If you liked The Streets, you'd probably like M.I.A. She's really damn good.

And you should listen to Buck 65. I'd describe him as the Canadian version of the Streets.

If by 'mad' you mean 'self-indulgent wanker', I wholeheartdly agree.

yeah i dont know about that, but his drum and bass stuff is wicked, i saw him at a rave 3 years ago, and needless to say, his set was awesome.

why do you say he's such a self indulgent wanker?

My flat at Uni is a two minute walk from where Goldie grew up.

As you can guess it's a bit rough round there to say the least.

Mainly the track 'Mother'. 70 minutes of utter crap. Also he was in Eastenders...

But his early Metalheadz stuff was on the money.

I've never heard of it. When did that come out? With Bowie and Goldie acting you know you're in trouble.

wouldn't be able to tell you when it came out, my guess is a year or so before Snatch.
