The Streets - The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living

[Darko]

April 10, Mike Skinner returns. You'll either love or hate that news.

[Freedom Toast]

right on!

[Rob Dogg]

Perhaps not, he told NME that the album was on his laptop but his laptop broke due to something getting spilt, hes working on retrieving the album from his laptop but can't garuntee anything. I hope he can't get it back personally (y)

[alexandra]

another good album title.

[Tompz]

First album was excellent, second one not so great at all. I doubt he will repeat the brilliance of original pirate material ever again. We'll see though.

[hpdrifter]

I have OPM but haven't heard A Grand...

I'm looking forward to a new album.

[Leonie]

i've downloaded OPM,there are really nice songs but some are really shitty to me

so.. i dont think i'm gonna buy the new album, but maybe this one's much better so i'll just have to see..

[Rock]

I don't think I will ever understand the fasicination with The Streets. I try and try and try, but it just doesn't work. Any songs that I should check out to make me a believer?

[Darko]

'Stay Positive', 'Don't Mug Yourself', 'Fit But You Know It' and 'Dry Your Eyes' are songs that I'd recommend if you're trying to get into the Streets.

[roosta]

i like the streets.

[Parkey]

This excites me!

[Micodin]

Both of his albums are classic in my opinon. I saw hime live in boston a year back. His live show is really good. Dizzee Rascal opened for him... quite nice as well.

Where'd you hear/see it?

[ASsman]

Who? I might investigate.

[EN[i]GMA]

Who? I might investigate.

You don't know who the Streets is?

[roosta]

GMA']Where'd you hear/see it?

channel 4 showed it....mtv did "making the video"

[Parkey]

Hmmm. I'm not liking the new song much, it reminds me of all the 'oi oi!' stuff off the last two LP's I wasn't so keen on. I'm holding out hope for the album mind...

It's the first single, what do you expect?

That said, I love the song.

[saml]

someone said overrated?

[Darko]

As much as I dislike Pitchfork, this line from their review of 'When You Wasn't Famous' gives hope:

'Skinner still chats better than he raps, but here he puts the lie to all your presumed post-masterpiece never-agains (hint!).'

Sounds like they're hinting at the album being great. At least I hope so.

[ASsman]

GMA']You don't know who the Streets is?
No sir, I have very few mediums through which I can receive such new and exciting information. Sounds worthwhile though, I'll definitely look into it now.

Listening to the single When you wasn't famous, refreshing. Signed to Atlantic huh? Fucks who have been rreleasing all this new/old B.I.G bullshit. Warner fucking brothers.

[ASsman]

Watching the Blinded By the Lights video, excellent video, excellent single.

[Tzar]

i like the streets.
i don't like the streets.

before i read this thread, i was gonna post "i don't like the streets" but said to myself 'man, that's a useless post', now... not saying your post was useless, but if you can post that, i sure as shit can post my thoughts.

[Mr Films]

i tried in 03 to get into it but no luck.

my taste has changed though, i'll try again.

but this time, let's not have a thread every day about them, K?

[discopants]

Fuck off Streets!!!!!!
Its just fucking Chas n Dave.

[Mr Films]

none of you care. but today I'm going to buy both streets albums. it took 3 years but I'm curious enough now.

[ASsman]

I was not feeling the new single. Not as much as the past 2, those were great. Especially the videos.

[ASsman]

Enigma, do you know whose who from the
The Streets - Fit But You Know It (MC Version)
video?

[EN[i]GMA]

Enigma, do you know whose who from the
The Streets - Fit But You Know It (MC Version)
video?

I've never seen it, but 3 1/2 seconds of google netted me: Kano, Donnae’o, Lady Sovereign, Tinchy Stryder

[ASsman]

Fucker. Shoulda thought of that.

[Mr Films]

so I bought the first two records and I really like them.

however, I don't think I'd ever try to get friends into it as I can see how some would find it laughably awful.

[ASsman]

Idiots they be. They wished they could spit hawt fire like him.

[Whatitis]

"Hawt fire" That's awesome.

Mike Skinner has a great style with his lyrics and beats.

[roosta]

just heard it.

its really good (y)
