Dizzee Rascal - Tongue 'n' Cheek

[faz]

Sometimes I love the times we live in. About 20 mins ago I was informed that his new album was out the other day so I hopped on itunes and downloaded it. I've not really heard anything other singles than bonkers but I was well aware that this sound is a new direction he seems to be going in.

iTunes comes with 3 videos and a interview about each track. Tbh, if I knew I could of got it here (http://www.7digital.com/artists/dizzee-rascal/tongue-n-cheek/) for £5 I probably would of.

i dunno about sell out but i could see why some think that. i have always been aware of the guy but a mate lent me three albums last week and i thought i was gonna enjoy the later stuff more but i cant get enough of boy in da corner and most of maths and english but the new one is a bit meh.

that dirty cash remake stinks, its like he's turned into a cheecky cockney parody on some tracks when he shoudl stick to being a bit grittier.

dance wiv me is tired now, holiday is shit but bonkers is still amazing and the rest of the album never recovers.

[RoryMC]

Of course, I'll give this a spin at some point but I'm not holding my breath. I predict it will be poor. Boy in da Corner is his pinnacle, and it's a shame because it's his first effort. I Luv U is outstanding.

He just seems hellbent on celebrity now.

He just seems hellbent on celebrity now.

agreed and when you listen to fix up look sharp it makes it all look a bit sad.
but he's a funny lad on some rhymes i just think he has made some allowances in his style to sell records which i'm not comfortable with

[camo]

I'm just not feeling all of these 'rappers' working with dance producers to ensure they get a 'smash hit'...I know it's all money making and such but the songs stink. Bonkers included. I can't stand any of it.

Dizzee, Wiley, Tinchy etc etc (n)

[Helvete]

He can fuck off for all I care, I hate his accent and what he raps about. It's annoying because I like the electro type music it goes with, but it's all a cheap trick.

[nodanaonlyzuul]

I personally sometimes kinda sorta love cheesy catchy dance tracks :o

That said, I do find some of it falling under that category so I'll work out to it. But it surprises me that he chose to go this route.
