Bought Mezza on the day it came out in HMV in the Arndale, not long after it was bombed by the IRA. Gatefold CD, still got it
The Streets is music? Who knew... First time I heard them, my mate said hey listen to this great new album! I thought I was listening to the radio. It's just talking. Talking isn't music, it's talking. Hey read this here what I'm writing. I'm thinking up words in my head and writing them, therefore it's poetry. No, not really. It's just writing.
British hip hop in general isn't very good compared to US but I think The Streets guy is a pretty good lyricist. Prolly my last British hip hop track here or "Grime" or whatever its called.. http://youtu.be/l-oDvgo-sg4
Van's got a new album out and he's touring the U.S...but only NYC and California. He's on the Tonight show sometime this week. http://youtu.be/v_9mODrWvaY
