ditto. I haven't even heard "the fifth" although this track from it is pretty nifty. is the album worth checking out?

Put it on 15 minutes. Yep, I think this album still has it.

Dizzee's verse on this from 2014 is good

saw skepta on his recent 'pop-up' UK tour & when the DJ on beforehand played tht^, the crowd went nuts. (also went mental for desiigner's panda).
skepta record isn't even as good as JME's from last year.

its not like he just fell off after BIDC, then suddenly popped up on daytime radio 1 with bonkers.

maths + englishworld outside (not that this makes it superior, but the intro to this sounds like james ferraro or OPN)pussyoleflexwanna be (though this really depends on how much you can tolerate lilly allen, i dont mind her, but she does push insufferability on this one)u cant tell me nuffinmy life feat newham generals
im stopping at tongue in cheek as this is such a shift that you might as well include the whole thing. i never listened to the 5th properly, but i liked the stupidity of bassline junkie.
pagans/couple of stacks from 2014 arent bad. the song with giggs was good too. but his taste in beats is pretty uninteresting.

'Bubbles' still bangs.

i laughed when i saw this was getting the full-on heritage album treatment in brooklyn of all places. still can't imagine a less exciting live experience than An Entire Album Played In Order

and especially not THIS album of all albums! my goodness.
dont get why RBMA put that BIDC show on in brooklyn either. surely it should have been in the assembly hall of his old secondary school?
― StillAdvance, Friday, 27 May 2016 10:20 (eight years ago) link
given the kind of gig it was it was entirely appropriate that he was far from its origins imo. brooklyn can have it
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Friday, 27 May 2016 10:22 (eight years ago) link
im fine with him doing one of those classic album shows (would only want to see it out of curiosity). its not really about making BIDC into some dull revered canon album, more allowing it to get the same dull revered canon treatment as other albums from other genres.

Oh yeah, I don't slight Showtime or M+E. Great songs on both. It's just BIDC arrived so fully formed, perfect union of sonics and voice.
