Admittedly I haven’t had a chance to watch this interview yet, but having heard her speak in a previous interview several months ago, I’m guessing that her English accent has yet to find it’s way home. Anyway in this interview, the former Floetry star talks about working with Nas and Dre Dre.

I feel the urge to just snatch that electric guiter from out of his grip, so that I can then beat him with it.    Do us all a favour Wayne – STAY IN YOUR LANE!!! The ‘why Hip Hop is dead’ lane! Your thoughts please…..
