On the whole, no.
It really is shit. But I can still appreciate the verbal dexterity and inventiveness of some grime MCs - particularly when you consider that the practitioners are frequently chaps who've been written off by society as stupid and useless when there's clearly an intelligence and quick-wittedness at work that most people can only dream of.

Precisely as I suspected.
On balance I've decided to respect the privacy of those individuals. It seems they aren't addressing me so why should I eavesdrop?
You guess correctly - what little of this genre reaches my ears is in short snatches while, say, tuning in a radio, or my son's playing his iPod in the car, or some mindless retard insists on sharing from his GTi. (Believe me, when you're trying to work and some prat is paused in the road outside your window, car stereo jacked to 11 blasting bombastic gangsta crap - this happens a dozen times a day - in does not endear you to that genre.)
*Breathe* I shall now tune the wireless to radio 3 and have a nice cup of tea.
