Does anyone know what Daddy G actually does to justify getting paid? The odd bit of dreary rapping and picking up huge pay cheques...

I'll enlighten you. He writes, produces and performs on Massive Attack's albums. This justifies getting paid in my book.

If you lived here in Bristol my idealistic friend you'd know that he has a rep for being a nice bloke but doing precisely sod all work. He flits about getting paid a fortune for playing records and pops into the studio a couple of days a year to lay down some of his sub-par rapping, and that's about it.
