"Your day will pass and you'll just be another person on the internet" – Wiley, on Ustream, two hours ago.
Right now one of Britain's most talented, eccentric and least appreciated musicians is broadcasting live to an audience of 192. He's been on-screen for the best part of the last two days and is – whether he knows it or not – helping to kill the practice of music journalism stone cold dead.
Wiley, a notoriously unpredictable grime producer and MC, has been filming himself for the last 48 hours and has provided more great quotes than you could squeeze into ten years of PR-led junkets. From advice on how to break the music biz ("Wiley's quite human, 'cos actually he puts his ear out and he listens to more than the others do. No-one don't show Skepta shit, because you know he don't give a shit and he won't listen.") to musings on religion ("Just wake up and live your life until you're dead. People get excited – 'We don't eat bacon. We don't eat that or this. We eat soya meat sausages. SOYA MEAT SAUSAGES'. Don't hype about bacon or beef or whatever. Fuck's sake bruv.") to his thoughts on hip hop today ("Eminem is the best battle rapper signed today. Mike Skinner though, he might make Eminem stop and listen.") this is Wiley – constantly honest, weird, dumb and, ultimately, just plain exciting.
In the last ten minutes he's given out his personal email, previewed snippets of works-in-progress and conducted business meetings over the phone – right now he's chatting about working with Nicki Minaj and Giggs. Before that he took the camera out to the park, left it on the grass and jogged off just to "see if anyone will nick it". Nothing I write can do it justice. Nothing can stop me watching.
You can't predict Wiley. The man who impulsively gave away the whole of his last album (and more) via Twitter because of a management tiff might get bored with Ustream as quickly as he logged onto it. So catch him while you can because this is the most open, frank profile of a musician you're going to see for a very long time.
