This ain't so stereotypical man,
Not for a stereotypical man,
It should be me that wants to get rid of you instead it's you that don't give a damn (what?),
It was meant to be a one night 'ting,
Nothing more than a little one night fling,
Now when I'm in need you're the one I ring I (I need you tonight).
"I Need You Tonight"

Stephen Manderson (born 1983), aka. Professor Green, is a British rapper. He's released three full length albums with a fourth on the way as well as an EP and mixtape and has had a UK number-one hit with his song "Read All About It" (featuring Emeli Sande).

He was married to Quality Street heiress Millie Mackintosh, well-known for her appearances on Made In Chelsea (a British Jersey Shore with posh people) for three years.

I wanna sing, I wanna shout, I wanna scream 'til the tropes dry out:

  • Boastful Rap: Frequently.
  • Grief Song: "Read All About It" is one about Green's dad, who killed himself when he was young.
  • Sampling: "Just Be Good To Green" samples "Dub Be Good to Me". "I Need You Tonight" samples the INXS song "Need You Tonight".
  • Suspiciously Specific Denial: Towards the end of "I Need You Tonight", a song about a girl giving him the runaround, he makes the point of saying it's just a song and in Real Life women chase him, not the other way round.
