Dizzee Rascal Flexes His Video Budget

Five years later, I still love Dizzee Rascal more than any of his grimy contemporaries, and continue to persist in my pipe dream that he will one day “break” America. (Hey, anything’s now possible in a world where Daft Punk are commonplace sample fodder.) Even as his music’s gotten slicker, there’s always something charming about Diz’s videos–and the Pop Idol/American Idol gags in “Flex” are no different–but if anyone deserves/needs a noirish, high-gloss Hype Williams clip, it’s this guy.
