A US rapper is due to meet Tory leader David Cameron for a "summit" to discuss the effect of the genre's lyrics on young people. Rhymefest - real name Che Smith - asked to meet over a "cup of tea" after hearing the politician's criticism of DJs for playing violent songs. Such music "encourages people to carry guns and knives", Mr Cameron told Radio 1 earlier this year, suggesting it should be banned from the airwaves. Rhymefest, 29, who prefers to avoid such subjects in his lyrics, wrote to Mr Cameron challenging him to sit down with a rapper face to face. A spokesman confirmed the pair would meet on Thursday - probably in the Tory leader's office in the House of Commons. But Labour MP Stephen Pound told the Daily Mail newspaper it was a "step too far" in Mr Cameron's efforts to win the youth vote. A source close to Mr Cameron insisted that the meeting was not intended as a "PR stunt" and would be "totally private". "He asked to meet with David many months ago, we agreed and this was the first slot in the diary," the source said. "We are absolutely adamant that it is not a PR stunt and so it will be totally private."
