1) Plan B (real … Read Full Bio ↴There are several artists and bands with this name:
1) Plan B (real name Ben Drew, b. 1983) is a rapper from Forest Gate, London. From the age of 11 he attended Anglo European School in Ingatestone Essex, before transfering to Tom Hood, an inner-city comprehensive. He has described his character, in these school days, as "a bit of a cunt". He is signed to 679 Recordings, home to UK rap act The Streets. His unique sound is characterised by his use of acoustic beats and lyrics involving drugs, rape, murder and underage sex. He was placed fourth in the BBC's "Sound of 2006" competition.
His second album was released in April 2010; The Defamation of Strickland Banks was released on 12 April 2010. The album is a departure from the sound heard on Plan B's debut album Who Needs Actions When You Got Words, with the rapper's sophomore effort showcasing much more of his singing ability. Lyrically the album's songs tell the fictitious tale of one Strickland Banks, a sharp-suited British soul singer who finds fame with bitter-sweet love songs like the album's opener "Love Goes Down", but then loses everything when he ends up in prison for a crime he didn't commit.
The album was a great success, reaching #1 in the UK album charts, and three singles from the album reached the top 20 of the UK singles charts, with 'Stay Too Long' reaching #9 and 'She Said' reaching #3.
The Ill Manors Songfacts reports that on March 23, 2012 Plan B released “Ill Manors,” the title track of the soundtrack to the British film of the same title, which he wrote and directed.

2) Plan B (real name James van Leuven) is a producer/musician from Seattle, WA. On Like a Ship Sailing, Plan B's James van Leuven steps beyond his drumming for Automaton and allows percussion to be the focus. Laying a foundation of trip-hop beats, van Leuven (who handles nearly all of the instrumentation) implements sampling and crawly guitars and bass. The record possesses the darker atmospheres of trip-hop but without the accompanying vocals. There's also a spy film aura that permeates much of the album. Sometimes it gets a little too dark with the disturbing line, "Howard just said he was going to blow his brains out next Tuesday." It's balanced by a child asking, "Have you ever been in love?," in "Love," which flirts with breakbeats. "Come out Strong" has a finger-snapping cool jazz vibe with trumpet from Bill Jones. This project might be "plan B" for van Leuven, but his great job with live percussion makes it grade-A post-rock.
After the release of 2 LPs in 2002 and 2006 + 1 EP in 2003, Plan B Seattle was over-shadowed by the pop success of the british Plan B Ben Drew in 2006. Since then Plan B Seattle has stopped releasing music under this moniker.

KIDS
Plan B Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
This is my time now ya getme?
Fucking cunts!
A'ight, you best listen up yeah! Ay!
I break a bottle over some bwoy's head,
Stab a broken piece into the poor cunt's leg,
I leave him in an alleyway screaming and bleeding to death,
What do I care? 's not like I'm gonna get caught,
Anyways, killin' ain't a crime it's a fuckin' blood sport,
An' I'm out to notch up as many points as possible,
Show all the kids on my estate that I'm unstoppable,
'cause in my world, respect is the only thing that matters,
If I ain't gettin' enough, someone weak enough for me to beat is gettin' battered,
His self-esteem's gettin' shattered,
Into tiny little fragments on the floor and scattered,
What can I say,
Life ain't fair but I don't care,
'cause I'm untouchable like Elliot Ness,
So tie a bandana round my head like Rambo,
Shoot you on your fuckin' doorstep like Jill Dando.
