Wot U On?

That was my favourite one, as far as the beat goes. Again, I didn’t know what the fuck I was making, I thought it was kind of drum n bass-y, to an extent. But it didn’t sound like anything, but it was the other track where I got to use that same kick as “I Luv U,” I loved that kick.

That was like the Eski sound. A lot of people don’t know that I used that before Wiley; I was doing that first. Their sound changed. They were making garage, like “Nicole’s Groove.” And then they started changing the way they made music, because of the way I put it together. Even the Roll Deep song “Terrible,” it’s a garage tune. A lot of people don’t know, that’s why some of these kids wind me up with all this “godfather of grime” stuff, when they keep on comparing us.

You know how to set the record straight? You have to keep making music. You can whinge about it all day long, and fight and argue. But people pick their heroes innit? So you could tell them the truth until you’re blue in the face, but they’ve got their truth now.

With “Wot U On,” I had this thing for putting girls on tracks, and making it sound rude girl-ish, but catchy. I should do that some more. I think that was because of Three Six Mafia, because I was really into them.
