But Plan B does just that on the album The Defamation of Strickland Banks - and it works.
The singer also played the evil hoodie chav working class scumbag 'gangsta' in the film Harry Brown that Michael Caine blew away at the end.
Just as the white rapper Eminem now defines the rap genre, it now appears that this album and the singer Plan B may well define The New Soul Movement, that will undoubtedly arise as a result of this album.
It reminds me of albums like Tricky's Maxinquaye or Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars by David Bowie, in that it is an album that literally no one else could make.
It reminds me of a male version of Back in Black by Amy Winehouse - a sound journey into the sordid underworld of London with a soundtrack of saxophones, sawn off shotguns, teen stabbings, strip clubs and betting shops.
The album sounds like a Marvin Gaye album from the late Sixties, mixed with a little Rage Against The Machine and British Urban Rap - it is very well produced, with slick superb songs and will be the soundtrack to much of the coming summer on the radio I am sure.
I bet that as soon as America gets to hear some of the tracks on this album, such as The Writings On The Wall, Traded In My Cigarettes, Stay Too Long and Love Goes Down - then we may see a white English Soul album conquer the United States charts.
Listen to the track Free on the album and its like are you hearing a Marvin Gaye track from the sixties being sung through a white English rapper.

What the hell are the BNP doing putting amarmite ad on the comercial?
No doubt the BNP have gone into the legalities but is this wise, it makes us look like a joke party, we don't need stunts like this to get attention, we get enough attention already let us not get it for all the wrong reasons!
Who's idea was this?
The BNP need to get this out, even tack it onto the BNP election broadcast - this is the end of democracy.
Harman want electoral reform to destroy democracy!
This couls crush Labour in Barking and Stoke if we can get the message out, let them know that Labour plan to rob them of their voice.
