The latest saviours of rap, a genre, if the prophets of doom are to believed, currently dying on its arse, are Philly’s Plastic Little. Where the fellow Pennsylvanian Fresh Prince claimed, tongue in cheek, that he could have beaten Mike Tyson, the PL boys insist they’re not at all thuggish, before hitting you with punch-lines including “but I do know how to punch and run” and “but I know how to shoot a gun”. Plastic Little: putting the hooray back into hip-hop.
