i have known Alex or Skinnyman since we were around 13 14 years old, He went to George Orwell, and I used to go to school in camden and we used to chat up girls and look for girlfriends at this other school,and that's is and isn't irrelevant, I know his younger brother as well.
That aside I think Alex needs to stake stock of what has happened, in his life he has been shot at in the neck! he got ROBBED of his 1st major record deal advance and you cannot allow negative experience to COMPOSE and design your perceptions, judgements, definition, evaluations and emotions or feelings, the forces of nature LIFE itself is the biggest and singularly the highest most unstoppable will, do not let GIRLS who only want to be associated with Skinny's fame bring down your mindstate and you will see the results. Who is Agada? just some "chump that got stabbed in his nuts" in 94 and went on to see his attacker weak and FRAIL addicted 2 crack 2 years later in dalston begging for 50p for CRACK, the same Agada just for knowing skinnyman and standing around him at open mic rap tryouts got me watched by bigots of all shapes and sizes try to employ an " all black b-boy musicians are just a michael Jackson R-kelly sex scandal waiting to happen" white arts business funding saga stanza only to see those self styled "street knowledge" critics lacking insight into the human condition learning life from a T.V screen all or generally most of these "manz dem" that were gonna be rags to riches award winning stars develop mental health problems whilst i got a consumer credit license, More qualifications as an I.T consultant and the offer of a gold mine in Africa to develop from my father as wel as a credit union I have wriiten in Java and visual basic. skinny's sentence and more, the charges were a big shock!it's gonna be hard as hell for him to beat the nature and the gravity and the degree of the charges, i only lost my temper with my babymother when my son was diagnosed with Epilepsy and I found out from his primary school like a second class citizen, but i never hit her and I pay for his horse riding class on a saturday. Skinny ,you started out in a medium where you have to embrace forward elevation before EGO, mashing up a woman's ride? in the STREETS broad daylight like you are some american? America is NOT perfection fixup

Channel U is the only place im ever going to see skinny man overall,its not a race thing hes just a hes a douche bag, .. simple...

1. If you aint heard of Skinnyman or Mud Fam then I guess your either not into hip hop or only listen to commercial s**t. (or you are 12)

2. What's his race gotta do with it? Bit of reverse racism going on here I think. It's too easy to say he'd get a harsher sentence if he was black. We dont know all the details.

3. The way you talk depends on your upbringing and surroundings. BOTH of those things. I grew up on an estate but my parents taught me to talk 'properly'. I mean would you say a posh sounding black man is 'wrong'? Of course not. So stop being dickheads.

4. Dont believe anything you read.

WHO?????????????

Why are we talking about this white boy in a black paper...we have many isuses to sought out as people leave him and his race alone and lets focus on bein united and workin towards a common goal.

i bet half the people on here dont know half the story, i bet they dont evan really know who skinnyman is, he wouldnt do this s**t i dont think, i think that bitch is twisting s**t...

skinnyman is against the grain and the midia dont like it

free skinnyman, f**k the free world!!!!

You know what I love..how everyone who read the article judged him straight apon what was read. Seriously people get a life, the papers lie and so do jealous girls! On behalf of someone who knows both parties I say she should be locked up for her lies. YES FREE SKINNY MAN!! N I SALUTE ANYBODY ON THATS WAVE! Too everybody else reading this that has a problem or is supporting this sick woman I hope you to endure the same s**t she put him through. Then I hope you do time n I Hope you never get out again.

but does anyone from london speak anything other than patios anymore? unless they in court? even my white neice and nephew speak the speak and they 7 and 12

Skinnyman is NOT a man he is a coward for threatening a woman! He should be renamed skinnyboy for behaving like a childish bully! This so called rapper has spent so much time in prison he'll never learn his lesson or bring out a hit record! He will most probably try to hurt her when he comes back out to get famous! Its totally wrong to harass women for whatever reason! He must have small man syndrome! It's funny how Duran Braithwaite also from Islington got 4 years in prison for a simular crime & a 10 year restraining order-but I forgot skinnyman is not black he's the same colour as the judge! Men should not hit or intimidate women! Full stop! The voice newspaper needs to stop giving airtime to wanna be black men with no swagga! Islington ain't no getto! Come to south London he'll get into real trouble down here trying to go on bad! Islington must have ran out of real black rappers! Wasteman- why would you wanna act black when White men have an advantage in Britian they don't need qualifications to get a job unlike black men who always have to prove we are legit! Black people wake up & stop worshiping this fool!

Skinny didnt do any of this shit and nah he didnt loose jamaican slang

he should should stay in jail to reflect ~ after all how far do skinning men get ~when you deal london woman "

Never heard of him and why is he worthy of news in the Voice? Bwoy you are certainly scraping the barrel if this is the best news you can come up with - must do better!!

"Free Skinnyman"

Why?
So he can go and finish the job??

Getouttahere!

This guy is a great rapper, been listening to him for years, all his really conscious messages to the youth telling them of the harsh realities of life and penaties of crime, not just the legal penalties, but the sufferings of people who it affects too. Again, ive lost respect for him, ok, I dont know the ins and outs of the relationship and its breakdowns, she could have been a real b*tch, but even so, no one ever deserves that treatment, ever!

I hope Skinny learns his lesson, but I have my doubts, someone give that man a Bible please!

FREE SKINNYMAN!

FREE SKINNY!

first comment above is just foolish loads of black men talk like white people posh or cockney, yeah poor old black men who ALWAYS get the worst of it not always true.Black men get opportunities that white men don't have a look at the specialist support for only black people apply when looking at funding the community.black men use their position as much as white so try that out for size.Easy to hide behind "You don't know what it's like being a black man" crap .handle that truth Racist above ...Big Up Skinny for his talent * he is paying the price now almost thinks like a black man too.

F**k it two sides to every story women know how to push a mans buttons he probs just had enough big up skinny

I have never understood why people even give this guy the time of day! A 36 year old white man who thinks its okay to talk in a Jamaican slang! I guess why that why The Voice is giving him publicity! If he was black he would have got more time! I bet he lost his Jamaican slang when he was talking to the Judge! Undercover Racist!
