Heh, he's just one the Mercury Prize award. First 'rapper' to win it.

Good for him. I think i should check his stuf out more extensively.

hmmm i might also.

Though of course. Roots Manuva should've been the first 'rapper' to win it.

Sweet as a Nut Mate...

Worst Rapper in Europe

what you saying, personally i like that 'fix up look sharp' tune, the background in the video takes it back to old school with all the art and everything, impressed me dat did.

the most annoying voice is 'Braintax', i dont like him lol.

oh and be sure to check out www.spinemagazine.com for some uk hip hop culture; graf ; art ; breaking ; rap etc, yankee boy's be sure to check this site out. fix up look sharp lol

Braintax Voice Isn't Annoying...

If Anything 'Disease' Rascal Has An Annoying Voice

Checked a couple more of his tracks out.

He is good for what he is. People don't seem to get it's a mixture of his beats and lyrics and delivery. It's meant to be ironic amongst other things. Gritty yet also quite humourous.

His stuff is good. It's not really 'right' to compare him to hip-hop artists and work. He is on the whole, garage. And garage is an acquired taste, especially for avid hip-hop listeners...

I Can See Why Alotta People Like Dizzee Rascal Tho. I Mean He Hasn't Defected to Emceeing About Worldwide Cultures Like Past Uk HipHop Acts. Saying That Tho The Majority Of People Who Do Like Dizzee Rascal Haven't Experienced the Better Uk Hip Hop Acts, In My Opinion.

Just Watch How At the Mobos Dizzee n So Solid Will Be The Main Prize Winners Being ''Gangster Rappers'' n All.

Yeah, but that's the MOBOs. This is the Mercury Prize we are talking about.

I think a fair few have heard 'better' UK hip-hop acts. But just don't get into it. Not quite yet anyway. Thinking it's too close to US hip-hop. So can't get the feel for UK over US.

Dizee makes music which appeals to them more. The beats and fairly simple (yet gritty and at times amusing) lyrics. It's just one of those things. I can see UK Hip-Hop over taking this Garage thing. But i can also see it staying the same, it all depends on the climate of the industry both here and in the US (amongst other things)..

Personally i think he's alright. But can't see myself listening to his stuff all that much. But he does 'represent'. And does it fairly well. You got to respect that...

(Name me an album a UK hip-hop artist has dropped in the past 12 months this year that has been as definitive and wide ranging as Rascal's. Putting to one side hip-hop favouritism. And looking at it from a more general artistic point of view. I can't think of any at the moment)...

So Solid Crew made some good Garage tracks. Good pop songs which can be maybe played at clubs. But don't really like there music. and there isn't all that much to appreciate...

I'd Be More Then Happy If the Uk Hip Hop Scene Stayed the Way It Is.. I Don't Think I Could Deal With It Blowing Up in the Youth Scene Like Garage Did With People to the Equivalent Of Dj Luck n Mc Neat Riding the Commercial Wave Throwing Out ''Half Hearted Concepts n Lyrics That Are Lame.''

I Admit I Was Into Garage at One Point But When EveryOne Started To Jump Onto the Bandwagon Of Getting Recognized Then That's When I Said Enoughs Enough.

Aslong As The Uk Underground Still Throws Out Tracks That Are More Then Capable Of Dethrowning Dizzee Rascal Then That's Fine By Me. Obviously Uk Hip Hop is Growing, But Unlike the Garage Scene, I Think There Will Be a Small Group Of People Producing Top Notch Material.

Fallacy Made An Attempt Of Getting Into the Limelight With His Album But Never Did Get As Wide Spread Then Dizzee's.
