The STREETS

[Nut Butter]

Has anyone given their new album a spin? I'm not a big hip-hop fan, but I gotta say I'm blown away. Funny, witty, good use of clichés, just plain fun!

i've only heard original pirate material, but i think it's cool.

 

[deadair]

some times his delievery doesn't do it for me, but yeah... this is a pretty solid effort.

I enjoy them. They're probably the only thing rap that I would ever listen to.

the accent used to drive me crazy at first, and i also used to think it was kinda gimicky because of that. upon giving it a second chance i really like it, the lyrics are really witty and its all around really well done.

The debut is far better than the new one, I think, but I like the new one, too.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN—Advertising executives say they have hit upon an ingenious new way to target blacks: Mount a campaign that co-opts their own language and musical style. "Many blacks enjoy 'rapping' music," said Briggs & Adams Advertising president Sherman Roe, who developed the campaign for HospCare HMO. "And what better way to tap into their market than by 'rapping' good health to them?" Roe's campaign employs the use of a black teenager doing a "rap" for good health. Billboards of the campaign have been put up in black neighborhoods, and radio and TV ads have aired on black-oriented stations in the area. Roe predicts area blacks will, as a result, be "'rapping' happy with their HMO service."

I think there was one song on the CD that I liked. There is better rap out there imo.

it's a very typical London accent. I should've, but haven't listened to either of the albums through.

I just got OPM in the mail yesterday and, indeed, it does have higher highs, but also lower lows IMO. Some tracks are pure genius, others, pretty cringeworthy... the dance-y ones especially.
