so i got it cuz i actually like some of her songs even though her lyrics aren't that great

and i actually think its pretty good, not great just alright more of a songs-u-would-play-at-a-party-album?

the remix of "love me or hate me" with missy elliot & sov is pretty nice

i'd give it 3 stars considering what other albums are out right now, we're obviously not in the golden age anymore :(

its not so fuckin awesome! but the beats are pretty good (imo)

Her EP was all right, as far as I recall. MIA is better.

I may check out this album.

Her EP was all right, as far as I recall. MIA is better.

I may check out this album.

well pretty much almost all the songs on her last EP are on this one

1. 9 to 5
2. Gatheration
3. Random
4. Public Warning
5. Love Me or Hate Me
6. My England
7. Tango
8. A Little bit of Shhh
9. Hoodie
10. Those were the Days
11. Blah Blah
12. Fiddle with the Volume
13. Love Me or Hate Me Remix (feat. Missy Elliot)

M.I.A is probally better but M.I.A is different from Lady Sovereign, they do have similar voices though

HEIRESS

MIA is shatloads better

every interview ive seen of lady sovereign the stupidest ass shit has come out of her mouth

mikizee

11-07-2006, 01:20 AM

i simply cannot understand why anyone would like lady sovereign. she sounds awful, she looks awful, did i mention she sounds awful?

she has absolutely nothing going for her.

shes raps about having hairy armpits for chrissakes!!!! FUCKING GROSS

how on earth did her shit get on the radio??? when there are sooo many talented acts out there that need exposure.....

HEIRESS

11-07-2006, 01:31 AM

Im not saying her music is total crap, but as far as personality goes I just want to punch her semi-retarded face in when I see it on TV

ggirlballa

11-07-2006, 01:46 AM

i like her personality so do my friends they say that it seems that she just lives her life having fun.

& yes i know that there are better rappers & yes the hairy armpit ryhmes are weird but she also does have better ryhmes that show off that she does have talent (maybe not as much as others but she' isn't talentless) & her music isn't that bad i'm a tough critic & i even gave her some slack for the fun raps

also on another note about the album it was produced by her & Dr.Luke, Basement Jaxx, Menta & Medasyn but she is listed as the Excecutive Producer

No Ad-Rock songs on it but she does thank an "Adam" might be adrock i doubt it though, also she thanks Jay-Z & LA Reid & others

11-07-2006, 01:47 AM

I'll take MIA plz. Her new shit is pretty insane. And without all of this militant stuff, like everyone was shitting on her for only.

hitmonlee

11-07-2006, 01:54 AM

i love lady sovereign, i believe i enjoy her "gimmick", that being her accent and her look.

never seen an interview

she has a very expressive face! i love watching her filmclips

HEIRESS

11-07-2006, 10:53 AM

Ive only seen 3 or so interviews and in them she appears to not even be listening to the interviewer or perhaps cannot understand english because she kept having to say "whaaauuuttt??" after every. fucking. question.

most annoying shit I havent ever viewed in my life

The Notorious LOL

11-07-2006, 11:02 AM

I would rather listen to Lady Sovereign over any other weak ass UK mc Ive ever heard.

Both her and MIA are fairly obnoxious, as far as Im concerned. MIA has Diplo production going for her though.

beastieangel01

11-07-2006, 12:40 PM

MIA is shatloads better

yes.

also I haven't heard too many Lady Sovereign so I guess I cannot really say. Nothing has blown me away though, what I did hear was just okay or dismissable.

ggirlballa

11-07-2006, 03:12 PM

to all the haterz here just wondering have u actually check out her lyrics? cuz i did last night besides the lyrics for "Love me or Hate me" and i was actually stunned that she does have some pretty good ryhmes...

venusvenus123

11-07-2006, 08:32 PM

i saw her at reading and she was brilliant. she's about 5 feet tall and had the whole crowd in her hands.

i don't know much about her lyrics, but a song about shaving your armpits sounds brilliant to me. (y)

i think lady sov is alright (y)

11-07-2006, 09:24 PM

I love SOV, (yes, when the EP came out).

