OVERVIEW: After buying Snoop Doggs ‘Doggystyle’ album aged 11, Elliot Gleave aka Example, penned his first Dogg-inspired rhymes much to the chagrin of his Fulham based folks and to the delight of his young homies. Fourteen years later and while he’s still informed by heavyweight rappers like Snoop Dogg, Example’s points of inspiration are varied to say the least. Last summer he was known as a bootleg piss taker - thanks to a rework of Lily Allen’s ‘Smile’ (“You’re switchin it on me cos you’re needy love, look don’t be bitter cos you aint Cheryl Tweedy”) - and then as a socially conscious wordsmith after releasing ‘What We Made’, a song about mankind’s seemingly never-ending desire to self-destruct. With his innate contradictions you might think Example’s a little confused, but he’ll definitely entertain either way. With a catchy chorus sampling Muddy Waters, shout outs to Pizza Express and Nandos. ‘I Don’t Want To’ has all the ingredients we’ve come to expect from an Example track. This tale of modern courtship by the extrovert MC is set to crossover from clubs to daytime radio.
