hahaha I don't mean chav speak as in ''DA MAN'' I mean he seems to know what hes talking about , and it was the only name I recognised from the videos I seen on youtube. I don't think ive ever used the saying ''da man'' in a conversation , well maybe when talking about Samuel l. Jackson in pulp fiction cos he was cool as f**k in that
