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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

thing is, if thats what kano produces, why doesnt he do more beats?!?!

ppp, Thursday, 14 July 2005 18:29 (eighteen years ago) link

Roll Deep (with Wiley) and Kano are both playing separate dates in NYC shortly...

Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Thursday, 14 July 2005 18:40 (eighteen years ago) link

the roll deep album is nowhere near as bad as it's made out to be (on occasion by me), but it's not terribly good either.

i'm not sure that the kano album is that much better, although maybe that's just because none of the songs which are new to me are that great.

The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 14 July 2005 22:17 (eighteen years ago) link

The good half of the Roll Deep album is really quite good. If they had replaced the bad half with Aim High Volume 2 tracks it would have been the best album by the year by so far it wouldn't even be funny.

Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 14 July 2005 22:27 (eighteen years ago) link

All the Roll Deep and Roll Deep-related tracks on Aim High 2 are amazing - I adore esp. Breeze on "Be Like This".

Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 15 July 2005 02:59 (eighteen years ago) link

three weeks pass...
anyone heard anything about a U.S. release date for Home Sweet Home or should I spring for an import copy?

T. Weiss (Timmy), Thursday, 11 August 2005 22:06 (eighteen years ago) link

two weeks pass...
Finally got round to listening this all the way through and I don't really see the hate at all. If you factor out Typical Me, I think its pretty much faultless up to an including Brown Eyes. Then it all goes horribly wrong and picks up with the last couple of tracks.

I even like the bits where he goes all emo.

layer cake mix cd was crap.

hes lost his drive, far as i can tell. very uninspired lately. cnt imagine all those features are going to help him much.

titchyschneiderMk2, Monday, 9 July 2007 14:39 (sixteen years ago) link

Remember when he did a song with Klashnekoff? That was OK.

Dom Passantino, Monday, 9 July 2007 14:40 (sixteen years ago) link

i dont remember.

id like to see him doing a song with both beddingfield siblings though. or someone else thats really shit.
