Does anyone listen to this guy, Mike Skinner, aka The Streets. Simply amazing imo. He's a one man band, does all his own beats and lyrics. It's UK garage/rap/grime genre, but I didnt really like rap until I found him and he opened me up to alot of other things such as Artful Dodger. If you havnt ever listen to him I reccomend his first album "Original Pirate Material." And uh if I was to pick a song for you to listen to off of it, I would have to say "Same Old Thing" or "Turn The Page." Yeah Yeah, I know this album came out in 2001 or 2002 (cant remember) but if you havnt heard of him or listened to him its his best album imo. None of my friends were much into rap/garage type stuff either but after they heard him they listen alot of different bands in those genres.
Figured I would try and enlighten everyone to this amazing artist, that is if you didnt know about him already.
Please read the wikipedia if you're interested in him, it will clear up some of his lyrics in his album "A grand dont come for free." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_streets
yeah, you should get his first album "original pirate material" its one of those u listen to a couple times through to get the whole feel of it. But all his albums, he only has 3 atm, are just as good as the others, but my fav is OPM.
hm, yeah, thats a weird combo. so are u interested in him to actually buy/download any of his albums or is it just "o, he's pretty cool," and then probably never listen to him again? just wondering.
aw ic. in an interview he said the people who download his music is just a compliment to him lol. hm other songs i reccomend are "pragin out" "cant con an honest jon" "the irony of it all" "has it come to this"(AMAZING!) god so many, there are only like 3 songs of his i dont like, and pretty much all the others ones are equal to each other. Some of his songs start out kinda strange, but then once the song really starts then its awsome.
Sorry but i hate it.
First, its just not my style. Second, it sounded ridiculous to me and i probably wouldnt listen to it even if i wouldnt hate rap/hip-hop or whichever it is.
I think rap is a good way for criticism and such. But its less artistical.
I dont mind that you dont like it, but to say its less artistical.. well thats just not true. All his lyrics are very artistical, rap is just as artistical as rock.

Well you should make another title. Maybe something like "Listen to this!" and more people will come and listen to it.
