I always hear it said that Lord Ashcroft is known for his non-partisanship but what is that based on? Don't want to stray into conspiracies (but here goes anyway)... I guess...

So rather than being a problem with polling methodology, the problem is with the pollsters' herd mentality and risk averse desire to reaffirm an existing narrative.
One of them definitely hooked up with a transvestite on that trip to Dam and my money's on Jammer...
He's also got that lyric
"put a 95 year old granny on the table for 25 bags ill beat it"
lol
Grime is teenage stuff - nostalgic, petty beefs, house parties - I don't think it will/should act grown
Even the most advanced stuff - early Dizzee, Young Dot - is rooted in that, with a load of precocious complexity thrown in and the music existing in the contrast
Mez is good but he'll need some other talented MCs around him to really breakthrough

Don't really think Kano has any reason to be disappointed with his career as compared to Dizzee. Very well respected in grime, major part in Top Boy and the face of a recent Mercedes ad campaign (which I'm guessing paid very well). Less commercial chart success but judging by Dizzee's recent...
There's some MCs who nobody really rates apart from other MCs and Manga's one of those. So maybe there's something to be appreciated in his craft that I don't see.
His best albums for me are Home Sweet Home, Beats + Bars and The Mixtape, in that order.
His best live performance on youtube is probably Jammer's Birthday.
