Since the major success of his second album ‘The
Defamation Of Strickland Banks’ Plan B has
said that he would like to go back to his hip-hop
roots and after many months of waiting to see
what direction Plan B would take next with his
music he has just unveiled his new single ‘Ill
Manors’ which is also the name of the film
that Ben Drew is directing and the song confirms
that Plan B has gone back to his hip-hop roots
and this time around he’s angry and has
a lot to vent about.
‘Ill Manors’ is lyrically a genius
of a song as it see’s Plan B rapping about
the state of the government, the forthcoming Olympics,
teenagers and so much more, the lyrics are hard
hitting with Plan B having a dig at the government
over the UK riots with bold and honest lyrics
of “We’ve had it with you politicians,
you bloody rich kids never listen there’s
no such thing as broken Britain we’re just
bloody broke in Britain what needs fixing is the
system not shop windows down in Brixton riots
on the television you can’t put us all in
prision!’.
I feel that Plan B has taken a massive gamble
with his change in sound especially after the
massive success he recently enjoyed with his more
soulful sounding music, some of his new found
fans may well be put off ‘Ill Manors’
but fans of Hip-hop who have felt the hip-hop
scene has been lacking for many years now should
be pleasantly surprised that Plan B is here to
help make the scene good again.
5/5
