I just turned on BBC news and they had a story about some German rapper responsible for such edgy lyrics as:

"in the ghetto, no one is satisified
on 300 euros a month benefits after deductions"

I wonder if there will now be a stream of British rappers complaining about how ridiculous our jobcentre is.

You are forgetting about the already existing 50 Cent classic:

Yo yo yo
This one goes out to the ghetto,
Keepin it real,
(Miscallaneous other stock phrases that prevent the actual song from beginning for at least a minute)
I'm in the UK for some reason,
Possibly to commit treason,
The benefits the job centre offer are small,
And half the time they find a spurious excuse to give you nothing at all,
They questioned me for an hour interview,
Asking every detail of my life and my flatmates and whether I had secret millions or a war pension I'm not kidding you,
I needed to find a job,
Instead of sitting around like a slob,
The job centre was moved too far away,
I thought that was a bit gay,
It used to be easy to get there,
Now its in the middle of nowhere,
Also to get housing benefit,
You have to go on another long walk to the council, which is shit,
Job seeking over the phone is annoying,
You can't see all the jobs you might soon be enjoying,
In conclusion, the job centre is crap,
That's the end of my rap.

I love it! I'm also a little bit terrified.

Why would Fiddy be in the UK? First Czech, now this? Isn't it bad enough that I live in the same country as him now?

To be honest, my knowledge of rappers is very limited and I couldn't think of a British rapper off-hand. Thus, fiddy was drafted in.

Very good, but isn't that William McGonagall's poem 'Ode to the Time I Tried to Get a Job'?
