“I don’t need no speed, I don’t need no heroin, I don’t want no coke, you can keep your ketamine, I’m a bassline junkie.” wails Dizzee Rascal in his trademark rasping, terrifying sound. Accompanied by the epitome of the term “creepy guy” (direct from Fast Show casting) Dizzee swans through London swearing at children and playing loud music out of a vintage car before becoming ordained and preaching to a bass-infused crowd in a church. Hilarious, rude and actually quite catchy, let this be a lesson to anyone making a music video – forget being cool, just be funny and weird instead. It’s better.
