Does anyone remember Mike Skinner aka "the streets", the British MC?. I normally hate this type of music but just stumbled upon the albums on my MP3.
You'll probably laugh but the first 2 records are genious.

His first couple are really good. The latter one's not so much - bitching about being rich and famous will never go well, and his last effort is too preachy. He can't sing either, and should stop trying to.
From the clips he has released (on youtube), his next and final album does sound promising.
I have to be in the right mood to listen to him, but I do like Skinner

yes yes, I do like his first two albums. Never gave the other two much of a chance. Great lyricist

Not a fan but he's so much better than crappy singles like "Dry Your Eyes" and especially "Fit But You Know It".
I'm no expert on the genre but for me the first two Dizzee LPs are far superior "garridge" albums to anything Skinner did.

The only good thing that came of his music was when Today FM released "Dry Your Eyes Becks" during Euro 2004
