Excited!!!!!

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

Not terribly, but I still want to hear.

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

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

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

buy

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

More people will buy this than the last Wiley album.

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

I've still only listened the one time.

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

producing on the kano album, i mean.

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

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

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

id like to know who produced ghetto kid...

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

ambrose OTM

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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

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

"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 (eighteen years ago) link

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

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

yes, alex

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

I am more confused now.

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah google is pretty much indicating the same thing.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 17:22 (eighteen years ago) link

Why the fuck doesn't "9 to 5" have a Dolly Parton sample? No wonder he's not going anywhere.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Saturday, 2 July 2005 22:03 (eighteen years ago) link

i wonder where this album will enter the charts.....

― ppp, Saturday, 2 July 2005 22:05 (eighteen years ago) link

This album is trying to cover way too many bases at once but at its best it pisses all over the Roll Deep album. Nite Nite is gorgeous.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 18:49 (eighteen years ago) link

I mean, its basically Wouldn't Want It Any Other Way with added Kano, but still...

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 19:03 (eighteen years ago) link

I feel like the only one in the world who genuinely likes the Roll Deep album.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 00:27 (eighteen years ago) link

The confusion over "Boys Luv Girls" and "Vice Versa" is that people incorrectly assume they're the same track - encouraged by the fact that "Vice Versa" as a title would actually kinda work for the Kano track.

"Vice Versa" is actually the instrumental Jammer track (the 8-bar with the sparkling pipes and evil bass) which was the flipside on the original "Boys Luv Girls" 12 inch. A lot of people refer to this as "Vice Versa (Remix)" to unnecessarily distinguish it from "Boys Luv Girls".

Unfortunately I suspect I actually started this trend two years ago!

I have this feeling that I will like the Roll Deep album when I hear it.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 00:42 (eighteen years ago) link

ha omg fux sake! for years i ws like "that v.v. rmx is prob the one thing i recall never ever hearing, but i shall do something with that curio b-side one day"

(this is the tune that begins "let me now turn to our program for the future" yeah?)

that explanation is semi-bunk tho, it ws one of the few 12s then of that ilk that had a label aaaaaand it said the following:

kano
vice versa
n.a.s.t.y

(erm also the label is on the boys luv girls side. i can always blame jungle for swapping intended label-sides tho)

make of it all what u will.
