here's the title track, home sweet home

thanks jermaine!

Nice one!

it's out tomorrow, ain't it?

― tom west (thomp), Sunday, 19 June 2005 20:25 (twenty years ago)

I'm very impressed by this record (especially its) production. I'm surprised there isn't more talk about it here.

I have a t-shirt of it! Thanks Chantelle!

― Sean M (Sean M), Friday, 24 June 2005 19:59 (twenty years ago)

Excited!!!!!

― a real bear behind the microphone (nordicskilla), Friday, 24 June 2005 20:10 (twenty years ago)

Not terribly, but I still want to hear.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 24 June 2005 20:11 (twenty years ago)

Wait...Kano's only 19? Surely not.

― a real bear behind the microphone (nordicskilla), Friday, 24 June 2005 20:18 (twenty years ago)

The album is good! Although those looking for "rawness" might be advised to look elsewhere.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Friday, 24 June 2005 20:20 (twenty years ago)

I LOVE "How We Livin'". It makes me homesick and sad!

― a real bear behind the microphone (nordicskilla), Friday, 24 June 2005 20:22 (twenty years ago)

Although those looking for "rawness" might be advised to look elsewhere.

Definitely, but some of the production on this is really good.

― a real bear behind the microphone (nordicskilla), Friday, 24 June 2005 20:23 (twenty years ago)

I do sort of wonder who is going to but it, though (I will be).

― a real bear behind the microphone (nordicskilla), Friday, 24 June 2005 20:23 (twenty years ago)

buy

― a real bear behind the microphone (nordicskilla), Friday, 24 June 2005 20:24 (twenty years ago)

More people will buy this than the last Wiley album.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 24 June 2005 20:27 (twenty years ago)

Kano is made for Top Of The Pops! (has he been on yet?)

― a real bear behind the microphone (nordicskilla), Friday, 24 June 2005 20:28 (twenty years ago)

When this album is good, it's very very good, and when it's bad it's awful.

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 16:06 (twenty years ago)

More people will buy this than the last Wiley album.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 16:31 (twenty years ago)

some of it is quite embarassing, like the tracks where he tries to get all introspective. the beats are generally really good though.

only 456 people bought the wiley LP though.

― ppp, Tuesday, 28 June 2005 16:31 (twenty years ago)

the 'rock' tracks and the dreadful Mike Skinner one are the worst for me.

it's quite unfortunate that when you hit 'Boys Love Girls' at the end, you suddenly remember how stunning it could all have been.

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 16:39 (twenty years ago)

Thye could have put What have You Dun on it!

Who has heard the "Lethal Bizzle" album?

― Edgware General (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 16:39 (twenty years ago)

I've still only listened the one time.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 16:45 (twenty years ago)

i still am shocked they didnt put what have you done on it. and they only stuck boyz luv girlz on there as a hidden track. like theyre ashamed of it or something. but what you done - oh that track is so fantastic.

the bizzle album is good, lots of fun, and high energy, but after a couple of plays, you just think lethal is a bit of a joke. an energetic, fun, rousing joke, but a joke nonetheless. its that ridiculously pumped up hyper aggressive voice he raps with all the time that does it. i miss lethal from more fire crew era.

― ppp, Tuesday, 28 June 2005 16:51 (twenty years ago)

I never thought I'd say it, but I just miss the rest of the More Fire Crew.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 16:53 (twenty years ago)

me too. a lot actually. lethal needs them back. actually, he needs platinum 45 again too.

TS: platinum 45 vs Dexplicit

― ppp, Tuesday, 28 June 2005 16:56 (twenty years ago)

It's funny that the only record this year which gets "grime" right (in that it works best when it's many voices battling each other for space to exist), Roll Deep's album, is also unfortunately the one which uses the worst LEAST grime backing beats. Other than Essentials Heating Vol 2 which is better than all the rest of this stuff combined (except "When I'm Ere".)

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 16:56 (twenty years ago)

there's so much they could have put on it! 'What Have You Done?' obviously, yes, also 'So Sure' and 'Leave Me Alone' and 'I Hate Boyfriends' and and and, etc.

instead we get fucking 'Nite Nite' and 'I Don't Know Why'.

most of it is pretty great though, just that I've heard most of the highlights already.

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 16:57 (twenty years ago)

I don't think there is anything wrong with the production on the Lethal B record actually so DExplicit is okay by me.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 16:57 (twenty years ago)

does anyone know who is producing on it?

dexplicit is good, i just like the old platinum 45 stuff too. id take oi over pow.

― ppp, Tuesday, 28 June 2005 16:58 (twenty years ago)

producing on the kano album, i mean.

― ppp, Tuesday, 28 June 2005 16:59 (twenty years ago)

Plasticman did Hitman I believe. The rest sounds like DEx to me.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 17:00 (twenty years ago)

Oh the Kano album. No idea actually. I mean other than Diplo, Davinche and Jammer.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 17:01 (twenty years ago)

id like to know who produced ghetto kid...

― ppp, Tuesday, 28 June 2005 17:02 (twenty years ago)

Dear Grime people, please stop making artist albums, its not worth it cos you wont sell any anyway and itll prob be a bit of a cock up etc
thanx

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 17:07 (twenty years ago)

ambrose OTM

― Edgware General (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 17:08 (twenty years ago)

the girl on 'Brown Eyes' is Vula who tours with Basement Jaxx and sings on 'Oh My Gosh'

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 17:08 (twenty years ago)

well the kano album is actually quite good - its more like a diverse selection across the 'urban' spectrum and well, he does it all quite well, overall... he makes better songs than wiley, roll deep, and bizzle, overall.

dissapointed that terror did how we living, i would have liked to hear kano over one of terror's faster beats.

― ppp, Tuesday, 28 June 2005 17:08 (twenty years ago)

There should be more mixtapes like "Crazy's Murking Everybody Knows". ENOUGH albums already!

xp I like How We Livin

― Edgware General (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 17:09 (twenty years ago)

Wait, "Boys Love Girls" is Jammer isn't it?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 17:09 (twenty years ago)

he's still an amazing MC. the album is good, it's just that most of the tracks I hadn't heard previously are the weak ones ('Ghetto Kid' and 'Home Sweet Home' excepted obv)

the Terror production to put on this should have been 'Leave Me Alone'!

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 17:11 (twenty years ago)

Credits say 'Boys Love Girls' is produced by Kano, additional production by Menta

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 17:12 (twenty years ago)

"Boys Love Girls" is "Vice Versa" which is Jammer, right? Someone help me here. I feel like I am going crazy.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 17:13 (twenty years ago)

everyone thinks jammer did boyz..... but it was kano.

― ppp, Tuesday, 28 June 2005 17:14 (twenty years ago)

yes, alex

― Edgware General (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 17:15 (twenty years ago)

I am more confused now.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 17:19 (twenty years ago)

Jammer is credited as producing Vice Versa pretty much everywhere, including on the NASTY MIX CD that I hold in my hand.

― Edgware General (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 17:21 (twenty years ago)

Yeah google is pretty much indicating the same thing.
