When Holy Moly spoke to: Tim Westwood
Thu, 01/10/2009 - 14:06 by Mr. HM

We caught up with legendary Hip Hop DJ Tim Westwood and finally got to the bottom of his amazing twitter page where he seemed to be trying to shag his cleaner...

HM: Hello Tim! How are things?

TW: Life is good brother I got it going on

There are lots of changes at Radio 1 at the moment!

My situation is still strong - I'm still doing the Saturday show, but I've made a commitment to  1Extra, our sister station, to get that really happening. Keep this to yourself, but I reckon they  want me to train up with a view to taking over Scott Mills' show.

If anyone was a natural replacement for Scott Mills, it would be you.

I like to think so - I think Scott's looking quite vulnerable now.

Theres always a touch of vulnerability about that boy though…

He looks like a lost kitten drowning in a bath tied up in a sack with a brick in it in Wolverhampton…

Yes, that's what I meant. Now, when i mentioned I was speaking to you - EVERYONE wanted me to ask you about your Twitter page...

For real?

Yeah - you've got one of the most entertaining twitter pages, like, ever.

I appreciate you saying that brother.

People love it - so based on yout twitter life… Did you really watch American Gangster at 4:30am the other day?

Yes - I got in mad tired, but I was so stressed and I needed me some American Gangster - my favourite movie ever. I like the other American Gangster about the crack era. I watch them back to back too. But they get interrupted with fucking haberdashery promos - some girl trying to sew a button on.

What's the deal with your cleaner? It was a mini soap opera. The sexual tension was incredible!

I let her go man, it was terrible.

Oh no! What happened? Did you sleep with her in the end?

There was a communication problem - she couldn't speak a word of English, and then there was the one cloth thing...

The…one..what?

She'd only have one cloth - she'd walk out of the bathroom having cleaned the, you know, 'bathroom area' room and then wipe the kitchen surfaces. She had to go - it upset me. Then there was the mixing chemicals. She couldn't read the instructions so she just kept mixing by colour. She was mixing polish with floor cleaner. No man.

Did you really fall asleep standing next to a lady at a party in Thorn ton Heath?

Yes - that was at an old skool blues dance. I arrived at 4am - people were coming in still at 7 - I was just swaying next to this mature woman - it was quite nice! Then I lost my car!

But you've got a pretty unique car though - how did you lose that?

They all look the same in Thornton Heath at 7am man.

Yes I suppose they do. Who has smoked he most weed in the radio 1 studio?

HAHAHA I would deny all knowledge of that my brother! Those old days were just crazy man. I shudder when I think back to it.

So it was you then. Who's the best rapper in the world?

It's very much about Jay Z, but I'm into other guys different to him like Soulja boy and Gucci Mane - big fan of his. That guy is real hot.

Which hop hop record has had the most impact on culture?

Urm, different records for different eras. Run DMC and LL COOL J - LL was the first guy to lay off the relentless rhyming and put it in a pop song radio friendly format. Up until then rap records were a relentless 15 minutes of noise, but he brought verse/chorus to the hip hop table. Then came Public Enemy, NWA, Dre, Eminem, Jay Z, 50 Cent,Soulja Boy - It always changes.

Are you jealous of Pete Tong getting on the Tribe Called Quest record.

Dave Pearce man!

Ah I stand corrected! Now - I've got a question about Dave Peace…

"…"

Is it true his nipple got ripped off by someone pulling on his nipple ring?

That is a story I've heard many times before… but…. erm.. i've never seen dave pearce's breasts. He always wears a bra.

Probably for the best. What would you have said to Kanye after the VMAs?

I would said you called it wrong picking on the girl - he's got issues with himself.

What would the 15 year old Tim say to the erm *cough*, thirty something Westwood nowadays?

I like the way you handled that bro! He would see it's been a blessed life. It hasn't always been easy, but it's been blessed.

What's your motto?

Work hard, love what you do.

Crumbs! Tim Westwood, go off and twang Dave Pearce's bra. I believe respect is the word we leave on.

YEAH BROTHER! EASY!

Easy.

Tim can be heard on 1Xtra weekdays 4-7pm.
