I thought it was a joke. She's a real-life Vicky Pollard.

Don't please. She's disgusting. A poor excuse for a "rapper" or whatever she calls herself. She named herself after a friggin packet of cigarettes, or wait, was it the fat ugly rings she wears on each finger.

Sorry but it just ain't good enough!

PMSL....Nice rant!

It's a good job she didn't call herself Superkings he lol.

She reminds me of the girls who hang around outside Spar and spit and passes by and screeeeeech "got a spare fag mate...

Oh and the new record, it's crap.

I really think she'll be going places. She's got good rapping talent, and her words are funny.

I've been looking for the song for ages because I heard it on The Box and looked everywhere for it but couldn't find it, so thanks.

At last! This girl's the real deal not some stage school dolly trying to go 'urban'. Check out the 2 tracks on this page and bow down to her rhymes (one's an ode to Kilroy!)

'Chavs', funny as some of the jokes can be, is on the whole a sneery term to put down the people at the economic bottom of society. Yeah, some people are scumbags but we shouldn't lump everyone together. Mike Skinner? Oh he's just a chav? Ludicrous. Lady S has real talent and it's great to hear someone rapping about real things not about the jewel encrusted yacht they just bought.

I think it's more to do with having a sub-60 IQ than being poor. I don't think a lack of money makes people say

But theres just one little thing that really really,
Really really annoying me about you you see,
Yeah yeah like i said you are really fit
But my gosh don't you just know it
and call it poetry. There's another force at work there.

I'm droppin lyrics dat'll hold up ur knickers,
I'm on a whole 'nother level,
I'm old school like marathon, prior to snickers.

and..

You was born in a caravan,
That don't make you ghetto
I seen more ghetto in posh spice's stelleto
Your record labels dumb
for signing a fitch
who can tracks her bum
whos still askin her mum "whats cum?"
escalade, st tropez
What escalade!?
i saw you drivin a Nissan Sunny
down Peckham way.
Jenny from da block more like jenny from a flock of pidgeons
What class A drug did they put in it?
Chicken- all spazin out in the video like you're trippin'
In case your mum gave birth while she was strippin'
Shuka Shake, shake the brake your hips and fall out of your caravan right into a ditch, bitch!
You been chattin' bout ya gucci thongs
but how many weeks, bitch have u had it on (eurgh!)
I can tell by your dances-
dat it's sum wear stuck up her bum (eurgh!)
Burberry... St. Tropez..when are ya' gunna learn to speak properly?!

well it is meant to be funny. I just can't stand to see another po-faced American rapper mumbling about 'keeping it real' from the back of a 50ft long limo so it's a breath of fresh air to me but each to his own and all that. I'm not that big a Streets fan either really (except for that song on the last album when he's off his face in a club), sounds a bit simple next to this hyperactive girl

Erm, it's actually not meant to be as funny as it is though.

She's been around for a bit, and the fact that she makes Skinner seem like....I dunno, Conor Oberst, is testamant to her lack of ability.

Okaay.. so how funny is THAT meant to be?

Perhaps it's 'not meant to be as funny as it is' because we're only supposed to laugh at her humourous rhymes a little bit and then just laugh at her and her barmy slang because she's 'a chav' eh? I'd buy her a Burger King anyday (er, if I wasn't a vegetarian..)

I cant tell if you are supporting her or having a go at her.

Sorry, I was being glib and I did put the chav bit in inverted commas. I'm supporting her, definitely! That is some barmy slang but, to my mind, it's poetry. I haven't heard this 9to5 thing to tell the truth but have really liked her other stuff and look forward to seeing her getting bleeped out on TOTP soon.

Well, true that isn't funny, but my point is that i've seen interviews and bits, and she thinks she's a serious act.

When in fact she's a fairly talent-free flavour of the week (she doesn't even get a month).

Hmm, her fast spittin' rhyming skills entitle her to be taken seriously as a rapper, why not? And there's more fun & astute observation packed into half a Sov song than would occur in any look-I-can-play-a-guitar middle class indie boy album. I like the whole idea of her, titchy real deal estate girl, not manufactured, spouting rapidfire maniacal nonsense backed by grimey Ford Escort beats. There is an awareness there of what annoys people and that is used (right down to her name). As I said, each to his own, sooner her than Joss Stone!

It's funny because it's such an awful simile. It sounds like it's come straight from the playground.

That's a perfect example of my point. The few bits that are actually in English are immature and imbecile.

Oh dear, someone not speaking the Queen's English as it is intended to be spoken. How indicative of falling standards, oh the youth of today! The girl ain't no imecile, you don't understand the slang and you don't get the humour.

Here's some really intelligent lyrics;

"How long am I gonna stand,
with my head stuck under the sand?"

That, I believe, is the popular beat combo Coldplay. Hardly friggin Wordsworth is it? And that's without growing up on some hell block. Heh!

I don't mind if artists don't use perfect English, as long as it makes some kind of sense...

I dont think Coldplay would ever class there music as poetry though.

And just because she grew up in a bad area doesn,t mean she writes good music
