I personally dont have an issue with n dubz, there not the best but they do put out some catchy stuff. Especially Dappy and Tulisa, Fazer makes some nice beats also.

The problem with N Dubz is that dappy is very much in your face and puts out an image that makes hip hop look a bit stupid, but at the same time this is what appeals to a lot of people who will cop an n dubz album

here is a thread did on them couple of years back http://www.dubcnn.com/connect/index.php?topic=158608.0

They're meant to be coming over to the US to try and make it. They've signed to Def Jam and will probably collaborate with some US artists to get some exposure. Tbh they were one of the top selling rap acts last year. I doubt many US rappers sold over 400k

i dont know to be honest, i dont follow the grime scene too closely. There are few members on here who will be able to tell you though.

Bizzle is saying they jacked  a hook from his tune. Meant to be taking them to court.


Wiley had some outburst on twitter saying N Dubz and Tinchy were dickheads cause they wouldnt return favours he'd done for them. Hence probably why he didnt turn up to the vid shoot for their song together and instead skepta did a verse.


Btw this instrumental is crazy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9se1INIPN-w

Yeah and tulisa apparently it was in the paper the other day.

As was Dappy nearly getting stabbed in a club and fazer getting robbed in the street, all of this was in the sun so probably a load of rubbish.
