(AllHipHop News) International superstar Kanye West recently sat down with BBC Radio 1’s Zane Lowe for a heavily publicized interview where the Def Jam recording artist called himself the number one rock star on the planet among other things. Now one of England’s most celebrated rappers has offered his opinion on Mr. West’s grand statements during the Lowe Q&A. According to Dizzee Rascal, Kanye may not be the best person to represent Hip Hop at the moment.

“I think he’s going through some stuff, man. I wouldn’t make him the spokesperson for Hip Hop right now,” Rascal told The Daily Star.
Rascal may be from East London but the 28-year-old has spent significant time in the States. His experiences in America heavily influenced his latest studio album The Fifth released on September 30th.
The 16-track project features production by Will.i.am, RedOne, and A-Trak. The Fifth also includes the songs “A### Like That” featuring Sean Kingston and “H-Town” featuring Bun B and Trae Tha Truth.
