First off, i appreciate Roots Manuva's work as genius edging oin insanity (that's a good thing).

I even rate him as one of the top 3 hip-hop artists in the world (very hard to understand, that's why methinks he aint as successful as he could be...plus he doesn't sell out as easy..)...

But Ms Dynamite is talented. She's like the UK version of Lauryn Hill. Maybe she'll never be as talented as her, but she certianly has talent. Could see that when i saw her performing before at a couple of gigs here and there...

So she's a bit garage, but she's decent at it. and she fuses it with RnB and Hip-hop...makes it good even...(actually, add a bit of fast-paced ragga to that too)....

Roots Manuva should've won all awards coming with his first two albums. Including that Mercury thing. But Dub Come Save Me is like 13 tracks long, of tracks that he rejected for Run Come Save Me. Still brilliant, but not as good as his other albums. I think she won it deservedly overall. even thohgh i'd rather listen to Dub Come Save me than Ms Dynamite's album.
