UK Prime minister Linked with Rapper

THIS IS probably the first time that Prime Minister David Cameron has been likened to rapper  Sean ‘Puff Daddy'/'P.Diddy' Combs. But it may not be the last.

Meanwhile, I am sure that UKIP leader Nigel Farage will relish in taking on the role of fallen Death Row chief Suge Knight in his tug-of-war with the PM for the hearts and minds of right-wing Conservatives ahead of the elections, even though Knight got shot last week in West Hollywood and lost a lot of blood as a result.

The recent valedictory by the defecting Clacton-on-Sea MP, Douglas Carswell, from the Tories to their bitter rivals UKIP, was like a rap wars challenge between the two party leaders - especially when Farage butted in to the end of it by declaring that if there are any other Tory MPs out there who are dissatisfied with their leader getting all in their politics and ruining it for them to join his camp.

It was virtually a diss for diss copy of the moment at the 1995 Source Music Awards ceremony where Suge Knight went up on stage and encouraged all Bad Boy artistes (Puffy Combs's record label) to come to Death Row if they are tired of their CEO insisting in their contracts that he must be allowed to do his rubbish dances all over their videos.

BRAGGADOCIO

A clip of Suge Knight's braggadocio is available to see on the Nick Broomfield movie Tupac and Biggie, which you can watch free on You Tube or just google “Suge Knight diss Combs."

Suge Knight's challenge is apparently what kicked off the murderous phase of the rap wars between the East Coast and West Coast that resulted in the fatal shootings of the two greatest rappers that ever lived - Tupac and Biggie. 

Now it remains to be seen whether Nigel Farage's braggadocio will kick off the Westminster wars and result in the assassination of David Cameron's merry men, but it does make you wonder whether there is really that much difference between MPs and gangsta rappers and whether the job of politics is that far away from the bad bwoy rappers trying to get your vote for their records.

I suppose the main difference between politics and gangsta rap is that politics is a dirty game.
