Tim Westwood

Westwood catches up with Lil Wayne out in Miami, before he heads upstate, so to speak.

I missed all of 1Xtra live, despite having a nice vip backstage connect lined up.. PAR! but it looks like a big event up in Sheffield. Big looks for the UK scene too as it was all UK artists. Here's some backstage stuff:

Westwood interviews Chase & Status

"It's Dubstep who cares!".. Westwood has jokes on this. And +1 on the Bodeans cosign!

Part 2 after the jump

Radio 1's Fabio and Tim Westwood talk about their first dj sets at Gossips in 80s London Soho.

Take That is a big tune - here Wiley talks on the success of Rolex, everyone taking the blueprint, and why he's unreliable turning up to stuff.

"Making [Jay Sean] bigger over here by taking him over [to the states]" is both real talk and a ridiculous situation. UK acts have done a lot over the last few years, but in terms of the mainstream commercial market, US artists still have it.

Featuring various radio bits with Steve Sutherland and Westwood, plus footage of the concert at Hammersmith Apollo. Parts 1 + 2 here.

Westwood kicks it with Fat Joe - J.O.S.E. 2 drops next week.

Westwood goes into some ish on this. The point about djs in 100% true. Too often we see people rocking up with some nasty burnt cds and playing them, and not even thinking about how to rock a crowd or make things happen.
