Mama - Who Da Man?

Mama - Who Da Man?(East West)

Did Richard Blackwood - a seemingly intelligent, sussed
dude for a TV presenter - choose
to embarrass himself with this
half-assed Will Smith-lite rap record, or was he pushed? Built around Junior's 'Mama Used To Say', the laughable title is eclipsed in badness only by young Blackwood's less than able rhyming skills. How about:
"If you want more Channel 4
know the score/Rolling with The Richard Blackwood Show/Way to go, sky's the limit"? This is not slang editorial.

TV presenters have never
really been known for their musical skills - save for Terry Wogan's 'Floral Dance' - and this is no exception. Keep telling the jokes, dude. It's a lot less embarrassing
for everybody.
