Isn't that a slightly patronizing attitude to take? I haven't got anything against him for having one arm - it's great that he's a DJ despite the likely limitations and stigma he's suffered through having one arm. I am also aware he has a great reputation as a radio DJ.
I suppose the point I was trying to get at was what his link with Dizzee is. I know they did those mix CDs together, but these days he's pretty much the only regular part of Dizzee's act. Is he like a manager or mentor because it doesn't seem like he's musically involved.
I thought you were criticising him for a lack of deck wizardry, but I've re-read it now and you weren't, so my apologies. Semtex was an early champion of Dizzee (and tried signing him to Def Jam UK, iirc) and they've been close for a while.
Your last comment is near the mark, I think. Dizzee's manager is very serious about keeping him away from the kind of amateurism that's hindered many a grime career. Semtex has always struck me as being serious about the business, so Cage probably regards him as a good influence to have around.
