7 times Frankie Boyle gave props to grime and rap
The boundary-pushing comic loves his British music – and he’s certainly not afraid to tweet about it.
As you’ll know if you’ve seen his stand-up, Frankie Boyle isn’t shy to speak his mind. But the comic does have a perhaps unexpected passion – grime and hip-hop, particularly of the home-grown variety. Here are seven times he's proven his love.
1. The time he gave a shout out to Little Simz
2. The time he tweeted an obscure Trim track
3. The time he appeared on Romesh Ranganathan’s podcast Hip-Hop Saved My Life
The podcast features his conspiracy theory about Biggie and 2Pac.
4. This seasonal message
5. The time he invited Akala onto Frankie Boyle’s Election Autopsy
Real talk ensued.
6. The time he tried to get on Sian Anderson’s 1XTRA show
Didn’t happen. Needs to happen.
7. The Guardian quiz that he wrote which featured the question “Which of the following is NOT a star of the UK grime scene?”
(The correct answer was “Angela Merker”)
