Question Of Port Vs Griminal

Submitted by: Sian.Anderson

08.12.09

With Question Of Port's popularity rising faster than your mum's Yorkshire pudding's, it's only right that Sian Anderson should put on our assault course N.A.S.T.Y's fast rising emcee superstar Griminal. The prize? A bottle of Port from our local corner shop... 

 

What's your favourite holiday destination?

Ayia Napa. I love it there, they love me there. 

 

That's love. What's the most absurd and poverty ridden situation you've witnessed in Napa?

Cats... 

 

Huh?

They've got a lot of wild cats hanging around out there. Like literally just wild cats everywhere. You know like in England there's load of birds flying around and walking around on the floor? In Napa there's cats. I don't know if they're harmful cats cause I really don't hang around long enough to find out [Laughs]. 

 

If you had to move to a foreign country which country would it be and why?

Amsterdam. 

 

Hardly exciting Grim... 

Nah but weed's legal there. 

 

Go figure... If you had to live on a pound a day (the majority of the world do live on under £1 a day) what would you spend it on?

One pound? Wow, it's got to be a packet of Fruitella and a Ribena. 

 

No soap, toothpaste, nothing?

What do you need that for? A pound ain't gonna get you that, I'll just borrow yours or nick my friends.  

 

I thought you were going to say weed. Luckily for you it costs more than a quid eh! 

How do you know?

 

Erm... Which country would you like to invade and why? 

Oh my days, Brazil and Jamaica. I'd take all the girls. Move them all to one island and call the island Griminal. It'll go from there... 

 

Brazil best watch out, you ain't taking no prisioners! If you could be any politician, dictator or world leader, who would you have been and why?

I don't really know, that's a lot. I can't be myself can I?

 

Grim, I said politician or world leader... 

[Laughs] I don't wanna be Obama, I'll probably be someone like Malcolm X. 

 

Why, what did he do?

I don't know too much yeah, about all of what they used to do, but Malcolm X I knew he was on the aggressive vibe so I'd probably be him. He used to hurt people and all of that. No - I know. Hitler! I heard he used to do madnesssssses. Hitler innit. 

 

(Griminal's fan base drops by 80%)

 

You'll love this question then... Hilter. What's the worst form of torture you can imagine? 

You know what, I have a really wild imagination so I can't really go in on this one, but d'ya know what would be sick? 

 

What?

If someone got their hands behind their back and they was sat on a chair and they were thrown off something high... into the sea. 

 

Someone's got a vivid imagination on 'em, that'll come in handy now as you explain to me exactly how you envisage your funeral?

A party! A green disco ball and a big party. It has to be a Grime party though. And whoever arranges it has to play all the tunes I've ever done. I want to get cremated though I'm obsessed with fire right now. 

 

Fire...

[Laughs] 

 

What would make you start a war?

Erm, I don't know. The littlest of things. 

 

Someone messing with your family maybe?

Nah nah nah nah nah. 

 

Selfish Hitler. 

I tell you what, the littlest things, someone stepping on my new trainers. If I had the power to, I would eliminate anyone who stepped on my trainer. 

 

I'll stay away from you in a packed out party then eh?

No - not you, you're a girl. I wouldn't hurt a girl or children, but a guy on my trainer. That's elimination! 

 

Would you rather shoot a kid or let off a nuclear bomb in central London?

Wow... It'd probably be the bomb still. But I'd have to make sure my family wasn't there. 

 

It's a nuclear bomb. Everyone's going down. You wasn't thinking of your family when you were sipping your Ribena and munching Fruitella's and you weren't thinking about your family when you were starting your war, so why now?

[Laughs] Wait... Everyone's going down? Including myself?

 

Maybe...

Nah, I'll kill off the kid. Head shot. I'll shoot him twice. Don't mess about. Everyone including myself... you ain't even got to ask me twice.  

 

Last film that made you do a little wee in your pants?

Paranormal Activity. That film is mad! 

 

What is it about?

Haven't you seen it?

 

Nah. 

You need to get out more mate! It's about a couple, they go away and they're living in a house, but the woman has been getting haunted by a demon since she was a child. I can't even explain, you have to watch it for yourself, but throughout these 14 days they hear madness' in the night time, they see things, she gets dragged out her bed, and they're recording it all, it's just mad. That film done a next thing to me. 

 

Lucky Dip; Samurai sword or AK-47?

Wow. I'll put my hand in the bag and try grab both. I'm greedy like that. And whoever is holding the bag I'll cut their hand off with the Samurai. 

 

What would you do with the AK?

I'd just use that to protect myself and terrorise Plaistow (in east London). 

 

Isn't that your area?

Yeah but come on, you've just given me a weapon. I'm meant to be Hitler ain't I?

 

Alright Hiltler calm down. I'm not the target! Most bizarre food you've ever eaten?

I don't eat anything weird. The other day in Lakeside I did see Sushi. I didn't know what it was but someone told me it was uncooked fish. I was like "Who eats a fish, that hasn't been cooked?"

 

I do... A lot of people do. 

Well you may as well eat everything uncooked then. Chicken, beef...

 

That's just unhealthy. 

I'll take your word for it. 

 

Last person who saw you naked?

Mz Bratt. 

 

And three things you're listening to other that yourself?

Me... me... me. 

 

Describe east London in one word?

Shit. 

 

Congratulations you now have 0 fans in east London and 0 Anne Frank fans not to mention the amount of Sushi lovers that now hate you. 

[Laughs] Thanks. 

 

What song did you used to dance to as a kid when you jumped on your mum's bed? 

Erm, it'd have to be Mary J Blige and Wyclef Jean - 911. My mum loves that song. 

 

We love that song too Grim. We love it too. Well thanks for your time. I don't think you've won our bottle of port I'm afraid but that doesn't matter cause you're Hitler.