Gareth

11-08-2006, 01:40 AM

i dont mind lady sov, she usually has some pretty good production behind her.
also, i think the mia comparison is unnecessary.

i still cant believe anyone could find her appealing in any way.

im speechless. i am without speech.

maybe it's a british thing. I remember when the streets first started to blow up in the states and americans complaining they didn't have a clue what he was talking about, and it's probably the same with lady sov (although i haven't actually heard any of her stuff). The record companies wouldn't have expected to do anything in the states so the records are very very british.

Americans are stupid. The Streets is cool. The accent puts off a lot of people but it's foolish to think he'd be mainstream. At least at first.

Lady is on such a big label... too bad half of the songs on the album are "old". And not very good..

i'm sure a lot of americans get the streets i think they were just suprised, a lot of talk about his flow or the lack of it and it was never really about that. He did very well over here commercially, at least the first two albums not sure how the last one did sales wise.

i'm really enjoying the album, but i think if i hear her go

make way for the s-o-VEEEEE one more time i'll scream

favourites so far: blah blah, public warning, hoodie, love me or hate me, fiddle with the volume

Just discovered that tight shit. I'm amazed. Apart from the woman from Cranberries - she's the only female voice I respect.

Missy Elslut - you learn from that girl! She's got talent and I hear she's at DefJam!

hitmonlee

02-06-2007, 09:33 PM

Apart from the woman from Cranberries - she's the only female voice I respect.

when she sings - i pray that death comes quickly. her or me i don't care, i find her voice several kinds of offensive. oh god now i'm thinking of that voice. ARGH killmenow.

anyway, lady sov is coming to perth and my friend is reviewing and taking me. eeeee!

Lady Sovereign pretty much undoes all the good that's come out of UK hip-hop in the last few years.

Lex Diamonds

uk hip hop = worthless
I don't get this... kids in America accept wack as fuck fake gangsta songs from idiots just cuz they're black and American, but when someone real who is English comes out with some proper street hip-hop, these same American suburban kids think its worthless. I don't understand it, how MC's take this rap game for granted.

The Notorious LOL

02-07-2007, 12:57 PM

its because England is a pretty gay country. Same rules apply for Canadian MCs.

that and the accent. Jesus.

02-07-2007, 01:31 PM

I got this cd for Xmas and finally listened to it starting a month ago. I liked her EP, but hadn't been in the mood to listen to it until recently. I was in a party mood and was looking forward to a night out, so it was a good cd to pop in.

there's a lot of repetitive words used throughout and constant name dropping of her own name, but if you just want mindless music to be silly to, this is it.

DIGI

02-07-2007, 01:50 PM

I think its actually the opposite, I think she sucks personally and if she was from Amercia she would be a joke.

Exactly, that's why I'm rarely seen in threads concerning rap artists. I cannot stand 99.8% of them. "But he's got dope beats!" I don't fucking care. I haven't heard anything from Lady Sov, but from opinions of those I respect here and personal friends of mine are alike, which leads me to believe that the only reason she landed a contract with Def Jam is because she's white, English, and isn't too hard on the eyes.

I don't understand it, how MC's take this rap game for granted.

I prefer 90% of british culture over american culture. I always wanted to live in the UK growing up. most of my favorite musicians are british... but I just... can't stand uk hip hop. I don't think british accents sound good when rapping (not counting slick rick), which probably makes me an ass. I've heard some uk rap that has been alright, but I find groups like the streets intolerable. that's not rap, that shit's talking. Additionally, and I'm saying this only because you quoted my post, but I don't listen to any "wack as fuck fake gangsta songs." I'm sure the street-hop from the UK is authentic, but for some reason it's just not palatable for most folks outside of that area. For me personally, I don't like listening to british rappers because i can't understand a word they say, it sounds like they're rapping with a jawbreaker in their mouth. that's a pretty offensive thing to say, but I'm just being honest and trying to give an authentic answer.

you idiot, i was talking about delores from the cranberries.

try reading the post next time.

i love lady sovereign, i hate delores from the cranberries. i'm clueless as to why that fuck was mentioned in a uk rap thread, but i hate to point out how much i hate her.

however you did say something about singing, i'm just pointing that out. of course i read your post.

do you have comprehension issues, or are you like me and get a kick out of being pedantic?

i only called you an idiot because you were busy trying to prove me wrong, which is crushing to my spirit.
