Kano [Times Article]
Kano recently dropped the video for his single ‘More Than One Way’. Nobody can deny that its a positive single and that Kano’s highlighting a number of alternatives to typical ghetto get rich quick lifestyles. See video below…
Off the back of this, he then, with the support of Ed Balls (The Schools Secretary), went and made this small advert highlighting diploma’s.
Then, off the back of that, Jack Grimston from the Times writes this article. Entitle ‘Fould-mouthed rapper Kano helps Ed Balls promote school diplomas’.
I feel unable to understand how this makes any sense? Kano does something positive – yet get slated by Jack Grimston.
Looking at this tool’s other articles, I see nothing positive, encouraging or uplifting young people further into education – so what gives him the right to go off on one at Kano?
Who else is going to reach these youts in the street. Ed Balls – NO, Jack Grimston – NO, Gordon Brown – NO. How about someone young and ‘hip’ like David Cameron? or maybe even David Miliband?…….No I thought not.
I still feel this guy is the UK’s best export. His flow, delivery, originality – everything is on point. Hopefully in 2010 he can make some moves.
