i actually just saw what he looked like for the first time when i opened the website and i am shocked he is white.
it actually makes him even more ridiculous. i thought the guy was a joke even when i thought he was black.

none of you know what you are talking about. Westwood has been instrumental in hip hop in the UK, he helped start Kiss Fm. he has been broadcasting hip hop since the mid 80s.

I have never watched AliG longer than 10 seconds. I'd rather put a lead pencil in my eye.

Borat was the best character tho

I know dude gets mad props from old school to present major hip hop acts. Hes been in the game for a minute and is very influential in it. I have heard of him and am in Texas!

Is this some kind of absolutely f*cking ridiculous joke? It's bad enough people act this way over here. Please don't be infected. There's a vaccine for this kind of stuff, it's called education.

yes, it's real - he's a bit of a twat. when he first started he was OK, now he thinks he's a pimp-ass, mofo, player - blast off.

He's a wigger extraordinaire and probably the most unintentionally funny man on the planet. Long live Westwood *BOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!!*

The weird thing about Westwood is that he's got to be nearly fifty and he's still pimping the big dog baby boy (or something), as I believe he would put it.
I used to by a magazine called "Blues and Soul" in the mid-late 80s and people were complaining about him then!! He was a big Deep Purple fan at school I seem to remember according to one of the letters printed in the mag.
He had a slot on the UK's first through-the-night TV programme called Night Network and I used to video it to watch old Run DMC videos or see Biz Markie beatbox live in the studio (amazing what he could do).
Westwood has been playing hip hop in the UK forever which at one time was a big deal as pretty much all the other radio DJs in the UK in the 80s were "hilarious" personality DJs who played the top 40 and nothing else ever.
Unless you could get pirates like KISS you weren't going to hear anything good.
Westwoods problem is he's kind of evolved with hip-hop and whereas he used to be quite underground playing PE before they were known etc. , he's just followed hip-hops acension to global domination and homogenisation and become quite mainstream and shit. A parody of how it used to be unfortunately.