Sian, another great

Sian, another great interview. I like the way that the interviewees seem to open up to you quite easily and expose some stuff about themselves...without even realising in some cases! Always enjoy your leftfield questions, especially when the answers are a little unexpected or random. Genuinely lovin' your work young lady. Keep it up! K

Anthony: I feel as though

Anthony: I feel as though you've attacked everyone whose commented in saying that. The things the people who'd previously commented had said thought it was funny and an interesting insight to Griminal without the usual music related questions and as Ctrl.Alt.Shift is all about empowering 18-25 year olds in global issues and social injustice I'd say that the things they found interesting whether it's right or wrong that they found it interesting says something (and not that they're "twats") it says that there's an obvious need for things like this even if all they did gain from it was that "the majority the world live on under a pound a day." so "a pointless interview" it isn't; and not knowing the politically correct answers to these questions doesn't show ignorance at all it shows lack of education on a subject, a subject which is rarely brough up in a manner that a young person can understand. Hence Ctrl.Alt.Shift. Hence Question Of Port vs Griminal. Hence your comment. You share some valid points, but when worded how you've commented I find it hard to want to listen to you. Question Of Port is a series and the idea is to NOT brief the interviewee before hand to see what kind of response they would automatically give. If we can show people these answers and show people that young people don't know enough then maybe people with more power will let us do something about it!

@Anthony2, in reference to

@Anthony2, in reference to your HIGHLY informative comment on the credibility of this website, Griminal's education and the details of the holocaust, I think that people like YOU are much more of a bigger problem to Youth culture and society. You've read a short interview with one artist and have decided to tarnish the rest of the young population with your negative views that the youth are irresponsible, lazy, selfish, disrespectful (the list goes on). Mate its just an interview. I really don't think that it was Griminal's intention to inspire the readers of this interview to become the next Adolf Hitler...anyone who is that easily-influenced needs to be locked up! I think that both the system and parents are to blame for your poor sense of humour and lack of open-mindness.

I don't believe we should

I don't believe we should dwell on his ignorance or stupidity, because that's reality to him. This interview is a prime example of someone who hasn't been educated on human rights and world responsibilty, but if it was about music and british youth culture, his answer's would have been valid and made sense, and these comment's wouldn't be talking about the general overview on how stupid he is, or how uneducated he is, they would be encouraging him to further himself in his career. In society today, everyone has an opinion, which we're all entitled to, at least he was genuine enough to answer his questions in full, and honestly. C'mon when was the last time you saw a raw interview such as this one? I can proudly say, Sian you did a good job, would have been far more satisfying if he elaborated on his answers and possibly knew the subject a bit more. But overall he's just being Griminal init.

Tyr-one: Apologies for my

Tyr-one: Apologies for my typo, but then again you spelt ‘maybe’ and ‘kind’ wrongly. And in answer to your question I do my fair share of positive things for youth and society in general. Sian: I agree people do not become more educated through negativity. But there is a number of issues here. 1. He has been given a platform as a minor kids’ celebrity by a magazine that deals with serious issues such as poverty and human rights. Therefore, regardless of whether he is uneducated or not, he should have been given some briefing on the subject questions prior to the interview, or indeed have been censored. His answers are offensive and bring absolutely no positive contribution to ctrl.alt.shift or indeed the world in any way. Has he any idea that 6-million men, women and children were gassed or shot point blank in the head during the holocaust? 2. He is just one example of many youth role models who serve as a negative influence on an easily influenced demographic. 3. One of the most worrying aspects of the interview is; rather than comment on his violent remarks and references to Hitler, people have chosen to comment on other silly aspects of the interview. 4. I think the insult makes a mockery of the rest of the site and the good work it is doing and seeking to do within society. It is out of place and irrelevant. 5. One thing you have uncovered with this interview is the extreme prevalence of ignorance, stupidity and irresponsibility of our youth and youth culture in general. They seek to learn nothing of life and aspire to a life of selfishness, laziness, abuse of freedom, disrespect of others and their environment and a general lack of interest in anything other than themselves of material gain. Indeed both the system and parents are to blame for poor schooling and lack of discipline.

No disrespect to you, who you

No disrespect to you, who you work for and how old you are. But everyone is entitled to their opinion whether you like it or not. I didn't know you conducted how interviews were given and are responsible for telling people Griminal is an example of a youth role model. He is who he is. He can say what he likes. I guess you'll say he needs media training to say the right things. You've got too many buzz words and stats to even make me assume you support grime music. Whether its a contribution to CAS or not, if it brings his fans to the page, is that not enough to make readers aware and perhaps want to make some form of difference - from his "offensive" answers

This is such a class

This is such a class interview, and Anthony instead of making bad comments mayb you need to learn how to spell "BNP", and what kinf of example are you setting for youth "twats", thats what I thought. And what a lucky guy he saw Mz Brat nacked, lol

Interesting comment Anthony.

Interesting comment Anthony. Maybe instead of putting his answers down you could try and understand how these questions are perceived through the eyes of someone who's not faced with the reality and seriousness of these questions in some cases rather than passing judgement on the bad points you could be offering some facts and constructive criticism. People don't tend to become more educated when faced with negativity. Thank you for reading though and for your comment, it says something that you took the time out to read it in the first place and that's appreciated.

What a pointless interview,

What a pointless interview, though the interviewer did do her best to squeeze something inspirational out of him. Another ignorant role model for the kids to look up to, who knows, maybe he will make Hitler an icon for youth culture. You should have asked him what he thought of the BMP and then explained the similarities with Hitler’s regime; that might have made him slightly more aware. Honestly I despair at why these twats are given a platform. Still, at least he is well travelled - Ayia Napa - innit....

So sushi's actually really
