Guest Choken One Report post Posted May 29, 2004 I hate the streets too... I mean seriously, The garbage can on the corner is just flat out annoying and does it REALLY need to be concrete? Apshalt would help so much more and what's with the god damn yellow lines...whatever happened to the streets keeping themselfs pure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KTID 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2004 I absolutely despise The Streets. What makes it even worse is that at the T In The Park festival last year, my friends made me miss The Charlatans in order to see The fookin' Streets!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MissMattitude Report post Posted May 29, 2004 All I seem to hear about is how genius Skinner's lyrics are: "I'm not trying to pull you Even though I would like to I think you are really fit You're fit but my gosh don't you know it" Genius? Ok... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2004 The Streets is a-ok in my book. I liked Pirate Material better than the new one, but this one might grow on me. And MissMattitude - while I won't necessarily say I agree that his lyrics are 'genius - it's kind of bullshit to take one part of one song and say that nothing he does is great. Any band/artist has some shit lyrics or songs. No one is perfect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DCMaximo 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2004 Saw the Streets at Reading- absolutely laughable tat. And "Has It Come To This?" is so god-awful that I thought it was a novelty single at first. Few herbs and a bit of Benson But don't forger the Rizla, Lean like the Tower of Pisa Liza, I'll raise yer, And this is the day in the life of a Geezer I'm giving your bird them feelings Touch yer toes and touch the ceiling We walk the tightrope of street cred Keep my dogs fed, all jungle all garage heads You're listening to The Streets You'll bear witness to some amazing feats Bravery in the face of defeat All line up and grab yer seat Cos Tony's got a new motor SR Nova driving like a joyrider Fucking terrible. "Don't Mug Yourself" was good though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2004 Roots Manuva > Dizzee Rascal, Though I want new material. The Streets is good, fit but you know it is awful but works in the context of the album, it's a story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
k thx 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2004 The Streets stuff is good when its mellow, crap when it goes all generic garage. The new album suffers a bit for the concept (see "Such A Twat") but Dry Your Eyes Mate is amazing for the type of song it is. Brilliant lyrics. Weak Become Heroes off the first album is goodness too. At the end of the day, you either love it or hate it, which is what great music does. As for British rap, it just doesn't fit in with the UK accent. Trip-Hop is more where its at. Faithless are cool too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haven't heard the new album yet, mostly because I've been listening to Dizzee Rascal again, pretty endlessly for the past few days. Oh, those Brits, always fighting for my earspace.

Guest TheGregWitul Report post Posted May 29, 2004 The Streets (Skinner) is incredible, especially his latest album. As a concept album, there are a couple tracks that don't really work that well on their own, but the first four songs and the final two are brilliant stuff. 'Empty Cans' is incredible, and while Skinner's 'flow' may come off awkward at times, the man has talent, and is one of a kind... That said, he is shit live (For the most part)... j.

Murmuring Beast 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2004 Basically, the music media are scared to death of missing the joke or that this guy might be a lyrical genius, so they give the album 5-stars just to be sure. If one magazine slates it whilst the others back it, it'll look really bad on their part, so everyone chickens out and calls it the album of the year. Not that it's any good or anything. It's just that no-one has the balls to say what they want about music for fear of looking unhip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
