Tricky on 'arrogant' Damon Albarn: 'I wouldn't work with him again'

Tricky has managed to criticise Damon Albarn for being "arrogant", Bono for hanging out with politicians, Prince, The Beatles, all in one ten-minute documentary. Watch it below.

Taking part in a documentary for Fact TV, the musician discussed working with Blur's Damon Albarn on 1996 album Nearly God, on a song that was never released.

"I wouldn't work with Damon Albarn again," he said. "We were talking through Leeds and we were in this fucked up area and I looked around and I said, ’These kids got nothing’, and he said to me, ’They’ve got us’... and I just thought, ’These kids are going in and out of jail, they ain’t go no money, how are we, especially you … maybe you could say that about me, but I haven’t got that arrogance to say, 'These kids they’ve got nothing, they’re out hustling, but they got me’ - I wouldn’t be that arrogant."

He also criticised artists who associate with politicians - no matter which side of the political fence they sit: "Now you've got Bono hanging out with the Pop and Obama. As a musician to hang out with a politician, I think it's disgusting. David Cameron? Obama? I wouldn't shake their hand for £1,000,000."

He then told a story about being stopped from delivering drinks to a friend in a club because Prince was dancing - an experience that led him to throw out all of his Prince CDs.

Basically, it's all gold, and you'll just have to watch the whole thing above to get the full story. Tricky's tenth album, Adrian Thaws, was released last month.
