Tell me a rapper that doesn't butcher the English language.
I bet you can't.
Also, you seem to be under the impression that Lady Sovereign is most popular with the people you call Chavs. I'd argue that this isn't the case.
And despite trying to write a more balanced argument in your last message, you still slip into insult and generalisation. I'm sorry if you feel surrounded and victimised by a group of people, but it does explain your mentality a bit better. But come on, stupid? How many 19 year olds do you know with a talent like that, or the drive and belief in her talent that she has?
Do you not think your anger would be better directed at the myriad of teenage girls singing about sex and the record companies that peddle their trash to young girls? OK, fair enough, you don't like Lady Sovereign, but she writes it herself, she's not being told what to wear and say. Even if I don't like something, if it's honest and real I'll back it every time against most of the stuff that is classed as music these days.
If you do have an open mind, which I'm hoping you do, try listening to either of her collaborations with The Ordinary Boys. She remixed their single "Boys Will Be Boys", and they remixed her single "9 to 5". Both are well worth a listen.
As for your rose-tinted view of the past: you do realise that it's exactly that, don't you? I'm interested in whther you actually believe what you say, or whether you just get yourself worked up and say things you don't really mean.
If you want a list of past examples of bastardised language in songs from the last 50 years, then let me know and I'll send you some examples. There's loads. And as for making up words, well, if no one did that, we'd still be grunting. Do a bit of reasearch, if you're honestly interested in a debate. Go to a search page and check out how many words Shakespeare made up or bastardised to fit his sentences.

This is fun.
