@leonnuggetz Good for you! He's got a helluva catalog. It's interesting to listen to his albums and follow the evolution. I suggest them all, though "purists" will argue he hasn't done much good since "A Grand Don't Come Free". Just a shame he decided to quit the music, but he gave us his all in his short career!
Hey there, like UK Hip Hop? Then check out our first track Unleash the Hounds! We're a new upcoming UK underground rap duo, subscribing would mean a lot! Thanks!
@PaulToThe2ndPower You what? The fact you refer to him as the lead singer says it all you don't understand the streets and the fact this song (and the whole album) is genuine experience that talks to thousands... I think you should give credit to someone who describes themselves as an 'urban poet' this is spoken word and done in this style for a reason. Learn how music works before you make stupid comments. You fail.
@mgreenyuk "Learn how music works?" I actually study music at university. Your first sentence isn't a sentence, and most of your comment has no punctuation. Maybe you should learn how GRAMMAR works before you criticize my opinion. Saying I fail isn't necessary. Maybe their style just isn't for me. I found the actual music and and lyrics quite good. I just thought the "urban poet"-ness of it actually detracted from the good qualities.
@PaulToThe2ndPower Granted I was a bit harsh, I just don't think mike skinner gets the credit he deserves. My first sentence is a sentence and my punctuation is bad because I couldn't give a damn! This is far from a marked exam... which you should understand doing a waste of a degree such as music.
@mgreenyuk To be honest, I don't think the last comment was any less harsh. My last response conceded to both things about the tune that I like AND the fact that maybe I just don't understand the style. Style is subjective, and while this song CLEARLY means much to you, I think the style is somewhat wasted on me. My intent was never to offend. I thought the internet was someplace where people could share their opinions freely. Clearly I was wrong. And music is my minor.
Man, is it me, or does The Streets rap so truthfully? He pretty much says what I've been thinking, and I thought I was the only one who thought like this.
lol first time i see this vid awsome thats what music is F*** topless models and fake selling points this is our reality lmao ordinary people not tryin to be someone there not lovin it
It reminds me of my goldfish, Finnie. He would just swim all day round and round his little bowl and yet he wasn't sad, no, never a tear did Finnie shead. Its how i'll always remember him; the morning light glancing off of his golden scales, his face fixed and happy. Maybe he was oblivious to the fact that he was trapped, doomed to swim round and round for the rest of his days, but i think that he knew of his confines and was content with them because he needed nothing but the water he swam in.
@franksred1 Because the streets no longer exist and don't think he wants much to do with it anymore... In several interviews he has mentioned he has had enough of all the shit that comes along with it.
Hi I’m a new up n coming artist from uk mixing and experimenting with tracks and i also make my own music, I’d appreciate it if you stopped by for 2mins and listen to my new material. TEAM 2011
Don't know why but there's something with how that woman carries herself and looks that i can't stand , its so annoying :(( like be more honered to be around those ppl or something ! can't get my finger around it dammit
@1rakaniszu1 naw my friend this is not grime. grime is well..... a bit grimier for one. the streets is a mash up of dub (not dubstep),dnb (not dave n busters) and hip hop sprinkled with a bit of wit.
Brilliant! Together with names like John Legend, Damian Marley and Talib Kweli (in my opinion ofc) I regard The Streets as the most talented musicians today making hip-hop.
you know what i like especially in this video? It´s kinda hip-hop, there´s a woman in it and she wasn´t forced to show her tits...the streets are great!
@fanaticbeatz The trick is, there are none shown. By this the woman is treated equal to the male protagonists of this video which fits perfectly with the fact that women are equal to men.
For you, I´d recommend many other Hip-Hop artists who only put women into their videos in order to look "good" and dance around in slutty ways, so that they distract you from the lyrics that are by the way mostly sexist, dumb and always the same. Or porn.
lol i love this song and i love mike skinner but i am a piano player and the keyboardist is not playing that lol yeah original pirate material fukin aweswome album , i had all mike skinners albums
i'm like a lot of the Streets songs, but can someone recommend some of his songs that are more hip-hop style bangers? Songs about relationships are cool but I was wondering if he had some harder or more boom bap hip-hop style songs. I'm sure he does.
love how this song goes with how i feel about this one girl right now but she is with someone else right now but she knows how i feel about her and she likes me back.
