Not many of you lot will know what the heck I'm going on about now but I'm sure at least Mah will know.....

Went to see my old fella on Thursday for his birthday and I was sat in the living room watching MTV2 with my bro and his wife. An advert came on for The Streets album with a close up of him saying his, "lets.......push........things.......forward", line from the song.

Suddenly my bro's missus says, "I know him!, I used to work with him in McDonalds!". No s**t, she says she worked with him a few years back and he was DJing his own stuff back then too. I said his name was Skinner, Dave Skinner if I'm not mistaken, and that convinced her that it was him.

Strange but true.

mah
Mike Skinner actually.
but that's cool though!

Captain REX
Shows you were we get our musicians these days. roll eyes (sarcastic)

finti
So where do you thought we got musicians from Rex

Captain REX
I thought the same thing before. It would be great if any of those screwed up boy bands could even play instruments and stop singing mushy love songs. sick

finti
Streets is pretty far from boy band

Dim
Anywhere we can download some music?

finti

Dim

finti

Is that what most of European rap sounds like?

mah
its not strictly rap, its more a mix of hip-hop, reggae, dance, UK garage etc.
and no, its not what most european rap sounds like

Dim

mah

finti

Dim
I don't know..it's a little bit to laid back from what I've heard...a little soft. Not that I'm a big music person.

Dim

finti
Geezers Need Excitementis cool (Streets)

Its sooooooooo not rap its untrue. It is the anti-rap. Its negative rap...par if you will.

I always assumed it was garage myself, either way he's a brummy boy and I'll stand in his corner.

finti
its a kind of one man`s conversation or tale telling kind of stuff.
It is really hard to label what it is, but it aint rap
