  You're right, which makes him the only mockney out of the three of

  Regardless of background or schooling, Lily Allen is a Londoner, so
  I'm getting what I expect from her. Whether she can actually sing or
  not is another question. BBC 6 Music love her. She's played just
  about every hour, as are the Arctic Monkeys who are very much not
  mockney. Damon Albarn, however, is.

I'm no expert on mockney, but after Gorillaz and now the new project, The
Good, the Bad and the Queen, Albarn can pose all he wants. The guy is
slowly but surely turning into the sort of artist that everybody is going
to be talking about in 30 years.
