Arctic Monkeys have launched a tirade of words against Radio 1, Mark Ronson and hip-hop music.
Guitarist Jamie Cook led the verbal onslaught, saying: “English radio is terrible, and Radio 1 plays a lot of crap music. I realised that the other morning when I had the radio going.
“Even music I don’t usually listen to, like hip-hop, is obviously bad at the moment. There is no real hip-hop any more.”
Frontman Alex Turner then took over the baton, complaining about the omnipresence of hip-hop on commercial stations: “Timbaland is in every video. He is just standing there looking confused.”
Clearly on a roll, he continued to The Sun: “I hate all those Pop Idol singers. And let me tell you what I can’t stand – that ****ing R n’ B (Mark Ronson's) cover of (The Smiths') Stop Me If You Think You’ve Heard This One Before.”

I bet that they look good on the scrapheap.
They’re sort of right, I think hiphop’s going through a pretty bad phase at the moment (although there’s some good hiphop out there: T.I, The Pack, Dem Franchize Boys, Ghostface, The Game, Murs, Clipse, MF Doom, Lil’ Wayne etc).
The new Mark Ronson album sounds horrible though (and so does Radio 1).
