"You Can’t Rap" by Example

I was amused by the single by Example titled You Can’t Rap, which sounds like a strage gene-splice of the Gorillaz and Fiddler on the Roof, peppered with Alison Moyet’s laugh from Yazoo’s Situation. I heard it earlier this week on Tom Robinson’s show on BBC 6 Music. Here are the lyrics to its chorus:

You can’t rap, my friend

You’re white and you’re from Fulham

Please put down the mic

There’s no way you can fool them

Don’t be stupid, you won’t get that far

Turn your back on hip-hop, Rob, and go and play guitar
