insult to 'Crosstown Traffic' by Jimi Hendrix, which it samples, as he commits the UK hip hop cardinal sin of 'sounding a bit American'.

Much as I love other peoples' lunches
I love Jimi Hendrix that little bit more...


To hear how it should be done here in the UK, have a listen to 'Money Mad' by the fucking brilliant London Posse. Uniquely British and all the better for it...

Well, if we're heading off in that direction,
then calling the song I'm Ready is an insult to the classic Chicago Blues number of the same title, as popularised by Albert King but probably best done by Muddy Waters.

And for those wishing to hear how an Englishman should rap, this little celebration of tea is a perfect representation.

Have you ever seen Waters
at the 1960 Newport Jazz Festival?

My Lord it's excellent.

Monty's Top Tips No.12389
It's a special feature on a DVD of a live show from (I think) 1972.

If you can't find it gaz me and I'll get the details from mine.
