Lethal Bizzle attacks Download Festival

But MC declares Leeds Festival set his 'best of 2008'

Lethal Bizzle used his set at Leeds Festival today (August 22) to launch an attack on the fans who bottled him at Download Festival earlier this summer.

The grime MC rapped out his opinions at at the start of his set.

"The Download fans don't want me to play/Fuck you anyway/I'm a fucking rockstar," he freestyled.

Bizzle proved to be in a confrontational mood throughout the set, frequently referencing the bottling between songs and encouraging crowd to boo Download Festival.

Playing to a packed Dance Tent, he ran through a familiar festival set, including 'Bizzle Bizzle' and 'Oi!', a track by his former group More Fire Crew.

He later interspersed NWA's 'Fuck Tha Police' with 'Police On My Back' and covered House Of Pain's 'Jump Around'.

For his final song, 'Pow' he climbed the speaker stacks and announced: "I want to see everyone. Say 'fuck you Download'. This has been my best fucking gig of 2008!", inspiring a huge moshpit.

Lethal Bizzle played:

'Intro skit'
'Bizzle Bizzle'
'Fire'
'Fuck You'
'Oi!'
'Police On My Back'
'It's A Shame'
'Jump Around'
'Pow!'