Pick up an AK and spray,
That's the mentality of kids today,
Fuck a girl and get her pregnant, underage,
That's the mentality of kids today,
Even when I got dough I won't pay my way,
That's the mentality of kids today,
Stab a yute in the leg down an alleyway,
That's the mentality of kids today,
Even when I got cash in my pocket I ponce,
Have it, all for free, anyfin' that I want,
No I smoke all your weed get right off ma bonce,
Never repay the favour back, not even once,
'cause I cat, like a jack on roll that don't,
Need the dough but the greed takes control,
An' if I go lookin' for a fass', to harrass,
Just to hear him tell me he's brass',
I'm like "Trust me blood, you don' wanna make this hard,
Hand over ya money, ya phone an' ya pokemon cards,
Real fast or else,
I'll go on like smokin' cigarettes,
Bad for you're health",
Got one, hell of a mean streak,
Causin' beef on the street,
I pray on the weak,
Forever lookin' for fresh meat,
I need to eat,
Keep feedin' my ego,
I'm a control freak,
An' I'm only 14 years old.
Pick up an AK and spray,
That's the mentality of kids today,
Fuck a girl and get her pregnant, underage,
That's the mentality of kids today,
Even when I got dough I won't pay my way,
That's the mentality of kids today,
Stab a yute in the leg down an alleyway,
That's the mentality of kids today,
In the eyes of the law, I'm not old enough to have sex,
My balls ain't even dropped yet, an' I've had skets,
Lyin' on they backs, flat on the floor,
Virgin pussy gettin' fucked till it's raw,
I go, out on the chirps, lookin' for birds,
Some dumb young bitch to fuck, so hard it hurts,
An' what's worse, is that I do it bareback,
'cause when I put a condom on there's bare slack,
Nah my dick ain't big enough for that,
So I just stick my ding-a-ling inside her snatch and that's that,
If I see somethin' I want, I'll take it,
Girl won't give it up, then I'll rape it,
Break it,
Impenetrate it,
I'm gonna make it happen, impregnate it,
If she has a yute I'll act like it ain't mine,
Make her have an abortion for the eighth time.
Pick up an AK and spray,
That's the mentality of kids today,
Fuck a girl and get her pregnant, underage,
That's the mentality of kids today,
Even when I got dough I won't pay my way,
That's the mentality of kids today,
Stab a yute in the leg down an alleyway,
That's the mentality of kids today,
There's a gangster called Bonehead, who runs tings round my area,
Shit he's involved in couldn't get any hairier,
If you're on his hitlist, he'll find you no matter where you are,
Fuckin' with him's worse than catchin malaria,
He's the most notorious drug dealer on my estate,
Sells copious amounts of heroin and crack cocaine,
Double cross him and you'll feel the pain,
Does more dissappearin' acts on street than David Blaine,
An' I wanna be just like him,
Ridin' in a blacked out bimmer with alloy rims,
Doin' drivebys, Firin',
An AK47 out the window an' ting,
See that kinda shit impresses me,
'cause I got, an ignorant mentality,
The way I see, is the way to be,
So arrogant, nothin' will ever get through to me,
Pick up an AK and spray,
That's the mentality of kids today,
Fuck a girl and get her pregnant, underage,
That's the mentality of kids today,
Even when I got dough I won't pay my way,
That's the mentality of kids today,
Stab a yute in the leg down an alleyway,
Bwoy, that's the way it is today,
The song "Kids" by Plan B is a vivid and raw depiction of the mentality of some young people today. The lyrics describe a dangerous and violent world where respect is earned through acts of brutality, and where the only thing that matters is power and control. The verses discuss various crimes or immoral activities like stabbing someone in an alleyway, using an AK47, having unprotected sex, and impregnating women underage. The outlook is bleak and hopeless, with the singer seeming to revel in their delinquent behavior and power trips.
The song highlights the way young people can internalize and perpetuate destructive cycles of behavior, often fueled by the need to prove oneself in a harsh and unforgiving world. The lyrics are a potent warning about the consequences of societal neglect and systemic failures, which can leave many young people feeling abandoned and disconnected, with few options but to turn to criminal activity as a means of asserting themselves and seeking out a sense of purpose and belonging.
Overall, "Kids" is a provocative and challenging piece of music that forces listeners to confront some harsh realities about the state of modern society and the lives of young people who are often overlooked and misunderstood. It serves as both a wake-up call and a call to action, urging everyone to do better and work towards a more just and equitable world for all.
