It seems La Roux, Elly Jackson, has started Beef with the Urban Music Scene. In an interview with The Guardian, last week, she said “George Michael wrote Careless Whisper when he was 17. I didn't see Tinchy Stryder writing a song like that when he was 17, but he still gets the same praise.” In response Stryderman, then tweeted “Why does La Roux care what sort of songs I did or didn't write when I was 17..?” However, it doesn’t only seem to be Tinchy Stryder taking offence to this, Tulsia (N-Dubs) has now joined the beef, and branded La Roux “a hater”. Who side are you on?

So, what do you think about this? Is La Roux Right, are our Urban UK Artists creating more praise then good music? Or is this beef nothing more than a publicity stunt?

Discuss.
