The Streets

[Super Jamie]

anyone listen to triple J a couple of weeks ago? the feature album was 'a grand don't come for free' by The Streets. now i liked his first album, so i got this one too. does anyone else like this guy? all my friends who i play the album for it hate it :S

 

ps: this is the coolest thing i've ever seen :)

i don't mind them...i haven't heard any of their new stuff...but there were a few songs on the first album that i liked

 

it's kinda wierd...hip hop style lyrics with wierd music...buts it different & good :)

[Super Jamie]

yay the closest thing to another mike skinner fan i've ever found!

 

the music on the second album is wierder, but the lyrics are better. its actually quite a nice album, tells a good little story, you can really feel what's going on in some of the songs

there was a stage there where i could've become quite a fan but someone stuck the 1st cd on repeat 4-5 times in one night at a party somewhere & a mate had this cd in his car for months and it kinda affected me adversely

 

i'll have to have a listen...if the lyrics flow better than i reckon i'll get the bug again...just have to make sure i don't overkill it

mm i know what u mean, i usually get obsessive over a cd, listen to it for about 6 weeks straight and then only touch it a few times a year haha

havent heard of them. what kind of music are they?

[Super Jamie]

english hiphop, mostly beats goin on in the background while a pom talk-rhymes about trivial crap - girls, drugs, smsing, mates, etc. the streets is a dude named mike skinner, you could probably find some samples here http://www.the-streets.co.uk/ or on the net
