Urban review: Dizzee Rascal, Bonkers

The lyrics being a very hip-hop peek inside the mind of a lunatic, writes Gareth Grundy
  
  


Even more instant than Dance Wiv Me, the title, and cheesy house backing – complete with loopy sound effects – suggest the man Jeremy Paxman calls "Mr Rascal" has settled for shallow pop stardom. Closer attention reveals something more disturbing, the lyrics being a very hip-hop peek inside the mind of a lunatic, bringing darkness to the centre of the dancefloor.
