This looks really interesting. Professor Green, who apparently is a 'rapper', whatever that is, exploring the alienation of white working class males, and the flirtation with far right politics
He's being interviewed on Five Live now and comes across really well, and it looks like this is a properly researched, insightful piece and not just some sensationalist poverty porn
Needs more Grayson Perry 
The world always needs more Grayson Perry! 
sensationalist poverty porn
Where I live, people will be watching this as an aspirational dream.
People with jobs who are on the telly!
He actually did a really good programme about mental health and the suicide of his father. So on the basis of the quality of his last documentary, I will watch it.
as a council estate free school meals kid who has many a time pissed in an outside privvy i’m interested in seeing this, he was on C4 news last night and seemed very switched on, his comment about white working class men waving the union jack of a country that had essentially failed them was very poignant.
the stats about higher education too, made me feel very lucky to have got an education at a time when it didn’t cost you £50k
Like him a lot. Hes not a fake, and would seem to have "been there and lived it".
I watched an i-player documentary featuring him on the topic of homelessness. Jeez, it was heartbreaking and Professor Green was actually moved to tears. He genuinely cares, a lovely compassionate man.
Of course the crux was that the Tory party had let this happen in the 70's and there is still insufficient social housing. It is downright cruel to make families continually move from temporary shithole to temporary shithole with the inevitable outcome that it's impossible for them to turn their life around. Welcome to the 21st century UK.
Shall be watching tonight.

I saw a documentary on this once, called '8 mile' or something like that.
I always thought the 8 Mile doc seemed a bit staged... prefer the gritty authenticity of Breakin 2': Electric Boogaloo
Short documentary on rap:
It’s worth catching the Five Live interview with him on iPlayer too.
It’s the whole first hour of today’s afternoon edition. Iain Duncan Smith was on the studio with him too, but was a lot quieter and less bombastic than usual, for some reason.
Professor Green made no attempt to disguise his contempt for Britain First, offering racist, immigrant-blaming answers to everything, and failing to blame those who are truly responsible for their plight

It's called 'humour'.
Thanks will tune in.

Well he won't get far in the Tory Party with views like that...
What was he doing in the same room as IDS unless it was beating IDS to death?

Impromptu rap battle?
Professor Green
Hes not a fakeWell, maybe just a little bit
Impromptu rap battle?
I'd rather watch him beat IDS to death with a pile of Job seekers allowance application forms...
Professor GreenHes not a fake
I'm also betting that Iain Duncan Smith would probably fail if you asked him to make a horseshoe.
A double helping of sunny Canvey Island this evening
One of the lads from Prof G's doc is from the rock
While over on Beeb 1

Here's hoping the good people of Canvey are shown in a fair light ??
Phew Canvey Island is a tough gig. I worked out of there a short while for Shell in the late 70s. Does it still have perma frost from the storage of liquid methane ? The pubs in the middle were hard work for someone like me with a northern accent and I distinctly remember having to go to Southend to find a half decent restaurant back in the day.
As for Prof Green, good on him for having the nous to get these type of programs made, we need more authentic reality and not the usual brain dead plastic reality shi*e
Hope you didnt take it personally
You take your life in your hand entering a pub if you're from South Benfleet ... let alone being Northern.

Saw him C4 news last night and he came across very well
That was actually pretty good.
(may've even got a bit dusty round here when that lad got into Cambridge)
+1
Excellent! Good to see the young lad, who only really wanted a job and a girlfriend not bother with all the Britain First nonsense. Good on him!
And just brilliant to see the lad get his Cambridge grades
I do think that Prof Green has more than a touch of the Grayson Perry about him in lots of ways
And Canvey came out with flying colours... Well it did in the BBC programme.
Jewish lady speech at the party "the best welcome we have ever received"
News Flash... Trump to recognise Canvey as Israel's capital
Dang it, missed both. Will try and watch on catchup.
